Oh, and I forgot to mention.

I reached the pinnacle of political geekdom this weekend.

I made a Federal Reserve joke.

I was already talking about politics (Edwards and his failing in South Carolina), and my mom was like *le sigh of not caring*, and I go "Well, call me Ben Bernanke, because I just dropped your interest rate."

This still makes me lol. I plan to use that as much as possible for the rest of my life.

He's the chairman of the Federal Reserve. So pretty much, when he says "Interest rates hereby go down", they do. On the other hand, he says "OMG, watch out, recession", people start jumping out of buildings because the market does whatever he says.

But exactly! The suprise was the best part, because who stands there and goes "Hey, let's make a joke about the Federal Reserve!"
