Wow! This is an interesting idea! If you’re disillusioned over the coming Presidential election in the same way that I am, it’s probably because you’re A) in a state like Indiana that’s going to go Bush whether you like it or not, thus negating your vote for Gore, or B) you’re in a swing state and would like to vote for Nader, but you’re worried that you’re helping Bush win the overall election. Now you can do something about it! Voteswap 2000 matches up people in “locked-in” states with those in swing states, so the swing vote can go to Gore and the meaningless vote can go to Nader. Thus Al wins and Ralph gets his 5%. It sounds like a win-win situation!
Overtime?!
ND wins in OVERTIME? I can’t believe it. Not only did we avenge 1996’s OT loss to Air Force, we did it with an option reverse! That’s TOTALLY a Weasel Football play (and shout out)! I like Bob’s quote about the final minutes of regulation play (when ND had to block a 28-yard field goal to force OT): “Before the kick, I was so calm, I almost passed out.” HA!

Friday Fun Time
Friday Fun Time. White Cheerleader Epiphanies!” My favorite is: “Sometimes after lunch, when I go to brush and floss in the girls washroom, there are these druggie girls smoking drugs in there. I always say hi, but they never say hi back or anything. I think they must be very sad all the time. I’ll bet that if someone wrote a really good cheer for them, they would stop being such drugged-out sluts.”
Hey Pat!
Mad shout outs to Pat McDonald!
Exactly
Here’s a great editorial piece about why the people protesting capital punishment at the Lieberman talk were just wrong, wrong, wrong. (Well, okay, they’re only “wrong” if they were supporting Bush. Which is what I said yesterday.)
Buchanan??
Another freakin’ idiot wrote to the Observer to say that Bush is going to win in Indiana anyway, so everybody should vote Buchanan. People like this scare me. And do people off-campus really think that their crazy-ass letters are going to have an effect on our student body? Jeez, I hope not.
The Grotto
Apparently the small, 50¢ candles were a fire hazard, so they’ve been removed from the Grotto. Only the $2 ones left now…
Nice season, fellas.
To the Mets: It was a good run, boys. You’ll get ’em next year. Oh, and Roger Clemens: You’re still a big fat bastard. 🙂
To clarify
Kel misread my “women playing sports” blurb, so I figure you might too. Basically I’m not arguing the fact that women are physically at a disadvantage when it comes to competing with men. What I am saying is that it’s not true that therefore “every man is better than every woman.” Just because I can’t compete with a college football player doesn’t mean that somewhere there’s not a tall girl (we even have one on the Irish Guard, for God’s sake!) who works out a lot who could run circles around a defensive back. What do you think? E-mail me to discuss.
