Journalistic Barrel Scrapings

Well, it's not another blue dress story but it still sticks to the bottom of your shoe.

Making Up Is Hard to Do - washingtonpost.com

The conversation was about how tiring it must be to run for president, and someone -- a woman -- said that, on top of everything else, Hillary Clinton has to spend an hour and a half getting ready for each day's campaigning. She didn't mean studying her notes and making sure she knows the name of the mayor of McKeesport. She meant doing her hair, putting on her makeup, deciding what to wear or at least thinking about it even if she has someone else to decide for her. And so on. Other women ridiculed the notion of an hour and a half, but the bottom offer was 40 minutes. And that's just in the morning. Shorter versions of the morning ritual go on throughout the day...

 

God protect us from beasties and ghoulies and things that go bump in the night and journalists.
