About the Blog

The thoughts and theories of a guy who basically should have gone to bed hours ago.

I know, I know - what's the point? But look at it this way - I stayed up late writing it, but you're reading it...

Let's call ourselves even & move on, OK?

Hillary Clinton: Young People Ain't So Bad


Hillary Clinton told the U.S. Chamber of Commerce last week that young people in America "think work is a four-letter word," because they "have a sense of entitlement after growing up in a 'culture that has a premium on instant gratification.'" (quotes from the AP article, which may have been paraphrasing).

Chelsea Clinton, now 26-years old and working as a consultant for McKinsey & Co., called (out) her mother by telling her, "Mom, I do work hard and my friends work hard." After which, Hillary promptly corrected herself, saying "I was referring only to young people that can't vote yet."

No, just kidding. She issued the proper politician-apology: "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to convey the impression that you don't work hard [by saying you don't work hard]. I just want to set the bar high, because we are in a competition for the future."

OK, I added the part in the brackets, but hey - this is so much fun...

Anyway, go Chelsea!
