President Simpson?

by Bryan

There was an article in The New York Times yesterday about Hillary Clinton’s letters to a pen-pal in college. They heavily excerpt the letters, and I can’t help but think that Hillary Rodham sounds a LOT like Lisa Simpson, who in fact, became President in one forward-looking Simpsons episode.

“Since Xmas vacation, I’ve gone through three and a half metamorphoses and am beginning to feel as though there is a smorgasbord of personalities spread before me. So far, I’ve used alienated academic, involved pseudo-hippie, educational and social reformer and one-half of withdrawn simplicity.”


“Can you be a misanthrope and still love or enjoy some individuals? How about a compassionate misanthrope?”


For what it’s worth, sounding like Lisa Simpson is a good thing, despite my “Major Problem” from last week.
