I can’t help it. I simply must share my amusement with the world. Isn’t Al Sharpton the most entertaining “politician” ever? This from the New York Times article:

Mr. Sharpton drew howls of laugher from the audience when a questioner asked him if Mr. Bush were deliberately lying [about WMD in Iraq].

“I think that if he did know he was lying and was lying, that’s even worse,” Mr. Sharpton said. “Clearly, he lied. Now if he is an unconscious liar, and doesn’t realize when he’s lying, then we’re really in trouble.

“You know, I’m a minister,” he continued. “Why do people lie? Because they’re liars.”

This stuff is great. Certainly isn’t politics as usual.

So, instead of writing my own essay, due Tuesday, I thought it would be nice of me to edit Yong’s essays. He’s applying to this Technology & Management Program that’s supposed to be really cool and stuff. Man, if I were him, I would totally not work that hard just to be considered for a minor, but I guess I’m just lazy. But according to Roanna, the laziest MIT student would be considered amazingly hard-working at Columbia…. Sad, especially since I’m pretty damned lazy.
