the 19th amendment, or something like that

jenny jeans,

i am a good-for-nothing.layabout.lazy.slacker. it has been far too long from your previous post, and i must give you my sincerest of apologies. to start, i feel i must first address some points given by you in your last correspondence.

1. i do like my hair a lot. its a big change, but it makes me feel a little bit more professional and, well, cute! it's always good to switch things up from time to time. you know what i mean. i like your hair the length it is now, however. i especially like it when you have it all wavy. you sexy thang you.

2. i.cannot.wait for you to get lily! i am so super pumped to sing her baptismal song, if you will. she looks precious.

3. you're just going to love having a cubicle. its very 'office space'. you'll soon shudder at the sound of your annoying cubemates on the phone. i have to listen to a guy that sounds like milton all day long. you know, the guy with the stapler from office space? i'm just lucky i can listen to the ipod. god bless steve jobs.

so, now that i've covered all that, i must shift gears and talk about something that's been bothering me lately.

i know you're a hillary supporter, so i will tread lightly here... i've heard on the news lately that she feels as though she has been treated more harshly than barrack hussein obama because of her gender. now, i agree with her to a point. i think she does have it harder because she is a woman. its really a matter of, "she's damned if she does, and damned if she doesn't." she can't show TOO much emotion because if she does, people will chalk it up to feminine hormones that she can't keep under control, but if she doesn't show enough emotion she, frankly, looks like a robot. so where does she find the middle ground?

so here's where i come up with my dilemma... that little crying episode she pulled awhile back... i just don't think she can have her cake and eat it too. if obama started crying in the middle of an interview like that, i think he'd be laughed off the stage. here is my question to you: where do you think the line should be drawn between using her feminity to further her political career and her complaints about it putting her at a disadvantage?

i will end on this note. i would love to have a woman president. like tina fey said on snl the other night, "bitches get shit done." that being said however, i don't want to vote for someone solely based on gender. i want a president who will work towards uniting the country, not dividing their own party.

all my love, and then some,

laura-loo

PS. i don't think it can get any worse than barrack hussein obama, can it?
