What I would offer Clinton

Obama might need to cut a deal with Hillary Clinton to get her out of the race. Making her VP would be a terrible idea. But why not Secretary of Health and Human Services? She's definitely got an interest in healthcare, and if promised a great deal of prerogative and influence (maybe even the ability to take another whack at healthcare) she might be inclined to say yes. Toss in a promise of the next SCOTUS seat after healthcare is enacted, and it's a great deal all around.

The Man, The Myth, The Bio

East Bay, California, United States
Problem: I have lots of opinions on politics and culture that I need to vent. If I do not do this I will wind up muttering to myself, and that's only like one or two steps away from being a hobo. Solution: I write two blogs. A political blog that has some evident sympathies (pro-Obama, mostly liberal though I dissent on some issues, like guns and trade) and a culture blog that does, well, cultural essays in a more long-form manner. My particular thing is taking overrated things (movies, mostly, but other things too) down a peg and putting underrated things up a peg. I'm sort of the court of last resort, and I tend to focus on more obscure cultural phenomena.
