Everything you need to know

A friend just sent me this, from the Myers Briggs personality inventory.
INTP
Seek to develop logical explanations for everything that interests them. Theoretical and abstract, interested more in ideas than in social interaction. Quiet, contained, flexible, and adaptable. Have unusual ability to focus in depth to solve problems in their area of interest. Skeptical, sometimes critical, always analytical.

So, if you know me, does that sound like me?

If you are interested in M-B, here's the link

Now, on to some scary stuff. For some reason, in Britain, they seem to think Condi is a serious presidential contender in 2008.
Few expected so many British protesters to treat the woman who may become the 44th President of the United States as if she were General Pinochet in Ferragamo heels. In Birmingham, she and Straw had walked from church holding the hands of little girls wearing lace-trimmed ankle socks. In Blackburn, a mosque shut its doors to Condi, and pupils picketed a school she visited.

From here , and this is interesting also

PET PEEVE
Electibility! Each time Russ does something great, people start moaning about how he's now not electible. I am so sick of hearing that! First of all, if you believe in all that crap about having to find someone with toned down beliefs in order to win, you haven't been paying attention, and you should never have thought Russ had a chance anyway.

Russ has never run away from his decisions, and since many of those decisions supposedly were political suicide, yet here he is, reelected, it's time to stop worrying about that. I'd be far more worried if he was suddenly backing off, that would be the thing that would doom him, I know it would change my mind.

I think that people will be attracted to his certainty, his consistency, and his plain speaking. He is a master of turning around the talking points that are spouted by most "news" people these days. He is not distracted by the straw man arguments or the red herrings thrown out so often. He stays focused and on message, and is starting to inject a little humor now and again.

Bottom line is, if we can't elect someone like Russ, I guess we don't deserve the kind of good government that would result.

the electibility thing is really annoying, especially after what happened in 2004. kerry was supposedly electible, and he let bush's campaign use his vietnam service against him.
