Rotten Potatoe
Ok. I take back all the John Edwards stuff. First lab, then my mom, then Eric convinced me that it's not a bad idea -- I just wanted a fun headline. "Kerry Chooses Warren Beatty" -- that would bring some life to this otherwise tired political process. It would also, of course, cost Kerry the election.
Allow me to illustrate my sadness:
John Ritter + Down Syndrome = John Edwards
In brighter news, I'm currently reading a book called "Class: A Guide Through the American Status System." Apparently, my immigrant background puts me somewhere between "High Prole: White collar" and "Middle Prole: Blue Collar" -- there is some discrepancy between having a family literate enough to have books in the house and being rude enough to holler at someone in another room. Might need a shrink for this one. (prole = proletariat, but gentrified).
I was 15 seconds away from buying an iPod yesterday. Amazon.com has a sale where you get a $50 gift certificate back for any purchase over $250 in electronics. Anyhow, my willpower stood strong, but I relay the information in case anyone else might be in the market.
My wonderful idea for yesterday was to start "RottenPotatoe.com" -- a political site that works the same way that RottenTomatoes.com works. Every political decision would presented with a "% fresh" rating depending on if the nation's papers and magazines liked it or not. Anyhow, the domain name's still there -- but I haven't the wherewithall to do it -- but I think it'd be super cool. The gimmick there is that Dan Quayle can't spell "potato," btw.
