Good job ASU students! When you're not rockin' out to bands in the middle of the day next to the library when kids at other universities are studying, you're getting the leader of the free world to throw the shocker!

It makes me proud to be associated, even remotely, with you.

(Yes, I'm aware of the pitchfork gesture, but I think this is a very grey area).

Excerpts from the Decider in Chief's recent speech in Tipp City, Ohio:

• "Politics comes and goes, but your principles don't. And everybody wants to be loved -- not everybody. ... You never heard anybody say, 'I want to be despised; I'm running for office."'
• "There are jobs Americans aren't doing. ... If you've got a chicken factory, a chicken-plucking factory, or whatever you call them, you know what I'm talking about."
• "There are some similarities, of course" between Iraq and Vietnam. "Death is terrible."
• "I've been in politics long enough to know that polls just go poof at times."

Really gives me a warm, fuzzy feeling to know he's got his finger on the trigger of the US nu-cu-ler arsenal.
