OK, enough of the serious stuff.
First of all, this is my new favorite website:
CRS Reports From the Department of State
I *so* want to work for those guys. I want to be a research badass in a duster coat and mirrorshades, two-fisting books as my enemies go down in a hail of information. I wonder if they take philosophers with delusions of grandeur as interns.
Well, OK, I guess that was sorta serious, in addition to being absurd.
I'm trying to be less so.
I'd be helped if my friends would get their act together on their D&D characters so we could start the game. As Dean's poll numbers go down, I find my need to escape reality intensifying.
Anyway, I was thinking (read: procrastinating) and realized that I don't know what's supposed to be on my fav SGs list.
The problem is, I know what my friends list is for: it gives me one-stop shopping for people's journals that I like reading.
But what is my SG list for? Obviously, it makes some sort of statement about me. But what? Is it supposed to be the SGs that I find most physically attractive? Or the ones I think are the coolest people, say? Those two things overlap and inter-influence somewhat, but they're not the same. Is it unutterably rude to not have the one SG you're 'friends' with on your fav list (sorry, Abra)? What do other people think the significance of who is on the fav list is?
As usual, I seem to be overthinking things.
Addendum: gratuitous reference to SaintAshlar
Addendum: Don't get me wrong, I'll vote for Kerry in a second if he's the nom, but someone else agrees with my analysis of Kerry's 'electability.'

Politicians, lock up your daughters.
And for articles to post, it can be on whatever moves you. I'm looking to do alot of differnet topics and have a lot of different points of view. Since your apply to state department, I assume you know a thing or two about IR that you might want to talk about. Or maybe a comparison between Canadian and US politics, since you lived in Montreal.
I'm not looking for anything longer than 5 pages, all I ask is that you cite a few refrences.
