I watch Obama giving his stump speech, for the, what, thousandth time? I mean, really, a THOUSAND TIMES. I joke about my lack of patience with the “undecided voter.” But this is the reason he is to be wondered at. To be able to say this, for the thousandth time, and not just scream (thank you, again, Dr. Dean) at people to let him get to work.

So I just think, in a few days, he won’t have to go through this circus any more.

Happy Dumb Evil Driven

AG reminded me, this morning, of our collegiate-era system for classifying behavior patterns. It was based on the Keirsey-Bates schema of

Introvert / Extrovert
Sensing / Feeling
Intuitive / Rational

This new system was, itself, outwardly directed. “I don’t care about you or me. But what about that guy over there? What’s his deal?”

Smart / Dumb
Good / Evil
Driven / Lazy.
