I've never been a fan of Hillary Clinton's-- never. At least her husband's neo-liberal agenda was couched in a pleasant personality. Each time I've met her was-- literally-- disgusting. I was stuck with a monster. Once her whole retinue-- one by one-- abandoned her backstage before a speech and I was the only left to deal with her and it was excruciating.

Me and Martha, 1969 in MarrakechToday I get my poetry from Stephanie Kelton's work. She teaches economics at Stony Brook, where I went to college. She wasn't there then. In fact, she wasn't born then.
