My Last Kid Nation Post...Maybe

Phish fan-in-training Michael, 14, had the quotation of the night yesterday. This mop-topped College Dems recruit was the winner of the Gold Star, a two-pound paper weight worth $20,000. The town-council selected him because he gets the water everyday, and fixed the pump when it froze, plus he's the dreamiest boy in all of Bonanza City. However, as down-to-earth as Michael is, his comments last night proved he's still just a short, hippy teenager with CNN.

When asked about morale at the camp and how life was in Kid Nation, Michael replied:

"At least I'm not in Ethiopia."

Right on Michael. You keep sticking it to the man. Check out the first signs of his political greatness.
