Wow, I don't want to quibble about it, but they are arguing over whether it should be "this is she" or "this is her" on some discussion board. I was taught, "this is she".

And you are right...(Rrrrring) Hello, may I speak to Aliska? This is she.

Yup, score one for me. But there may be those who disagree. It didn't used to be you could start a sentence with a conjunction. Everybody does it now, even well-written newspaper articles. I don't know what is taught in English any more, probably global warning. I missed some of the finer points on tests, that's for sure. And read Beowulf on my own long after I got out of school, now see there is a movie out based on it. I don't remember a thing about the substance of that poem or saga, only that it was the first something in English. But I digress and drift far off the tropical course, I mean topical course.

Hillary may get the nod, but can she win? That is the question. I kind of held my nose when I voted for GWB, but not because I disliked him all that much, just didn't want another Bush. When push comes to shove, I don't know what loyal Democrats will do. A lot don't like her, but if she and Obama kiss and make up, we are in for something.
