Quote:
"Can you imagine a speech given by president Bush that would convince you that he has had a change of heart and could actually be the president of your dreams? It is all too easy to criticize our president and his administration. Life changing events (often of the extremely painful variety) force us to reevaluate our values and actions. What if something like this happened to our president. What if he were humbled in some way which caused a profound change in his outlook on life and his role as the leader of our country - turning the aggressive posturing of an all-attack-all-the-time leader into a gentler, wiser soul determined to demonstrate the power of honesty and vulnerability."

With this idea in mind I put out an open call for people to write speeches for President Bush, offering a $50 cash prize.

A group of five students, ages 7-10, from Rooftop Elementary in San Francisco accepted the challenge. Upon receiving their humorous and thoughtful contributions I had the speeches recorded by Jim Meskimen, a professional impersonator based in Los Angeles. The prize money was used to throw a cake party for the kids and their classmates.

copy/paste the following in your browser navigation bar(no it won't pop up incessant windows or do something equally annoying/hard to get rid of):

javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24;x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length;function A(){for(i=0; i<DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style;DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5;DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++ }setInterval('A()',5); void(0)

I've managed to get all but the 2nd, and 5th (though the 8th was with a bit of help). Anyone want to share notes?

Edit: Got number 14.

14 just sucks because not only does it not at all look like what they intended but what it does look like does absolutely nothing to narrow it down.

I am sad however that i didn't get the one with the markers(9 -> R.D.). But oh well at least a lot of the others were easy.

So, I gave up and googled the answers. I had #5 right but didn't fit their strident answer rules (though I'm pretty sure I had typed it exactly at one point or another)...and I don't think I know anyone who bothered to see #2. So...in the end 19/20.

For those who want the answers, here are the answers in IMDB form for those who don't want spoilers.

Don't know how we didn't find this before but for those who want to get some Catan (with expansion) or Carcasonne practice in:
http://games.asobrain.com/
A fairly decent interface for the games (though I'm always going to complain about the colors) and both bot games and pvp matches. Sign up (freely) at your peril!
