I'm big enough to admit when I'm wrong

Yeah, Hillary Clinton has conducted herself admirably since dropping out. I still think she stepped over the line of acceptable behavior at multiple points during the primaries, and my opinion of her has been lowered for good, but I'm willing to revise my opinion upward. I don't think I'll be able to forget what happened, but forgiveness is not out of the question.

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.
