HAHAHA

I thought Wilson's annual crop of 20+ valedictorians was indicative of rampant grade inflation and easy classes, but compared with Lewis and Clark, Wilson is brutally intense. We had our first math test today. Our overall test score is the mean of our actual score on the test taken in class and our score on a copy of the same test that we are to complete at home. We were encouraged to work in groups. This is like Marchese all over again.

I realized that I haven't yet posted about this hurricane Katrina/Rita debaucle, and it would be a very appropriate subject for an anti-Bush rant. It occurred to me though that most people reading this blog already can guess all of my opinions on this matter, so it would be redundant to confirm all of your suspicions in a long-winded rant. Let me simply say now that they are all correct. However, I have become very interested in the economics of the disaster--a much more compelling aspect than my political opinions. The Economist had a very interesting article on how the reconstruction efforts will fit in with our current economic condition and Brobdignagian debt of the federal government. Combined with the war in Iraq, I am convinced that the reconstruction effort will only further the disequilibrium of credit and debt between the US and much of the rest of the world. If this problem isn't fixed soon, a cataclysmic correction of currencies and credit seems immanent.
