Supposed to be working on FAFSA’s for Eamonn and Brett today. Thought I’d post this clip of Congressman Anthony Weiner (D-NY) for my liberal followers who will certainly get a grin from it. Seriously, I am really liking this guy more and more.

The Pierly/Redford Dissociative Affect Diagnostic

My diagnosis (?):

Your power comes from an ability to sense how things might be and to proclaim this possibility with a great force and willingness to act. You have a tendency to be romantic, and can be an idealist. This sense of how the world can be is often expressed with self-deprecatory humor. Because of your need to address the immediacy of the moment, you may not think things through to their logical end, relying instead on a feeling for how a situation SHOULD end.  You need to be liked and appreciated by others, although your attention often wanders. Sometimes you neglect old friends in favor of a new or exciting acquaintance. You have a real difficulty being alone.  Often you will seem to know how to handle a situation without exactly knowing HOW you know this. Your thoughts are often shallow. While in the excitement of the moment you can obsess about a task at hand. If it should become rote and unexciting, however, it can be dropped just as quickly.
