Bobby JindalCongratulations to Piyush “Bobby” Jindal (Republican) who was sworn in today as Governor of Louisiana, the nation’s first Indian-American governor!

Regardless of his political leanings, can I just say “WOW” about this guy?! Elected as governor at the ripe old age of 35. Sheesh. I feel like such a freakin’ underachiever now!

More trivia about Bobby Jindal from his website:

Bobby was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana on June 10, 1971.

Bobby graduated from Baton Rouge High School at the age of 16. He later attended Brown University where he graduated with honors in both biology and public policy.

He then attended Oxford University as a Rhodes Scholar, and received his graduate degree in 1994.

Prior to being elected governor, Bobby was first elected to Congress in 2004, and was re-elected to a second term in 2006.

Bobby’s gubernatorial campaign promised to clean up the corrupt image of the state and I wish him well in his efforts as governor.

RANDOM:
According to Wikipedia:

According to family lore, Jindal adopted the name Bobby after watching The Brady Bunch television program at age four.

About jozjozjoz

jozjozjoz is a taiwanese-american gal who lives and blogs underneath the hollywood sign and who doesn’t clean her fishtank unless the fish starts to do the backstroke. she is also able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but cannot stop from bumping into door handles, cabinet doors, and anything else that protrudes or has a sharp edge. she does not run with scissors for this same reason. she can pet the fur off a dog but don’t ask her to go anywhere near a horse. or a moth. or a roach. her dealings with L.A.’s finest (aka the parking violations department) are legend, as are her giant sneezes. Other than the two too many joz’s, jozjozjoz is a perfectly normal, relatively sane individual who defies the odds, reaches for the stars, and carries moonbeams home in a jar. She’d rather be a fish… but not in her own dirty fishtank. http://www.jozjozjoz.com
