I don’t know the introductory song. (This is because I am old.) Hillary wears a lovely orange pantsuit which has only a modest resemblance to orange sherbet.

Hillary wrote to NASA as a girl and said she wanted to be an astronaut, but they weren’t taking girls. She’s glad this has changed.
Hillary gives little girls something to look up to. Asks the woman who plays her on SNL if she really laughs like that. “Hillary doesn’t sing well. You don’t want her […]

When I was a baby, my mom used the UPCs from packages of Pampers to send in and receive and free tape of lullabies with my name inserted into them.  A soothing voice sang songs about whatever it is that babies enjoy and it would say my name at opportune times.  I have no clue […]

I went to four years of band camp in high school.  It was all day long, in god-awful heat, with a bunch of god-awful people for weeks.  It was terrible.  It was like going through hell every single day but it taught me perseverance and other amorphous character traits.  Whatever it was, it was most […]
