PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE CALCULATOR

Here's an interesting web site. Just enter your response to 23 current political issues and the calculator will return the 2008 presidential candidate most nearly matching your responses. It also rates the other candidates as "other top matches," "middle of the pack," and "bottom of the barrel" when compared to your responses.

Surprisingly, it nailed my top choice (currently Fred Thompson); more surprisingly, my second choice was rated as "middle of the pack" while my third choice was rated as "another top match."

HOW STUPID DO YOU HAVE TO BE TO GET INTO AN IVY-LEAGUE COLLEGE?

Pretty damn dumb, if you ask me. From the Boston Herald:

Watching a crowd at Columbia University cheering Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmad Whack-I-Job yesterday was nauseating. How did a two-bit anti-Semitic
loon get the prestige and platform of an invitation to an elite, Ivy League
institution?

But that’s the point. It takes Ivy League hubris to make such a shameful mistake. Nobody else would.

The SEC, the ACC - why, there isn’t a barber college or school of over-the-road trucking that would let a Jew-hating nut like President Whack-I-Job rant away on their campus. Your typical American university might offer credit in basket weaving and Science of Star Wars, but they do have their limits.
