Politics, open government, and safe streets. And the constant incursion of cycling.

Hillary? No. Al? No.

Dear Hillary and Al-

I know I am probably just getting suckered by the usual kids in DC, but just in case there is any truth to the rumours that either/both of you may join the Obama Administration – DON’T!  I’m not offering this as some snarky reverse psychology gambit.  But as a genuine and honest hope for each of you.  Hillary, you were in office before Obama, and you’ll be there after he’s gone.  We need you for the long haul.  Stay in the Senate.  Give Harry Reid a reason to look over his shoulder.  Al.  Don’t dick around with DC.  You’re bigger than that, now.  Why throw what you’ve got away for the pettiness of this town?  Think big.

Thank you,

MB

  1. I’m glad I’m not the only one who feels this way. Everyone seems so enthusiastic about both rumors, but they make me shudder.

  2. it doesn’t make much sense for Obama either. as the candidate for “change” why go to the old school? also, he doesn’t need them anymore. however I did hear that the economy is getting so bad that Obama is demanding a recount.

  3. They should put Al Gore in charge of drafting a constitutional amendment to do away with the electoral college.

    You’d have thought that would have come about sometime in the past 8 years, no? If 2000 didn’t motivate us to do something about it, nothing will.
