1. I'm a huge dork and have a ginormous crush on a journalist.
2. This really awesome journalist lectured at my college and I have to write a paper on it but the experience was well worth it because he is hot in that intellectual, well-traveled, broody kind of way and he's so smart. *swoon* (I took four pages of notes including quotes...he was that interesting...*ahem* and all rugged to boot.)
3. The speaker/journalist was Christian Parenti who is a foreign correspondent for The Nation magazine and he's written a few books among other things. His most recent book is called 'The Freedom' which is about his travels to Iraq and meeting with the resistance and such.
4. I don't know why I numbered the paragraphs. He oozed intelligence and I just was honored to be in his presence. I feel all squealy. I had the hugest urge to treat him like a rock star and ask him to sign my boobs. But alas, I had to go take a test. Phooey.
EDIT: The best thing about him was that he was of course anti-war, thinks politicians in D.C. are an 'army of imbecile pundits', and you know, all the important qualities a man must have :)
