But you know, things can always be worse...

Three weeks down and it's only January 6th! That's what happens when the Poli Sci class meets three hours a day. Dare we say--timewarp?

It might explain why on 2 days ago (or was that 2 weeks?), dragging myself and my aunt out of our evening DFA meetup, I had a revolt of the immune system and another 24 hours of delirium, enhanced only by Thursday's in-depth discussions of Federalist papers 10 and 51--and before noon to boot. Tread lightly, dedicated citizen. Treason of the majority and checks and balances are dangerous things to consider in the morning, without the ingestion of rum, or in the very least, espresso.

But you know, when one really starts to look at things, politics and history are funny! Wikipedia says Alexander Hamilton is the principal author of the Federalist Papers, and who are we reading--Madison! Ladies and gentlemen, it's not about volume; it's about substance. 10 and 51 are the ones everybody knows and they weren't written by Hamilton.

Then the adulterer gets the floor and what does he suggest? Legislators and presidents for life? Yikes. See, we're just trying to make it to 2008, and just look how bad it could have been. Truth be told, the direct quote is "hold their places for life, or at least during good behavior", but I'm not sure we could we keep someone in office more than 10 minutes if the qualifications include good behavior.
