This article isn't bad at all, I'm actually learning about him @_@But it’s not just his brilliant political mind that has seduced people. Hamilton was a slender, fair-skinned, auburn-haired man with a chiseled jaw and azure eyes so alluring that Massachusetts representative Fisher Ames once called them “eminently beautiful.” Henry Cabot Lodge described him as “very attractive,” while a flustered Abigail Adams once wrote to her husband that Hamilton represented “lasciviousness itself.” Or, as a woman named Breanna Lynn more recently put it on Facebook (FB), “I’d tap that.”
Lynn posted this message on the Facebook group “Alexander Hamilton Was the Foxiest of the Federalists,” just one of a string of Hamilton fan pages that have cropped up on the social network. Others have names such as: “I love Alexander Hamilton,” “Alexander Hamilton … The Hotness Never Dies,” “Are you Treasurer Sexy?” and “Alexander Hamilton: Too Hot For Your Wallet.” There are Tumblrs, Twitter accounts, and fan fiction communities dedicated to the patron saint of Wall Street. A year ago, Rod Blagojevich admitted to having “a man crush” on him.
OMG SHE IS AWESOME.He was also deeply flawed—in a cool, brooding, James Dean kind of way. Hamilton developed a reputation as a prolific and unforgiving polemicist, and he never learned to pull his punches, earning as many enemies as he did followers. An affair with a married woman—whose husband successfully blackmailed Hamilton, who was also married—nearly ruined his career. Jefferson disliked him. Adams downright despised him. And after enduring a series of private and public insults, Aaron Burr killed him.
“He was sort of the bad-boy alternative to the Washingtons and Jeffersons in history class,” says Julia Cooperman, 22, a recent graduate of University of Southern California and a “Foxiest of the Federalists” Facebook group member. Cooperman says her Hamilton infatuation began in eighth grade. While other girls fawned over Zac Efron or the Jonas Brothers, she founded an after-school club called the Hamiltonians, where she and her friends discussed 18th century American history—and gushed over how cute Alexander Hamilton was. “We had a Mister Hamiltonian Pageant, where we made the four guys in the club compete to see who most embodied the Hamiltonian ideal,” she says. In other words, who looked the best in a wig.
When I was working at Barnes and Nobel, I saw a coworker sit back and intentionally unravel an entire roll of discount stickers... I told him I'd clean it up and he should do something else and then he said he had it under control and spent the next half hour or so cleaning up the mess he made.

I know the feeling, I've stopped listening to the radio because it's mostly election nonsense.Iskanderia wrote:I've been mostly avoiding the internet for weeks and I plan to continue to until the election is over
I don't even know how it would be even that simple to decide right now for myself. I dislike Obama, but I'm not in love with Romney either. And some of the issues themselves are not so easy to decide on (I had a long talk with Iska about this). I think that even though I hate Obama I might VOTE for him for a couple of reasons, only because it'll be better than whatever Romney will do, but I'm dying just thinking about actually making that choice. For me it just comes to how they're deciding on issues important to me, and they both end up having things I like and things I don't. So.... where does that leave meflowersofnight wrote:I can't believe there's anyone left undecided at this point. Doesn't everyone already have a pretty decent idea of who the candidates are and what they'd do if they were elected?
I guess there is that option, but I think I know who I'm going to vote for now XD I don't think I'll be able to fully believe in anyone ever though, unless they were my perfect candidate, but I have to make some concessions right now or then I'd never vote. I guess the principle for me is in the voting itself? I also need to legitimize this liberal democracy by taking part in elections.Iskanderia wrote:There's another option: you could refuse to vote for either of them! *gasp* Shocking, I know. People act like it's a cardinal sin to not vote, but I refuse to be bullied into voting for someone I don't fully believe in just because they are the lesser of two evils. It's a matter of principle for me. I plan on voting for some of our local seats but I'm abstaining from voting for president.
I think that's what bothered me the most, especially with all the comparisons to MLK Jr, how we're going to accomplish 'the dream' with Obama. How everything will 'change' with Obama. All that stuff is a lot more toned down now and I'm glad. *shrugs*(which reminds me of how there was such a huge push to get young people and minorities to vote in the last election. It wasn't because people cared about making sure these groups had their voices heard - it was because they knew that most minorities and young people were likely to vote for Obama)
LOL AL SHARPTON.And MSNBC's depression and denial over Obama's performance at the debate: http://www.ijreview.com/2012/10/18419-hilarious-snl-mocks-msnbcs-debate-analysis/
I'm all in favor of picking the lesser of two evils. If I didn't, I'd never vote at all.Iskanderia wrote:I refuse to be bullied into voting for someone I don't fully believe in just because they are the lesser of two evils.
