Some Politics

[brynndragon]

Two things:

The first is, I got my wish. From the sounds of it, Obama went with "brilliant and mentored by Larry Summers, but without the need to piss people off just to watch the fireworks" (or as Skaven noted, "like popetom", assuming he was also a brilliant economist). That sounds good to me - much as I like popetom I don't think I'd make him the closest thing to "in charge of the economy" that we've got ;P.

The second is, I've minorly argued over with a few folks over whether Obama is a Boomer or a GenXer. Apparently there's something in the middle - Generation Jones. After waiting patiently to be noticed at all, it's their turn to shine.

Given other circumstances I would agree with you.

But considering the finical mess we are currently in I'm betting I could do at least as well as the motherfuckers[1] who got us here.

Hurm. We have a name now. I always felt that we were only Xers or Boomers when it was convenient to label us so.

cool. I didn't know I was part of a named generation.

And that the President-elect is also a part of it.
