NPR had a field day with it, though.

Yeah - I don't know where the heck he was going with that. I guess it was his "attempt" at linking the drug education/testing at schools and the fact that kids look up to athletes that participate in steriod use.

What I did laugh at was the token shot of Tom Brady. While I will never complain because I think that he is a FOX, that shot of him was totally out of left field (or right field, for those of you of the liberal persuation

).

He started talking about baseball, football, etc. and then started yapping away about performance enhancing drugs, calling on professional sports franchise owners to help put a stop to the use of them.

So essentially, I should get some sort of government job and I'll be taken care of for the rest of my life.

I almost spit my Diet Coke out when he said those words.

Actually, I've been heavily pondering about whether or not I should change my major to political science.

I got it now!!!

I think he was drawing an analogy to the professional, collegiate, and Olympic atheletes who cheated by using sterioids. Many kids do look up to atheletes and steriods are illegal but sadly prevelent in our schools.

DON'T DO IT. That is all it gets you . . . B.S.

This was my undergrad major (by the way, all you liberals would have loved my ultra left wing political science prof). After two years of trying to find a decent paying job, I just gave up and went back to school to get my law degree.

Now, instead of $15,000 in student loans, I have about SIX TIMES that amount.

Yeah, that's the thing I'm worried about: job prospects.

It's always been my dream to have a job in politics, though, ever since I was about ten.

I know student loans suck

Fortunately, mine are at like 2.25% interest so it does not make sense to pay them off.

Don't. Seriously. Unless you want to be a lawyer, it tends to be really tedious. I'm more into the foreign aspect of politics which I find to be a lot more fascinating than the cat and mouse game (or should I say elephant and donkey) that American politics tends to be.

I had no idea you were in college.

Yup.

I live for both: foreign affairs and domestic issues.

PS: I'm watching Clark on TV right now and, man, he needs to do some manscaping on those brows, folks!

Is he on Nightline?

Well, although it's quite possible for you to be older and in college, I thought you were in your 40s

Now? I'm thinking you're my age...lol
