Posting is probably going to be light this week and next, as I adjust to my first quarter in business school. I'm only taking one class, but it's a doozy (business statistics).

I'll resist posting a picture of me in my "back to school" duds, lunchbox (or dinnerbox, since I'm an evening student) in hand, heading to the GSB.

» Senator Clinton in Probate Court?

I've turned into a political junkie during this election cycle, but one thing I missed -- linked to recently in a post-mortem about sexism and Senator Clinton's loss to Senator Obama -- was this, from January.

Evidently there's a television show called "Morning Joe," and on it someone named Mike Barnicle (the Sailor?) said of Senator Clinton:

"... when she reacts the way she reacts to Obama with just the look, the look toward him, looking like everyone's first wife standing outside a probate court....

I don't think I get it. Does he mean the way a wife would look at her husband in divorce court? Because probate court and divorce court aren't the same thing (at least not in Illinois). It still doesn't make any sense to me.
