How Rare IS Your Personality Type?

This is another one of those fun quizzes from blogthings.com. It may explain why I am writing this particular kind of blog. Comedy, Satire, Jokes, Commentary. Seems to check out. Now I should point out that this is based on 4 questions with only two responses each. Hardly a sophisticated test. But I only took it once.

What did yours say. I think if you paste the code into comments with your response it will show the whole thing. Why not try. I will look for some other fun ones. They at least make interesting posts. Later I may go back and try different answers, if I can remember what I said the first time, but for now I would rather try some more quizzes.

What's Your Celtic Horoscope Sign?

What? A Celtic Horoscope Sign? What's that?

Well, the Celts had their own study of astronomy and the stars reflecting their own religious beliefs which were much more earth centered. This meant that their signs were more earth and nature centered and had different meanings that what we consider the "traditional" horoscope signs of Scorpio, Libra, Cancer, Leo, etc.

I am not an expert on these systems, that is about the extent of my knowledge. But you might have fun going to the blogthings.com website and taking this quiz. Find out your own sign and what it means.

Does it apply to you. I think mine is pretty darn close. Report back if you think yours is too!


You Are A Chestnut Tree

You are a born diplomat with a well developed sense of justice.
And even though you're impressive and intimidating, you're also fun to be around.
You can be irritated easily, and you sometimes act superior.
Nevertheless, you are sensitive of others feelings and very loyal.
Sometimes you feel misunderstood and are fiercely close to those who know you best.

Kids Say the Darndest Things: A Peek Into the Mind of a 2nd Grader Via His U.S. Government Mind Map

Share

Teaching is undoubtedly the hardest job in the universe. And while things have gotten better in the past few years IMHO, this can be especially true in the Chicago Public Schools. But in any school system kids can be a trial, even a kind of one year sentence, unless the teacher and parents work together creatively using the best new methods to get the minds of young students to blossom.

And so it was that a teacher acquaintance of mine had her second graders work on a Government "Mind Map" this week. For those of you who were educated before the era of mind maps hit the schools, a mind map is a graphic organizer about a topic, such as"Government" where a student puts down ideas about the main concept with pictures and labels, then tries to connect them with lines, for those that relate to each other. At the Second Grade level those lines might only connect to the central topic, but they could also connect to related topics elsewhere on the map. You can also connect ideas by proximity, by placing each other close to each other on the map.

For example, the word "government" might appear in the middle, and pictures of different images related to government might appear all around the page.

This teacher saw lots of examples that did not surprise her, the flag, the White House, a Post Office, A Police Car, a Bald Eagle, A Blad Ealge (this was a second grade assignment after all), the complete text of the pledge of allegiance to the flag, "the mayor" (we just had a mayoral election - Daley won again - no surprise, the city still works), badges, a tank or two, a library, the school, perhaps a few police police cars, the "governor" portrayed as a woman wearing beads - what this says about Rob Blagojevich I can't begin to say, and a teacher, with a pretty good facsimile of the teacher in question.

So where's the humor you say?

Right next to the White House on one mind map was a picture of --

-- a scooter.

When the teacher, trying really hard not to laugh asked the boy, why he had put a "scooter", wheels and all on his mind map he said, "I'm not sure, I've been hearing a lot about a scooter and the President on the news lately. Does he have a son?"

I swear this is a true story. I have seen the mind map with my own eyes. I cannot identify the child who is a minor, I wonder how many other 2nd graders would put a scooter on their own mind maps?

Priesciently, I had made a scooter joke to this same teacher the day before when the mind map assignment topic was brought up.

When this story came out I felt like king of the uninverse.

It could only have been better had the brilliant little rascal had put the scooter behind bars, like in a bicycle rack. But surely that would have been too much to ask for.

Scooter Libby: Sliced Pineapple or Strained Peas?

Share

Quick RSS Subscription Links
The nice thing about W's administration is that my young memories of Nixon have schooled me insofar as just what to expect. If Scooter's conviction holds up, and it seems that this conviction has, er, wheels, then "Have we only just begun" to dig?

I do think more highly of Bush than Nixon, BTW. In intro to psychology they referred to two personality types that seemed to be direct opposites - anal retentives and anal expulsives. I am certain that these are not the correct technical term. That class was almost 3 (shudder) decades ago..

Tricky Dicky Nicky was the classic AR and W might be seen as a AE - at least in the outgoing get it all out there sense. What the meaning of "it" is, I leave to you.

So here we are again, a very senior Republican Official is going to jail for essentially using black bag kind of tactics to get the administration's way. This time actually, it seems, potentially risking the safety of CIA assets along the way. This goes a lot deeper than paltry break-in style panty-raids at the Watergate.

Its time for the question to be asked: D? W? What did you know and when did you know it and was Arnuhld in the loop?

Have further White House souces been implicated or have they just been foisted off on travel junkets to Iraq with Red Queen in exile Catherine Coulter. Is she truly going to Britain just so she can light up a fag* when she wants one?

*cigarette

Can it be true? Can Americans be waking up and deciding that they have had enough with Rough Limbaugh?

Or is there a new trend forming just because Robin Williams and Jennifer Hudson would really make a sizzlin' Presidential and Vice-Presidential Pairing.

A plus, we get all those extra National Anthems for free!

I really do hate to see anyone go to jail. I suspect that if Scooter does any time at all it will be in Club Martha Stewart, recently redecorated in lime, mango and casaba. But one never knows.

Its not nice to play with national security. Perhaps there will be a short stay at Guantanamera Bay first.
