If you would be so kind, ask me the seven questions below. Just copy and paste them into a comment, replace the blanks with anything you want--personal, silly, surreal (e.g. 3. Donkeys or sandcastles and why?), or deep--and I'll answer honestly as I can! Then post this in your own LJ and see what kind of things people want to ask you!1. What do you

1. What do you think of the Mitchell report?

2. When did you last sleep in?

3. Theater or movies and why?

4. What did you do last Friday?

5. What's your favorite example of stupidity?

6. How would you first act if you became grand dictator of the United States?

7. Who would you most like to feed truth serum to?

1. Nothing in the Mitchell report surprised me. I was more surprised by who didn't get named--no one in particular, just that there weren't even more.
   
2. Sunday.
   
3. Movies, although I like theater a lot. There's just fewer explosions in theater.
   
4. Drove to our condo on the Cape, drank three manhattans and watched Dr. Who.
   
5. Favorite? There is nothing about stupidity that I like. Okay, how about this: There is such a thing as a stupid question. A stupid question is the one you've asked for the third time, hoping the answer will change.
   
6. My first words would be, "Oh, crap."
   
7. Tough one. Maybe Ralph Nader, to see if he in fact believes the shit that comes out of his mouth.

ha, number 5 is completely accurate. i always wonder what possesses people to think that if they keep asking they will suddenly and magically get the answer they're looking for. and with regard to 7 - i saw a quote the other day, can't think from whom - some democratic consultant type - that said: "It's hard to believe, I know, but there is now an entire generation of 20- and 30-something Americans who don't know that Ralph Nader wasn't always a total asshole." which i think sums things up pretty effectively.

[filenotch]

Oh, I think he was always an asshole. He was just our asshole, at least in results.

[kudra2324]

i suppose that's true. but i do wonder whether a) he was always this much of a megalomaniac, and b) he always seemed to be this self-serving. because it's hard to see that there are any issues he's really trying to talk about; this whole song and dance seems to be only about ralph nader at this point, and not about anything ralph nader is doing or plans to do.
