Must Be Very Upset That All Those Profits Towards World Peace Went Nowhere...
Ben Cohen, of Ben and Jerry's fame, has a nifty little parody of The Apprentice, Trump Fires Bush.
Oh, and since Ambimb mentions that I'm blogging a lot for someone with exams coming up, it's worth mentioning that when I'm writing on here most often, I'm ironically at my most productive. After all, I'm sitting in front of a computer, and that's productive, isn't it?

Sorry about calling you out like that. We all study in our own ways. I'm just jealous b/c for me it seems posting on the blog is a substitute for productivity, which is a very bad thing at this point. I'm glad to hear it's the opposite for you.
Note: "b/c" means "because," which I'm sure you know. But it reminds me of outline-speak -- the abbreviated language of study outlines. Everyone has their strange conventions, some of which are standard (K=contract, but sometimes apparently also "trial"?), others are just annoying. I read one outline today that replaced all instances of "is" with an equal sign (=). That doesn't even save space! Random...

Ambimb:
You didn't 'call me out': I assumed you were joking. :)
As for strange outline-writing skills: sometimes when I want to save space or abbreviate something, I use the Japanese characters from a term. Hence, 'constitution' can become '憲法,' or 'human rights' becomes '人権.' When I outline like this, of course, its usability becomes dramatically reduced for those who don't speak Japanese...

hah. in addition to pi and delta, i also use "ct" for court (ok, that doesn't save too much space really) and "Cs" for Congress in Con Law. and of course w/ (with), w/o (without), and b/w (between).
