Random Thoughts on a Boring Day

January 25, 2007 1:26 PM

n-fucking-believable! I seriously don't plan on blogging only about this class from now on, but this is fucking ridiculous. We just had to "register our clickers." Well, other people did--I don't have a clicker. Anyway, this was the most absurd thing I've ever been involved with in law school. Basically, people's names scrolled down the screen and, at the right moment, people had to push one button, then another. It was the stupidest thing ever. And, to top it all off, we're going to have to do it again on Monday because it didn't work this time. Fucking amazing.

I don't have much to write about right now, so I've scoured the news for stuff to get pissed off about. Here are some of my favorite stupid stories:

Tiny London Apartment on Sale for $335K
Location, location, location, right? Well, regardless of where this 77-square-foot apartment is, you're still paying more than a third of a million dollars to live in a glorified shoe box. The idiots that would rather live in a jail cell in some pretentious neighborhood than a decent place in a not-as-trendy neighborhood deserve this place. This is one of many indications that our society has stopped being rational. This place doesn't even have a stove! It has two hot plates! Ugh.

Cheney: Talk of blunders in Iraq is 'hogwash'
This is like that time smoeone asked President Bush what mistake he regretted most and he responded that he hadn't made any mistakes. It can be explained in one of two ways, I think. The first is that Cheney really doesn't think the Bush Administration has made any mistakes. If this is the case, then Mr. Cheney is a moron of unbelievable proportions. The second possible explanation is that he thinks people will believe him when he says that his administration has made no mistakes. If this is the case, then Mr. Cheney believes that each and every American is a moron of unbelievable proportions. In either event, all he's doing is demonstrating, yet again, that the entire administration is comprised of very, very, very stupid people.

And, also, someone should tell him that denying the premise of a question is generally more effective when you do it rather than say you're doing it.

Obama calls for universal health care within six years
That's great. Why doesn't he also make it his goal to get rid of poor people and rich people. Nothing that I saw in the article even mentions a plan for paying for universal health care. It's this kind of half-assed political nonsense that makes the primary season so annoying. Even though Mr. Obama says that he's not making empty promises, the promise of universal health care, unsupported by a realistic plan to pay for that care, seems pretty empty.

Meanwhile, Mrs. Clinton keeps talking about talking. I don't know what the point of her "let's all figure this out together through sitting around and talking" strategy is, but I can tell you that it's annoying.

That's all I've got right now. This class gets more and more ridiculous each time. Wow.

i am with you man! i LOVE concise/off the cuff hillary--the one who responded to stupid questions (posed for the sake of provocation) by saying "that is NONsense." i would probably kill for her.

it all falls apart when she reads prepared speeches aimed at the voting public, she is a total douche.
