Ode to the California Aggie

[aggienaut]

Dear the California Aggie Newspaper,

   Our court hearing today had record attendance by important people in ASUCD. It was hotly debated and is considered by many to be an important case for ASUCD. Unfortunately, one important person was prominantly missing: an Aggie reporter.
   We miss you the California Aggie, and we would like to give our relationship another chance. It is true that we've both said harsh things in the past, and maybe we took things too personally, but I really valued our relationship and don't want it to end this way.
   We used to be such a team! Remember the good old days when together we gave the ASUCD Senate the shellacking of a lifetime when they tried to impeach me? Now they try to impeach me and you pretend you don't even know me the California Aggie! And you've pointedly ignored my last several hearings or anything else Court related, ever since that Laabs v Stone case.
   I didn't mean for you to take it like that. Its not you, its me! Can't we still at least be friends?
   You say you just need some space (from ASUCD), and I respect that. Personally I think the Aggie should be free from ASUCD intervention, but its not my place to do anything about that.
   I don't care what everyone else says, I think your long flowing URLs are beautiful, and your opinion polls in which one can vote as many times as they like if they turn off cookies, they show big personality.

   And so, the California Aggie, I beseech thee, let us go back to the good old days when you'd fondly reminisce about my hearings two days later on page six; when you'd playfully reconstruct my quotes to humorously misleading effect; when I'd wake up at 8am on Sunday mornings to the beautiful sound of your thousand voices in the newsroom over the phone, while I blearily tried to give a half intelligent quote about something.
   I miss you the California Aggie, must you really continue to ignore me?

WHY DO YOU ALWAYS WORK IN SECRECY

Dear The California Aggie,

I'm sorry about our strained relationship, but I just was trying to help you out. You know that Daniel was bad for you. I was just trying to help you realize that. I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, I was just trying to help you out of a bad relationship.

ASUCD is your family -- we may not always get along, but we love you anyway. We support each other: you cover our events, and we give you lots of scandals to write stories about. Plus, you know how to take care of yourself, unlike some of your unit relatives.

And you know what, you're the best student newspaper in the UC System. Sure, you always know how to quote the least applicable things that we say, but you're not that bad. Compared to the obvious bias of the Daily Bruin or the weekly publishing of City on a Hill Press (they don't even know what their student government does), you're definitely number one.

So keep up the good work, and I hope we can get along better soon. I miss talking with you, can we be friends again?

If to the to Brian 'personally' as he says, make sure you do it in the spirit of the brown act.

Quite amusing. Perhaps I'll post my "notes" during the hearing, they'll be far more entertaining than an Aggie article.

I began composing this in my head shortly after we got out from the hearing while I was on my way home. (=

O= brilliant! June 1st. I proposed "Blog through June!" as an alternative title to "30 in 30" but it didn't stick.
