Debate = Yawn; Harvard and Stanford pass/fail?
The debate was pretty boring. All the polls seem to indicate that Obama was the more successful of the two candidates, and I’m somewhat inclined to agree. He certainly annoyed me less.
“My friends…”
Shut up! I’m not your friend, pal!
Anyway, Harvard and Stanford are considering going to a modified pass/fail for their law schools, which means essentially a doing-away with grades.
Above the Law provides me with this video, though.
That was crazy. I hope all law schools switch, and we can all do stuff like that.

I found this pic on Fark.com, specifically here.
How nerdy. Also, clown car!
Seriously, Hillary supporters?
Here’s something I don’t understand:
Why would you, an ardent Hillary Clinton supporter–and thus a supporter of the Democratic Party by extension–vote for McCain in the General Election? McCain’s policies are 180 degrees in the other direction from Hillary’s, because he is a Republican. There is little to no overlap between the two parties; voting for McCain over Obama is a faux pas of the highest degree. Any of the platform positions Hillary had promised you would quite possibly see the light of day with an Obama presidency, and it goes without saying that they will be put to bed in perpetuity if McCain wins the White House.
Why is this so hard to understand? I’ve heard this so often from Hillary supporters: “Well, Obama doesn’t have any experience, so I will vote for McCain (or not at all).” That is the most idiotic thing I have ever heard, and I know many idiots. Being president isn’t a matter of experience; there is no trial run to see if you will make a good one. Oftentimes people say that governors make good presidents; this is somewhat true (Clinton) and somewhat false (Bush). It’s all a matter of personality and the people a president surrounds himself with. Obama is graced with charisma and charm, so that goes a long way. We haven’t had a charismatic president since Kennedy (Clinton kinda counts, but I wouldn’t say he was charismatic; he was personable, sure). McCain, unfortunately, has all of the personality and charm of shoe leather, and he’s betrayed everything he used to stand for.
So, in short, voting for McCain over Obama is stupid, Hillary supporters. Nothing you wanted to gain with a Hillary presidency will be gained if McCain wins. Apparently this fact isn’t as obvious as I thought.
