the two BEST states, thankyouverymuch
This morning I had my first lecture with Professor/Former Vice President of the United States Walter F. Mondale. He co-teaches the ENORMOUS class (which filled up in about three days) with a Political Science prof. When the latter introduced the class, I was immediately annoyed that our discussion of Constitutional Law began with Mondale's biography and about fifteen minutes of praise. Yes, Mondale was a great politician and is still an amazing advocate, speaker, and so on. No, it's not a class about a local hero. I started to worry that the whole semester would consist of this man sucking WFM's proverbial dick.
After the intro, though, WFM took the podium. He's a Golden Boy in Minnesota, a self-deprecating pillar of eternal reassurance. He didn't speak about his wisdom and experience, but from it. All of the work he's done whistles through his words and lends sincerity and credibility to pretty much everything he says. I'm taking three classes on Constitutional Law (yesssss, Federalist Papers) this semester and now I'm officially fired up, in a way that can usually only be done by Europe's "The Final Countdown."
