Nobody Asked Us, But
"Teabag" can be a Verb
In one of the more interesting campaign stunts in recent years, ASUO
Exec. candidate Kelli McCartan was out on 13th street last week handing
out tennis balls with her name written on them. We don't know how much
this ridiculous stunt cost her and we don't care; insert your own 'fuzzy
balls' joke here. But before she gets too carried away handing out
frivolous promotional materials we have a few suggestions that could help
her candidacy:
1) Find a running mate - if you can't find one, think long and hard about
what this says about you.
2) If you can't find a running mate at least get a campaign manager who
can remember your goddamn name.
3) It would help if you turned a voter's guide statement in on time so
voters have the opportunity to read it (but this might not matter anyway -
it could mean having to come up with some concrete policies).
But despite these minor setbacks, we wish her hugs and kisses and
sincerely hope she won't brig this track record of mistakes to her
potential tenure as ASUO Exec.
Time to take a Xanax, Buddy
Last week a member of the OC's Board of Directors was verbally assaulted
by David Kellet, the ringmaster of the University's now infamous Model
United Nations program. Kellet was so angry and visibly distraught that
Rennie's management has to physically escort him off the premises. Later
that week he showed up at a Student Senate meeting and accused this
illustrious publication of issuing a bomb threat against him and his
family (see Nobody, March 11 issue). Sorry, Dave, but any rational human
being will tell you what we printed made no mention of your family and was
quite blatantly a joke. We suppose that if we told him that we were coming
to cut off his head and shit down his bleeding esophagus he wouldn't that
was funny either. Geeeeeesh, some people.
"Honesty"
Okay, so the cat's outta the bag--someone's been running an anti-OSPIRG
campaign for the upcoming ASUO election. However, you'd think that the
student programming juggernaut would have little to fear from a little
healthy competition. But nooooo, they're assholes. While there is no
credible evidence to suggest that the organization is condoning any
underhanded tactics, someone who obviously likes OSPIRG has been
systematically tearing down the 'Honesty' campaign's anti-OSPIRG has been
systemically tearing down the 'Honesty' campaign's anti-OSPIRG posters and
trying to get the organization in trouble by nailing their posters to
trees on 13th. Furthermore, at least five Honesty posters have been ripped
down from the political science department's 'free speech' bulletin board
(you know these people are really lame because they lack any sense of
irony).
