(I think that every time I type that one the number changes)
about some subject that will probably have no meaningful purpose whatsoever,
but I'm going to tell you about it anyway.
Today's subject: Correct spelling and the presidential race. Trust me, they
go hand in hand, especially at UWRF.
Every four years we have to go through it, right? And, now that we're of
age, we get to go make one little tally mark on the board of whoever we put
an X next to. We make our little X's, those papers get taken to a big pile
out back where one of those guys in a nerdy looking plaid suit and a bowtie
and black thick-framed glasses carefully analyzes each and every graphite
mark until finally coming up with the conclusion that some guy is going to
run the country for the next four years until the process is done all over
again. And, of course, Dan Rather gets to have his cute little slumber party
at the TV station in New York as they tabulate all of the results from those
geeky guys stationed all over the country. Dan and his correspondents get to
chat and giggle about the latest gossip in the presidential race circuit, and
they play a couple slumber party games. "Ok, Diane Sawyer, you chose truth,
so here's your question. <giggle, giggle> Do you think that Leiberman is a
cutie, or what? <giggle>" Eventually, just when you are trying to decide
whether you are feeling nauseated because every channel you turn to is
running their own version of the Presidential Race Slumber Party, or if that
twelfth Mountain Dew is wrecking havoc on your stomach (and, oh, yeah, I have
to buy some more Mt. Dew tomorrow), the clock is just starting to toll 10:17
and you just KNOW that they're gonna do an extra long local news slumber
party and David Letterman probably won't be on at all so you're gonna miss
the Joshua Jackson interview. Finally, this is the moment you've been
waiting for for the last five months... They're gonna announce the winner.
Yeah!!! You don't need to watch those stupid commercials anymore! No more
mudslinging. At least, not for another couple of years...
So, I guess that brings me to my point. How far do you go to support whoever
you're supporting? Stupid T-shirts that say "Thinking of Voting for Bush or
Gore makes me wanna Ralph"? Cute as that may be, it's not really as far out
as this one: www.uwrf4Bush.com
Now, tell me, when you guys are walking around your campus, do you guys have
HUGE chalk displays with things like "Paying too much for gas?
www.uwrf4Bush.com" There are TONS of little things like that written all
over our sidewalks. Some of them are cute, and make you laugh because you
realize that in a school full of ag guys you are one of the only people who
gets the one that says "Don't vote kiss www.uwrf4Bush.com" Now, I'm not
saying that I support Bush, and I'm not saying that I don't support him, I'm
just saying that these little chalk slogans are EVERYWHERE! But, that's not
the worst part. Oh, yes, it gets better. Then there are the people who have
this great desire to defile anything having to do with anyone other
than 'their' candidate, so they take their own chalk and cross out and
mutilate these already ugly slogans. So, they write HUGE Nader slogans.
Most of which are also catchy.
But, this is my point. If you're gonna do something like this, especially at
UWRF where you wanna get your point accross, don't say "Majoring in
Agraculture? Bush cares about you. www.uwrf4Bush.com"
PS, check this page out. I like how Gore looks like the devil and Bush looks
like the nicest guy in the world. Too bad his dad's VP couldn't spell,
either!
