It's the day after New Hampshire. Hillary won by complete surprise. Collapsed after Iowa and rallied on the day before the election. Does the whole state of New Hampshire need some kind of crop duster laden with ritalin to fly over and medicate everyone for what can only be a mass case of ADD?
I'm not against Hillary, just amazed that our political convictions can be so slight. I love news and politics (obviously), but it's in the arts where a sense of timelessness can be anchored. A great book can last forever or be devoured in a day. A dance performance or a concert can be a self-contained world in which time is stopped. Or a play, like the Neo-Futurists' Too Much Light Makes the Baby Go Blind, can be advertised as a whirlwind ("30 plays in 60 minutes!") but seem to drag on...
Well, we have time to swing back and forth between HRC and Obama a dozen times or more before the election contest gets to the next state. Put on your seat belts!
