I am so happy today!

You will notice the abundance of political news. The Presidential variety. All very good. Most or all of it about Hillary Clinton.

Now comes before the blog, this beautiful piece of work by Timothy Egan in the NYT.

Hillary’s Step

Some of it is hilarious. Some of it irreverent. Wonderful!

On Mount Everest, just shy of the summit, the final rock-and-ice obstacle that stands between a climber and the highest point on the planet is known as the Hillary Step. It was named for Sir Edmund Hillary, who made the first ascent of the mountain along with Tenzing Norgay in 1953.

The other Hillary — who is not named for the mountaineer from New Zealand, contrary to what she and her husband had long claimed — is at the crux of her life climb. But Hillary Clinton is stuck at her own Hillary Step.

I love the bundling. Billary all over again. Only the other way around.

The myth making, self aggrandizement and inevitable overstatement. Good ol' boy chatter box stuff. Remember, Bill is an old Arkansas Bubba and Hillary married him. Bubba redux. Bubbette?

Egan is more or less a liberal, a reliable Democrat-type voice. And he is right where I am. Turned off by the Clintons. Period.

It is all bubbling up again.

Great theater.

Maybe my last general election, but probably not. I plan on at least three more.
