Many Alarmed, Disappointed, By Election Results
   Davis, CA- Many people were shocked and appalled yesterday to read the headlines with the results of the Special Election. "Covell Village 'X'ed Out" read the headline, with "Governor's Propositions Terminated" underneath. "It was clearly a major win for bad puns," said one sociology professor I'm totally making up, "puns have always been a favourite for headlines, but this was just too much." Experts disagreed, however, as to whether the Aggie had crossed the line by using the two puns in closs succession, or perhaps it was just the fact that the puns in question were extremely obvious and overplayed. Research has shown that any references to our governator "terminating" anything became the opposite of funny less than a week after he announced his candidacy for governor. Staff at Emosnail, however, have admitted that they were planning on making a joke post-election about being propositioned by the governor.

The Subtle Manipulation of Objectivity Goes Awry
   The other day the "Candidates Forum" for this quarter's ASUCD Senate candidates occured. I couldn't attend because I had class. I did however run into Elections Committee member "Hanging Chad" Van Schoelandt. He excitedly told me how I should have been there, because one of the questions he'd asked them was "how many cases the ASUCD Court had last year, and what is its role in Student Government." And acted like he expected me to be excited. I know that is a leading question, he knows that is a leading question, that is a leading question. Van Schoedlandt taught an Experimental College class on propaganda last year, he should know better. If the candidate knows the right answer, they know it is "none," and if their next question is the role of the aforementioned Court in the student government, they haven't been set up to answer in a very positive light. Candidate Konga Aguilara apparently answered that "The ASUCD Court has no role in the student government."
   And so I ask, why do you hate justice? Thats right, I'm talking to you, Hanging Chad Van Schoelandt.

Killer Fun
   So the Phi Alpha Delta pledglings are currently fighting to the death for our amusement. This game is ostensibly called Assassins. I find it quite amusing really. As such I decided to create an organization solely dedicated to putting on this game, outside of any other organization. As the first step, I decided to create a Facebook group for the organization. Once we have enough members in the group the plan is to have an actual meeting and plan from there. So join asap.

   Before creating the group I of course perused the existing groups a bit to see if there already existed such a club. As far as I could tell there did not. I did, however, find a number of interesting groups which I promptly joined: The Squirrels of Davis, The Flaskinators, Bacon Lovers, and I Voted For Stalin. I was alarmed to discover, and definitely did not join, the "Japanese Sex Association."
   One should also check out a group I'd previously created, The Society of Persons Who Have Been Grieviously Misquoted By The Aggie" (SMeGMA). Facebook lists other groups that share a lot of members with the group one is looking at. Other groups that have a lot of Smegma in them are the promotion groups of Senators Shively and Singh, the ASUCD group, and strangely the Christian frat has a lot of Smegma to it.

Picture of the Day

Kristy prepares to attack me when I come out of my door.

   03-10-29: Getting Screwed By the ASUCD Senate - The Senate Pro Tempore would later accuse me of alleging to have sent him an email that I never sent, followed a day later by apologizing because he found the email buried in his inbox, and eventually I think he'd prove himself to be a very likable person. His name was Raj Gupta. Also, some memes.
   03-10-30: State of the Court Address - And Elena suddenly reappears via comments.
   Two Years Ago Halloween: Halloween 2003 - The traditional party at the Loyola House, a story about a Ramen Trove (Ramen Trove II actually), and a story about my roommate Jill.
   Two Years Ago Last Friday: "When you start incinerating people, partial credit is not an option." - A nugget of wisdom from Professor Jenson, of my nuclear weapons class, justifying his no partial credit policy.
   Two Years Ago Last Sunday: Tiger Army Show, Croat Visits - My friends from Diedrichs back home, Croat (inequity) and Anna (beatlebake) visit for the Rancid, Tiger Army, Necromantix show put on by Entertainment Council. The show was of course the most awesome show of my life. I'm not big on autographs but I got the autographs of several members of Tiger Army and Necromantix, mainly because it was so easy. Also I of course showed my friends around time and went to hte bars on G Street for the first time in my life. ALSO, I relate an incident that illustrates the troll-like behaviour of then-ASUCD President Sara Henry. This would be part of a pattern of deteriorating relations culminating in her utter failure to impeach me, twice.
   Two Years Ago Tuesday: - Kristy and I become an official couple.
   Two Years Ago Today: "I'm sorry the concept of checks and balances is so displeasing to you" - RECENTLY DECLASSIFIED: an extremely saucy interchange of emails between President Sara Henry and myself. I recommend to her that she try to impeach me if she has such problems with me. She decides to take my advice.
