For my new current events class, I gotta write up a paper about who I support for the presidential election and why based on where the candidates stand on the issues, forcing me to abandon my usual practice of judging them on thier character and gross generalizations.
And I know this is going to get me posting in the election threads with all the mean people.

you should write about an Independent and see how the teacher reacts

I would, but the teacher is cool and would totally embrace that kind of thing.

Now there's an idea.

When Mr. Barry said: "That mutha#$% b!tch set me up, ain't that a b!tch!!?", I think he was speaking very deeply about the role of women in our family structure today. Only with a proper maternal figure in every household can there be any hope for America's youth.

New rant: This is what happened two years ago and proves that my dad is a schmuck:
My dad wants to drive up to Philly. I then ask if he can get a first-party, Nintendo-made car charger for the drive for my DS. He says "OK, I'll get it when I come home from work."
What happens? "Ben, here's your charger." Right home from work.
It turns out to be a third-party car charger that doubles as a regular outlet charger. I then hold in my slightly pissed off feeling. I then plug the car end into the car charger. What happens?
THE CHARGER BARELY WORKS. What the hell is the point of a charger IF IT WON'T WORK 90% OF THE GODDAMN TIME?
So I plug the outlet. Same result. My dad is a schmuck for gimmicks. Just because a third-party car charger can double as a goddamn outlet charger doesn't mean it's the god of DS chargers. Because my dad always wants to wing it with the cheapest option available.
I then discuss it with him and telling him that I specifically wanted a Nintendo DS car charger that was made by Nintendo and was first-party (redundancy, but who cares). What's his reply?
"I thought you'd like it because it doubles as an outlet charger."
You've got to be frickin' kidding me. What a lame excuse. And what a schmuck.
And, sadly, I lost my original DS outlet charger. So I'm stuck with this hunk of plastic and metal. And they only carry DS Lite chargers over at GameStop. So yep. I can't play my DS because MY CHARGER IS A HUNK OF *blanketyblankblank*!
Oh yeah, my cousins also told me to leave my DS somewhere so I could get a DS Lite to solve my problem (comes with charger). They also explained that my cousin did that and got one. "My mom isn't as gullible as yours (my dad is VERY gullible [who brought the hunk of dogcrap?], but my mom is not). That might work with your parents, but with mine, they won't get me one."
Seriously. Some of them make me look mature.

Actually, I specified to get one made by Nintendo. I explained the meaning quite well.
