No, Blair Waldorf has not worn cat ears, they are decidedly not the new headband trend. I mean dress up every day except not as a slutty sexy cat, but as the person you want to be seen as. Personal style, aka the clothes you wear, mater, a lot. People judge you based on the way you look, and while I don’t advocate judging based on what type of body is underneath the clothes, I am offering a ringing endorsement to judge or more importantly make inferences about people based on what they decide to put on their body.

The website politicalcompass.org has mapped out the 2012 presidential candidates on its grid based on all elements of their policy, and the results should horrify anyone who bothers to look. On the organization’s graph of political positions, they have a scale of the political “left” and the political “right” on the x-axis and authoritarian and libertarian on the y-axis. On the graph, the points representing Obama and Romney nearly overlap, which should send a strong message to voters; whatever happens this election cycle, nothing is going to change. The policies advocated for by the executive of the United States, for all practical purposes, will be nearly identical. Also, because both candidates represent right-of-center authoritarian viewpoints, with Romney being a smidgen more right and more authoritarian than Obama, civil rights activists, libertarians and other espousers of freedom should be worried.
