All about Shakira; watching Hillary

It’s not ever day that one has the opportunity to put pictures of pop star Shakira into a political. But she was in Washington recently to raise awareness for her favorite issue, universal education, the effort to provide millions of children around the globe who are now denied even a basic education the chance at one. She’s a spokesperson for the Campaign for Global Education. A very worthy goal, indeed. But let’s face it, that’s not why the House hearing room was packed recently with gawkers. It was all about Shakira, whose hips weren’t lying on Capitol Hill.

Hillary Clinton appeared on the “Today Show” a few days ago. I watched the whole “Today Show” appearance (so you don’t have to unless you’re feeling masochistic), but you might want to watch it to hear her complain about how it’s harder for a woman to run for president.
It takes her longer to get ready in the morning, and, of course, there’s all that discrimination against women. I also got a giggle when she said “you don’t know what kind of problem is going to walk in the door or the Oval Office.” I really think she’d be well-advised to keep him out of the Oval Office.
