Before Hillary Clinton, there was Shirley Chisholm

Decades before Barack Obama or Hillary Clinton, there was Shirley Chisholm. As the first black woman to run for president for a major political party she was years ahead of her time. So why don't more people know about her?

Adam Hills acknowledged his convict roots and his able to be open minded on topics like this.

I adore Adam Hills.

[cynthia2015.livejournal.com]

Me too!. I have been a fan of his since he was just a relatively unknown Australian stand-up comedian. Before he started swearing on "The Last Leg".:D

[elisi]

Lucky you! :)

I make a big deal about the swearing because Adam was known as the "nicest" stand-up comedian. But I guess you can't do a "rant" like he does without getting passionate about it.

Sorry I have strayed away from the original topic. I always do that.:)

Ah, I see. And yes, being passionate often involves swearing.

"... being passionate often involves swearing"

Yes. Like in sport or in another activity that two people can share....:D

[elisi]

Indeed! :)

I had to go there.:D

Tennis use to be known as the "Gentlemen's Club" and look at what's happened?. I know they must be under pressure to "perform" but sometimes I think they can get carried away.

Now how do I go back to the original topic?. Maybe I'll just stop now?.:(

Naturally!

And sorry for vanishing, busy week! Have practically forgotten the conversation, sorry. Head full of fic/meta... And I've yet to get back to your other comments.

That's okay. Whenever your ready. I figured that if I forget something than I'll probably mentioned it in another post. You know how my conversations tend to go.:)

[elisi]

Aye aye! :)
