"Mr. Highbrow" (or) "A Necessary Irreverence"

OK, I've pointed you all to this before, but it's always good to revisit The Pornolizer.  Here is the White House website viewed through it.

Also, these guys have totally made my day:

In Lieu

of something profound (because I usually am *so* profound) on this rainy Saturday afternoon, I offer the following quiz results. 

I'm actually working on something about Law and Poetry - touching on "creative" v. "legal" thought, Archibald MacLeish, and my own subjective impressions of Identity and law school.  Apparently this is on Neo Tokyo Times's mind as well (say that 10x fast).


You scored as Cultural Creative. Cultural Creatives are probably the newest group to enter this realm. You are a modern thinker who tends to shy away from organized religion but still feels as if there is something greater than ourselves. You are very spiritual, even if you are not religious. Life has a meaning outside of the rational.

What Cannon of Construction are you?

You are the Golden Rule! You presume that the legislature would not want to apply the statute to achieve an unreasonable or absurd result inconsistent with its purpose. It's not what's on the surface that matters for you, and you try to do what's best in any given situation.
You're a bit unpredictable, but you don't mind.

A Bad Place?

Sometimes I just like to crunch through personality tests.  I don't know why.  Anyway, Steve got me on a kick and I took a few amusing quizzes at this website.

Apparently I'm an INTJ, which I nearly always get.  I'm also a SCOAI.

Political Compass

According to the political compass, I'm Economic Left/Right: -8.38, Social Libertarian/Authoritarian: -8.41, which places me somewhere a bit further out than the Greens, Nader, Nelson Mandela, Ghandi, and The Dalai Lama.  Bush is in the opposite quadrant.  Not surprising.

Edit:
Bored.  Did a few others during my jurisdictional studying.
