A new season
It's one day away from December now.  A new season (early winter).  And it's time to haul out the advent calendars and count down to Christmas.  And the election is over and a new administration is soon to take office.  Cold weather, wool clothes, boots, sweatshirts, early darkness, frost on windshields . . .  and tons of new faces on news shows and all over downtown Washington DC. 

For your amusement and edification, I refer you to this article in the L.A. Times.  I admit to bafflement as to why Hillary would take the job since her power base is thereby immediately nullfied and as sec'y of state she's basically Obama's employee, than which I'd have thought nothing would have annoyed her more.

maybe you don't know her or her motives -- good thing they seem to be able to rise above the pettiness eve if you can't!

Indeed I don't know her motives; thus my curiosity. My query is not based on presumed pettiness but on what seems a disjunction between the facts that (a) Hillary has been so determined and independent and (b) a sec'y of state is a spokesperson for an Administration/ President, not an individual acting under his/her own directives. How many secretaries of state have become president? It's a less smooth path, history would indicate, since - as an administration's spokesperson - a secretary of state has fewer opportunities to develop his/her own caché than does a ranking Senator.
