...order to help pin down these policy-averse politicians populating the worldwide muddle of the middle, TIME Daily has developed six non-mutually exclusive archetypes to which every middle-grounder worth his or her salt will strive to conform ?- and then matched them with some of the politicians practicing the centrist art today...

I had a lot of idle time at my job as a short-order cook on a ferry in Long Island Sound, enough to mull over the stories I had heard of people coming to college and changing their names.
