More politics

GRRR. More Election News: “Gov. Bush will win on issues. The rest of it is static,” says Bush campaign spokesman Tucker Eskew. Uh-huh. Right. Of course, that isn’t stopping the Republicans from airing pro-Nader ads in Wisconsin, Washington, and Oregon in the hopes that Democrats will defect to the Green Party. That pisses me off. Bastards.

Tatts made legal

Massachusetts finally made tattooing legal! This is relevant because sophomore year when we all went to Eileen’s house in Boston for Spring Break, I wanted to get one (a tattoo) to commemorate my 20th birthday and we had to go to Connecticut to find a parlor. Interesting side note: Liz videotaped the entire process (while eating my Big Mac), but I’ve never actually seen the tape. Actually, though, I suppose seeing my big white ass slung over a chair while some guy tattoos the Korean word for “rite of passage” above my bum wouldn’t be that exciting.

Voteswap

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.”
