I didn't spend a lot of time writing today. I had to recover from a particularly horrible special education meeting on Tuesday. Lunch with my sister and lots of lazy reading on the sofa happened. I have a quick window of time before I have to figure out dinner and get Jonah ready for a band concert. Some links for the lazy reading afternoon:
Did Clinton close the book on Bengazi?
A terrible account of being cyber-stalked. The good news is that it leads to a book deal.
The close relationship between an editor and the writer.
Bill and Hillary are looking for a home on the Hamptons. Didn't anyone tell them that the Hamptons are out, and the Catskills are in?
An American Girl doll's life in a New York City library.
How to deal with a mansplainer in Hillary .GIFs.
Glad that more attention is going to improving the four year college graduation rate.
The first editorial that I've ever read that discussed public pooping.
Apt. 11d 
“Didn’t anyone tell them that the Hamptons are out, and the Catskills are in? ”
I suppose there are trends, but people are essentially beach people or mountain people. Mayhap the Clintons are beach people.

O my gosh, how terrible to be a girl whose parents refuse to buy you dolls. I’m so glad my parents let me have legos and toy soldiers and a toy garage and all that stuff (although my mom did insist that the toy soldiers be a birthday present, not a Christmas present).

I still don’t understand the Bengazi-spin. I understand attacking the administration for a security plan that was revealed to be insufficient, but the thing about Rice and whether it was a riot or planned attack and what she should have said on the TV seems beyond pointless. I wonder if the same pollster who told the Ohio was a sure win didn’t decide on that strategy.

I loved the librarian story, too, and Flora, the little girl who starting writing her own stories after checking out the doll?
I don’t get the Bengazhi thing either, but have assumed that the obsession is the result of a conspiracy echo chamber (kind of like the birther thing, but I hope with more evidence given that its congressman focusing on the conspiracy). But then, I’m a flaming liberal, so my biases would make it hard for me to get a story that involves teams of congressmen grilling Clinton (or Rice).

PS: The story of the Library Doll of the East Village is just dying to be written. I hope someone is thinking about it.
