It's been busy lately.  Here is why I am disgusted and not writing much lately.  This should be a fitting analogy of the gimme gimme gimme election.  JFK's quote is now turned on it's head:  Ask what your country can do for you, not what you can do for your country.  To be fair Obama and Congress people are much more guilty of this than McCain but... even my guy is far from perfect.

Candidate 1: I promise that if I am elected we will get vending machines in the field house, the cafeteria and the senior lounge.  These are much needed and will provide nutritional relief for our growing student body.  As a growing first semester freshman I can tell you that change is needed.

Candidate 2: I promise that if I am elected we will get vending machines in the field house and the cafeteria.  I also promise that filet mignon and champagne will be served at lunch on a fairly regular basis.  We've worked hard and we deserve to eat well.

Candidate 1: Candidate 2 says he will provide filet mignon, but he won't be able to provide prime.  We could better spend that money by creating more parking spots.  Candidate 2's commitment to filet mignon and champagne show that he is out of touch with the burger eating solid C-student.

Candidate 2: Candidate 1 says I won't be able to provide to provide prime filet mignon, but I will be able to provide choice, which is considered 2nd best and restaurant quality.  I do not appreciate his school yard taunts - as they are uncalled for and are not representative of the change he claims to bring.  And I disagree with the parking spots, we would have to bulldoze the women's field hockey field.  That kind of policy is reckless and harmful.  I would also call for ice-cream bar friday's which would grant every student the equal opportunity to make hot fudge freedom sundays in the cafe.

Candidate 1: Candidate 2 says that my policy for more parking spots so that more students won't have to walk an extra un-American eighth of a mile to school is reckless and puts our safety at risk.  But what doesn't put us at risk is my call for teachers to be held to a higher grade accountability by their students.  We deserve the grades we know we deserve and we demand results! 

Candidate 2: That isn't reckless, what is reckless is his policy for calling for no-prerequisite meetings with the heads of our rival schools.  This kind of behavior puts us all at risk.  Candidate 1's policy amounts to nothing more than coercing the faculty into handing out free A's.  This kind of policy is reckless because *being boo'd by the students*...
