State of the Union?

Seeing as how I am an International Affairs major and thus am supposed to be interested in politics and whatnot, I feel obligated to write something about my opinion of Bush's State of the Union address last night, but alas, I FORGOT to watch it! I was planning planning to watch it, but then I ended up tinkering with my bicycle trying to fix it so I could start riding it to school, then I fixed it and was so excited that I decided to take it for a test ride to school, and when I got there I realized that the speech had started 45 minutes ago! I was kind of bummed.

Anyway, I have only read through the first few paragraphs of the transcript so far so I am not really in a position yet to form any opinions about the speech. We did spend the whole 50 minutes talking about it in my American Foreign Policy class today though, so I do have a few preliminary thoughts/observations/opnions. I think I will hold on to these though and wait until I've read the entire transcript before I write about my views on it.



In the mean time, I took a short quiz to determine which Princess Bride charater I am, and to my delight I am Inigo Montoya.

Inigo Montoya

In a depressingly strange twist of fate, I am Miracle Max. Not quite sure what to make of that....

Does it mean you are bitter about something, yet delightfully cheery in kind of a crazy sort of way? Don't let it get you down too much KO. :-)

Of course I really wanted to be Princess Buttercup, but I'm Westly. To tell you the truth, I don't feel like Westly...

But Westly is better than Miracle Max, isn't it? I do like Dustins description, tho....

If anyone is unhappy with their results from the Princess Bride quiz, at least it is not a very scientific process and you can just fiddle with your answers until you arrive at your desired outcome.

You're right! I can be Princess Buttercup! I had 4 more Westly results, but I'm finally Princess Buttercup! Thanks Dust!

Well I donno if I beat KO or not, but ur lovely little sister here is Fezzik, and "My way's not very sportsman like." So I hope you think of Fezzik whenever you think of me. I actually think its rather appropriate, since we share such a striking resemblance and all :)

I'm still waiting for you to summarize the state of the union for me....

Its good to know Dustin, by the way, that when the bear eats me (my preferred way to depart this world) that you will be likely to avenge my death.
