We'll cross our paws that a few will find their way over to our humble little corner of the blogosphere. BTW, Moose snapped some photos of the red-headed vintage Barbie Goose's parents gave her as a child (an early example of consumer-based identity politics, I think). She's been meaning to send them to you for one of your Barbie blogging posts -- Maybe when classes end next week.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the preservation tips. The note was written on a folded up piece of some kind of graph paper. Definitely a student production, I'd say.Roxie Smith Lindemannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06455529922082930949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-69164319011388411392008-05-05T12:58:00.000-04:002008-05-05T12:58:00.000-04:00Oh, and p.s., I don't have any tips for you. I th...Oh, and p.s., I don't have any tips for you. I think just popping it in a file folder labeled "2008 Dem Primary" and forgetting about it for 10 years will do nicely. (I wish I could forget about all of the ugliness in this primary as easily as tossing my memories into a folder.) Don't bother with acid-free folders, unless you're obsessive-compulsive. Digital is good, but some of us like to feel and smell the paper. (Does it have fringies from being torn out of a student's notebook? Is it on a piece of paper recycled from the computer lab? Etc. I'm not sure these questions are terribly important, but you never know...)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-25306291548991111112008-05-05T12:55:00.000-04:002008-05-05T12:55:00.000-04:00Roxie and Goose--I've been considering doing a pos...Roxie and Goose--I've been considering doing a post today about the note you got and that nasty handwritten sign about "keeping Bill happy." Ugh. Writing about the denial of tenure to women seems strangely low-conflict compared to writing about this primary any more, although they're about basically the same thing: holding women to entirely different (and much higher) standards than men.

Thanks to our Mighty Hillary Woman up at Hopkins for pointing us to http://correntewire.com. There one of the entries points out what Michelle Obama is STILL saying:<BR/><BR/>http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sN1qZMBE9Gc<BR/><BR/>Michelle describes “rolemodeling and what families should look like”<BR/>then brings up Bill Clinton’s infidelities in a speech at Southside Black Women’s event:<BR/>“if you can’t run your own house you can’t run the white house”<BR/><BR/>White women and all women who have ever been cheated on by their spouses can crawl under the bus now.<BR/><BR/>There are also signs that are being made at Obama rally’s that say<BR/>http://noquarterusa.net/blog/2008/05/04/despicable-sexist-sign-outside-indiana-dinner/<BR/><BR/>“If she can’t keep Bill happy, she can’t keep me happy”<BR/><BR/>Brings back fond memories, doesn’t it, women? If you are too young to remember, then welcome to the universe where women are shamed for other’s acts. Misogyny is great ain’t it? <BR/><BR/>By the way, the poster at correntewire reports that "The Obama staffers do nothing to discourage this." So much for a new kind of politics.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if Tim has seen his note on your blog, Rox?<BR/><BR/>Here's to DEMOCRACY FOR ALL,<BR/>GooseMartha Nell Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10066686045532002283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23938076.post-36880276495724124572008-05-05T08:29:00.000-04:002008-05-05T08:29:00.000-04:00Thank you, Historiann, for appreciating the histor...Thank you, Historiann, for appreciating the historical value of the Tim letter. Perhaps you can give the moms some tips on document preservation -- They're just lit critics, you know, so their sense of texts is highly abstract. The one who is a manuscript scholar prefers her documents in digital form, so how could she be trusted to save a piece of paper??? (Let's see how long it takes Goose to take that bait, okay? Should be fun!)<BR/><BR/>As for the note itself, yep, I'd say poor Tim is representative of a new breed of bull-dogged Dems seeking to win through intimidation and attacks on fellow Dems.

Please ask your typists to preserve it in their home archives (or glovebox in the prius, whatever) as a memento of this lovely primary season. Historians of the very near future will marvel at it, and learn a lot from it.<BR/><BR/>That note really sums it up: entitlement, smugness, the use of invective rather than facts, and above all, the attack on Clinton (and her supporters) FIRST rather than anything positive about their candidate.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
