aggienaut | Senate Finds Chief Justice to have Jedi Powers

   Last night the ASUCD Senate formally concluded that Chief Justice Fricke has jedi powers. Don't expect to see an ASUCD Jedi Council being set up any time soon however -- the Senate seems to think that Fricke uses his powers for evil.

   Specifically, the Senate found that ASUCD Supreme Court Chief Justice Kris Fricke managed to convince nine Internal Affairs Commissioners and twelve senators that a two line bill meant something contradictory to its actual content. To guard against the future abuse of such Jedi mind tricks, they consequently eliminated the ability of Chief Justice Fricke and the other justices to author legislation on anything other than the Court.

   Fricke's official statement on the legislation can be found here.

Swearing at the President
   Also yesterday, before I was found to have Jedi powers, I swore in ASUCD President Caliph Assagai and Vice President Darnell Holloway. Their first act was to allow the recycling unit to make a presentation about Administration (non-ASUCD) plans to can their program.
   Gallagher managed to make one of the few farewell speeches I've ever seen get booed, after he characterized choice voting as "a disease which is spreading from universities, which it is my personal goal to squash."

In Other News: Lebanese Prime Minister Omar Karami has been reappointed by parliament ten days after his (second) resignation. Its just not easy very easy to leave office these days is it.

Picture of the Day - guess where this is:

   Where is this pleasant idyllic location you ask? It is the top of the UCD Landfill. Its ominiously squishy up there.

Shady Quote of the Day
amazonjedimaster: and i am sure that rumour mills already went around that Kris is one of the reasons why i resigned
PrzemekP: oh, I made sure of that too
   Incidently, I'm making sure that everyone knows that the real reason Catherine resigned is because SPAC told her she couldn't remain the leader of MUN and not be on the SPAC forms as the leader; rather than sign the forms, she resigned. Is it really so bad to be officially listed? (note also, this isn't a complaint I raised with SPAC) It doesn't take the skills of a Jedi to fight the influence of the dark side in MUN.
   PS: There's about to be another resignation.

is it weird i recognized where the picture was? i don't know.

the grass is so lush and healthy up there. I didn't know what it was till I got on top and looked around. Then I was like "wait a minute..."

it's kind of ridiculous.

I was like.. "why's there a random oblong hillock over here" It would be pretty nice if it weren't so squishy.

Kalen Gallagher: Building a Legacy by Being a Tremendous Douche since 19whatever.

You should have heard Rob Roy's Kris Fricke impersination.

Kris Fricke impression.. oh dear.

I read your letter for you Kris.

Although I voted to pass Thomas' bill I just wanted to let you know that, seeing as the override was not possible, if I didn't vote yes then the court could not write any leg whatsoever.

But now, I believe you can write leg saying that you can write on everything and I'll introduce it. And if it passes then you can get the power you would of had, had Kalen not vetoed the original bill.

..oh, and when I read your letter I did try to impersonate you.

You'll have to show me this impersonation some time.

In the mean time I'm just going to try to be optimistic about it and concentrate on the fact that the Senate has found I have mind controlling powers of persuasion.

the swedish class is having an online chat on AIM tomorrow at 4 pm to finish the play. don't forget.

make sure someone IMs me or something.

Kris, could you make the shadyness polls a regular thing? I plan to make a graph of it on daviswiki.

On the issue of MUNgate, the Students for an Orwellian Society will be issuing an official position in the form of agitprop soonwise. Stay tuned, everyone.

Yeah, I plan on doing shadyness polls on a weekly basis. I've hit once a week for four weeks now, unfortunately I think the day has varied slightly, but mostly I seem to get around to it on Tuesdays.

I think wikipolling should be in the future plans of the wiki somewhere. Especially one feature livejournal polls don't allow: asking people to vote for things with choice voting!

Awesome, orsoc interest in mungate is a boon to the forces of plusgood that I had not anticipated.

I certainly hope that your instructors are under your Jedi influence as well....

new strategy: go into professor's office hours and tell them outright "my paper is the most awesome paper you've ever seen."

lol, I like how you were scrambling for 5 minutes looking for the oath of office before swearing them in. Third time is supposed to be a charm, not a challenge :P

Its supposed to be written on a form which they sign after swearing in. The paper was not present. I've always assumed it was the job of whomever plans the Senate meeting (the outgoing VP) to get all that in order.
