Elaine: I cannot identify a single aspect of her that convinced me of her mannish disposition, but I only wish she could draw a leaf or two out from other women leaders in the world when it comes to her wardrobe. One never sees President Gloria Arroyo or Chancellor Angela Merkel wearing trousers, do they?

Fab: Yes, there is coverage about the Spanish GE as well as the French municipal election. But they were swamped by the media coverage of the Malaysian GE though.

I completely fail to understand why whether Hillary Clinton prefers to wear trousers over skirts is even remotely an issue. Having said that, I'm not quite sure how serious Loic is being here. Is the idea of women wearing trousers on semi-formal occasions something that would cause surprise in Singapore? All I can say is that it would be very normal here, even though that wouldn't have been the case say 50 years ago.

Good job, Elaine!

Another new avatar...I feel so unimaginative, still using the same old one. Perhaps I need a makeover.

A makeover!

Overwhelmed when others change their stripes around you?

Well, don't get too weird on us.

You're not really being left out of all the excitement.

Perhaps you just feel the need to show another side of yourself.

Awww, they're so beautiful, Elaine!

Now, what does this all have to do with the US presidential election? Or is that subject so ridiculous that we have to change it?

Well, the primaries are winding down, so most of the excitement's over until the actual race starts. I have to admit that I've pretty much lost interest at this point.

This is the latest political video from JibJab. I thought it was funny enough to share.... Careful, though, the tune is catchy!

It tells you how far America has fallen when a man like Obama becomes a presidential nominee....
