John F. Kennedy, who was the President of the United States from 1960-1963, is my idol; an icon of truth. Even while in a position of absolute power, he had the guts to say in a State of the Union address that the government is under the control of "evil people" and that he was going to work towards getting these people out of power.

Well, my replacement 360 just showed up at 3DR via UPS. It still bugs me that the repair facility was 8.2 miles from 3DR HQ, and I couldn't take it there myself. Still, from the time out the door to back in my hands was 7 days, that's really not that bad, all things considering.
