My head hurts.
Point.
Counterpoint.
As an aside, could the Brewers pitching staff suck any more? For some silly reason I recently dished out big bucks and put on my Sconnie shirt only to see the Crew score 6 runs in the first three innings and still lose. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!Labels: baseball, brewers, quiz, State of the Union

Politics as usual?
Does anybody truly support any of the frontrunners in the Presidential campaign? Does anybody care about any of the issues in the Presidential campaign?
If you are at all curious about which candidates actually agree with you regarding some of the most important issues of the day, spend 2-3 minutes and take this survey:
[H]ere's a really simple way to find out which candidates share your views. This script is composed entirely of data collected by www.2decide.com. Enter your choices below and hit GO to rank the candidates.
I was skeptical of this quiz at first, but after a quick glance the methodology and data seem sound. After taking the quiz, I only had one so-called "front-runner" in my top 3. The quiz did help reaffirm my "ideal" choice, as well as help solidify my support for one of the so-called "front-runners" that will probably be left standing toward the end of primary season.
Once you are done examining your results, go and check out the net-wide results. I realize this survey may result from a skewed sample, but the results nonetheless are interesting. Surprise, surprise...just like the crowning of your high school prom king and queen, the current Presidential race looks decidedly like another sort of contest that isn't exactly based upon policy.
Oh, and if all this political talk has got you down, everybody needs to get a blimp, 'coz blimps are pretty pimp. I suppose you could also get a My-Little-Pony, or build an awesome domino rally. Thanks to b3ta for these last few links.Labels: campaign, quiz, State of the Union

Everybody loves quizzes! And Raymond, evidently.
Alright kids, judging by the seven comments on the "25 question" quiz post, here's another quiz to test your political compass. This one, spread out over 6 pages, will chart you on a cartesian system to demonstrate your
economic left/right position and your social libertarian/authoritarian position.
Your political compass:
Economic Left/Right: -5.63
Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -6.77
That puts me, again, as a "corporations are bad, let's hold hands and sing kumbaya, why can't we all just get along, peace-loving beatnik" type of person. According to the site's graph, I rank closest to Nelson Mandela and Mahatma Gandhi, and exactly opposite to Geedub. What a surprise. Like I needed a quiz to tell me that.
But I'm more interested in the second (Pope Benedict) and fourth quadrants (Milton Friedman, and C's favorite Andrew Sullivan). Will anybody here admit to getting a score in this range? Or should we all chew on granola for a while?
One thing is universal, though. Everyone loves bitching about this quiz.
