    Hillary Clinton has joined Twitter. The former Secretary of State and one-time Senator from New York showed off her wry sense of humor with her very first tweet that pays tribute to the #tweetsfromhillary meme that went viral awhile back and a nod to the fame of both her hair and pantsuits in her bio on the social media site. The bio is largely being regarded hilarious ... by most.

    Then there are the Americans horrified today that Madame Secretary is quite content to dub herself a "wife" and "mom" first and foremost ... well before her descriptor of herself as a "glass ceiling cracker" and "TBD" (that's to be determined for you Twitter virgins).

    The chatter about Hillary Clinton running for president in 2016 just won't die down. And now, the rumor has seemingly undergone an entirely new transformation: Some are saying she may land on a dream ticket with current FLOTUS Michelle Obama. Whaaaa?! Says who!?

    Technically, the buzz stems from bumper stickers random people have made on CafePress and a quote from former Clinton spokeswoman Karen Finney, who told the Washington Examiner, "Both women are proven effective leaders who've raise children, so dealing with Congress would be a snap!" True, true! Seems to be more wishful thinking than something that could actually happen, but it sure would be amazing if it did! Here, six reasons why the two powerful and brilliant moms have what it takes to get 'er done in D.C. ...

    There's no doubt that Hillary Clinton is a popular figure among Democratic women. Her approval rating is even higher than the president's.

    But I also noticed something interesting when Condoleezza Rice spoke at the Republican National Convention last summer--

    My Facebook newsfeed lit up with emotional accolades from my Republican and independent friends, who were enamored by Rice's speech and her poise. 

    This leads me to believe that 2016 could give us an awesome and historic presidential candidate match-up: Hillary Clinton vs. Condoleezza Rice.

    And I'm not the only one hoping it'll happen.

    Whoa, so, it hasn't even been more than a few days since Hillary Clinton left her post as Secretary of State, but judging from her new website, it already looks like she may be kicking off her campaign for the presidency. Whoa! So far, HillaryClintonOffice.com features just a contact button and a presidential photo of Hillz, but it's certainly a sign of something brewing. Add in the fact that Bill and Chelsea Clinton sent a mass email yesterday, urging recipients to "thank Hillary for making our country and our world, stronger, safer, and better," and it's kind of hard to imagine that she isn't already planning a 2016 run.

    Democratic strategists agree, noting, "These are not the kind of things you do if you want to fade quietly into the night." Seriously! But okay, okay, let's not get ahead of ourselves ...

    Last month, when Hillary Clinton suffered unfortunate health setbacks, it was obvious the buzz would start from both sides of the aisle ... Was this a sign she wouldn't be in fighting form to shoot for a second bid for the presidency come 2016? Was this a sign her political career was on the brink of OVER? Geeze, liberals hoped not! Gosh, conservatives hoped so!

    Well, now, it's looking like the former have more reason to be whooping and cheering, because already two super PACs have been launched anticipating her campaign. The first group, HillaryClintonSuperPAC, was formed by Iowa resident Nigel Wallace. And "Ready for Hillary" filed paperwork with the Federal Election Commission on Friday. It's described as "a small coalition of supporters of Clinton and President Barack Obama, ready and waiting to aid Clinton in a future campaign." Awwwesome! What's more, Hil herself isn't completely denying a run ...

    Of all the many memorable moments during last night's 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards, there was one that definitely stands out as something we'll all be talking about for years to come: When the one, the only, the VIP of the night walked on stage ... Yes, I'm talkin' bout BIG DOG himself, Bill Clinton! Guess it wasn't enough for him to steal the show at the Democratic National Convention. He had to show up and steal the show at the kick-off for awards season -- by introducing a clip of Steven Spielberg's "brilliant ... extraordinary" film about the 16th president, Lincoln

    And seriously, the reaction in that star-spangled audience was AMAAAZING. All of Hollywood's A-listers were clearly surprised, and they were showering ol' Bill with nothin' but love. But there were two stars who seemed more impressed by someone who wasn't even there last night ...

    In real life, Hillary Clinton is a Secretary of State stepping down after a successful term. But in Hollywood, "Hillary Rodham" may be a character in an upcoming movie about Madam Secretary's younger years called Rodham. No, there's no green light yet, but there is a buzz-worthy screenplay making the rounds. The script follows the exploits of a 20-something Hillary Rodham as she balances the pressures of her job (working to impeach Richard Nixon as the youngest attorney at the Justice Department) with her budding romance with an ambitious guy from Arkansas (a would-be politician named Bill Clinton). Sounds juicy!

    Granted, it may be too soon to start thinking in these terms, but with the hype already surrounding the script -- it is #4 on the "Black List," a much-watched poll, in which film execs name the best unproduced scripts they've seen -- why shouldn't we start speculating on what it could look like and, most importantly, who would play Hill?

    After news broke on Sunday that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had been admitted to New York Presbyterian Hospital due to a blood clot, there was a lot of worry running rampant. But no one could have been more worried than her husband, former President Bill Clinton, and daughter Chelsea Clinton. Ever since the story made its first headlines, actually, I've been wondering when we'd hear from one or both of them. 

    Well, on New Year's Eve, Chelsea took to Twitter to offer an update. She wrote, "Thank you to all for sending good thoughts my Mom's way. Grateful to all her doctors &that she'll make a full recovery!" Whew, right? 'Course that didn't mean the former First Daughter -- or her dad, the Big Dog himself, for that matter -- didn't look visibly upset and distraught after they both visited Hillary in the hospital on Monday.

    Secretary of State Hillary Clinton was hospitalized at New York Presbyterian Hospital today after doctors say she suffered a blood clot during a follow-up exam related to a concussion she suffered this month, said her spokesman, Deputy Assistant Secretary Philippe Reines. He elaborated that Hillary will remain at the hospital for the next 48 hours, so doctors can "continue to assess" her condition, "including other issues associated with her concussion," treat her with anti-coagulants, and "determine if any further action is required." Ugh.

    The concussion occurred while Hillary was suffering from a stomach virus earlier in the month. (You know, the same virus some conservatives were claiming to be political fakery that would conveniently allow the Secretary of State to avoid testifying in an open Congressional hearing about the September 11 U.S. Consulate attacks in Benghazi -- which now sounds even more ridiculous.) She fainted due to dehydration, causing the concussion. So scary.

No matter what side of the aisle you're on, it's probably felt like you've been duking it out for what you believe since January 1.

    Here, the top 12 political changemakers of 2012, in order from just plain great to most mind-blowingly incredible ...
