Week Two Begins...

Tonight's line up: 7:30 - Canada Reads. I want to hear them get really bitchy, real nasty-like. I'm so excited a new round has begun.

9:00 - MVP. I'm so curious about his show. There's sex, kidnapping, manicures. Could this be the Canadian trash I've been looking for? I had yesterday afternoon off, and wanted so very much, in my hung-over stupor, to watch Dr. Phil. After a lot of bitching and moaning about the impossibility of it, read Blind Assassin instead. God damn that's a good book.

Brie is sending me episodes of Moccasin Flats. Very excited for that as well.

Interesting article in the G&M about Hilary. I agree 100 per cent. The campaign has been giving me a sick feeling, like something just isn't right. Obama is behind in the polls - Americans aren't ready for a black prez. Hilary is, and it's because she's a wench in a bad pant-suit. There's a deep underling sexism going on. Sure, calling Hilary an "uppity woman" isn't like calling Obama an "uppity black," as the writer of the op-ed insists. It's more like "uppity man." But no one would ever call a man "uppity." It's something you only call a woman, like "bitch," an adjective reserved for a female who has crawled out of her place and thinks she's better than she is. Not that every Hilary supporter is full of sexist bile. But from some quarters, there's a kind of hate showing itself, one that is at best a double standard. Sad and creepy, and hopefully people will take a look at it nce Obama gets the nom.
