Episode 135

1. On a scale of one to ten, with ten being very pleased/enthusiastic and one being very unhappy/depressed, how would you rate your feelings on Democrats taking control of Congress?

I'm still at about 12 on that scale, even this many days away! This was the first year where I sat and watched the returns on the edge of my seat, flipping back and forth between TV and the net.

2. The Democrats have been, naturally, very critical of the Bush administration and the course the country has taken. How effectively do you believe that they can turn things around by the 2008 election?

I don't have high expectations, really. I do hope they don't manage to ball things up; I'd like to see a Democrat back in the White House after Bush.

3. What would you rather have for breakfast: a) Ham & eggs with toast b) Grits and sausage c) Pancakes and syrup

No grits; ick. I'd probably go with ham & eggs. I love pancakes but the syrup messes me up, and they wouldn't fill me up for long.

4. Take the quiz: Are you too negative?

Before I even take the test, I have to say that, based on this past week, that there's no earthly way that I can be too negative.

Are you too negative?
Moderate You know that life is about how you look at it. You see the positive and negative in every situation and this gives you a clearheadedness that others (especialy your friends) admire and seek. You have a balanced world-view that is sometimes negative, sometimes positive, but always right-on.

Well, that's what I think, but I'm that's certainly NOT the feedback I got this week.

5. How likely are you to change your view of things based on your answer?

Not at all.

6. You are serving as a juror in a murder trial. The defense team is claiming that a woman killed her own child while insane. As a juror, would you consider it critical information to know how soon she might be "back on the street" if found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity, or would this have no bearing on your verdict?

I'm not sure. I suspect it wouldn't matter since I don't think anyone could give a reliable answer.
