Joan Juliet Buck's Beef With the Media

In response to: Is Hillary Clinton being snubbed as Secretary of State?

Gossip about status and rank is just the kind of boring garbage that makes the media seem to be a constant reiteration of tepid air.

Nicely said! I like it so much, I think I shall go drop a little bittersweet chocolate into my coffee and then read it again, while I sip, slowly, savoring.

And it is delicioso! here I am pouring you a tiny little virtual china cup of thick and chocolaty coffee goodness. hmmm Virtual: “that which is not real” but may display the full qualities of the real. Colloquially, ‘virtual’ is used to mean almost, , “That’s virtually [almost] impossible. So how does that translate to virtuous or to virtue? Virtual · Virtual reality · Augmented reality · Augmented virtuality · Projection augmented model As I suspected, virtue is a ‘created state of mind’. ha! ha! ha! ha!

This sounds like high school gossip - she said she said… boring….. I want to know what Hillary is doing. And I hope she realizes that she cannot do it all. We need to give her some space for a change. Obama would not have appointed her to such an important position if he thought she wouldn’t do a good job. Even though she has skeletons, she is one of the better appointments he has had.
