Wow, how about that porn feature in the Daily last week? You know, one
would’ve thought that we would’ve been the first to publish a feature about
Deja Vu, considering El Señor Guípe’s numerous fact-finding
missions to there during the summer.
Really though, did they have to devote an entire Weekend edition to
porn? Are they really that hard up for readers?
Top Ten Things Not In Question About the Election
10. Lyndon LaRouche only sees this as a temporary setback.
9. Nader captured the damned-dirty-hippie demographic.
8. Unpopular Party (Reform) + Unpopular Candidate (Buchanan) = Major
Constituency (Confused old people.)
7. Everybody’s votes counts, assuming of course, they live in a swing
state with lots of electors.
6. The State of Florida can hold twice its weight in lawyers.
5. Retractions should not use the words “I was just kidding” and “NOT!”
4. Looking back, Ross Perot was the “sane one” in the Reform Party.
3. The budget surplus magically expands at determined by spending plans.
2. Mutual incompetence prevents negative campaigning.
1. There’s no such thing as too much election coverage.
Fox News was the first network to call the election for Bush on election
night, which forced the other major networks to call it for Bush too. This
leadership in the news has prompted Fox News to call the 2004 election
a resounding victory for President George W. Bush, and the 2008 election,
a squeaker in which J.C. Watts defeats Martin Sheen and Jesse Ventura in
a three way race.
If we learned anything from the election, it’s that Al Gore flip-flops
on the issues. First he conceded, then he doesn’t. Come on Al, pick one!
After nearly two weeks, our nation’s president elect has still not yet
been determined. And we thought the only embarrassment we would suffer
would be having one of these two in office.
Two suspects were arrested after they allegedly stole a Palm Beach voting
machine and trying to sell it online. Their planned defense is that they
were simply trying to vote for Gore but became confused by the ballot.
Guide To Hand Recounting, as provided by the Gore campaign:
1. Is the chad in the Gore hole punched out?

No: Go to step 2
2. Is the Gore chad hanging by the corners?
Yes: Go to step 6

3. Is the Gore chad indented?
Yes: Go to step 6
No: Go to step 4
4. Not even a little?
Yes: Go to step 6
No, Go to step 5
5. Slightly push the Gore chad in and go to step 1.
6. Is Gore the only candidate marked?
Yes: Go to step 8
No: Go to step 7
7. Try placing a punched out chad in the other candidate’s hole. Does
it stay?
Yes: Go to step 8
No: Add a little glue and try again.
8. The voter obviously wanted Gore for president. Make sure this ballot
is counted.
Former Vietnam War protester and soon-to-be-former president Bill Clinton
recently stated that after having been president, he understands that LBJ
was doing what he though was the right thing by escalating the Vietnam
War. With this Clinton succeeded in his goal to flip-flop on every stance
he has ever held.
Beaver College in Pennsylvania, after years of jokes and ridicule, has
decided to officially change their name to Arcadia University. Beaver College
on the internet, however, will still be there, with tuition still at only
$9.99 a month.
Actor Martin Sheen was arrested for at least the second time over the
weekend during a protest at the Army’s School of the Americas in Ft. Benning,
GA. Well, with a record like his, maybe he really should be president.
The first runner up in a Thai beauty pageant returned her prize money
and confessed that she was actually a man after several other contestants
accused him/her of “unfair competition.” Unfair competition at a beauty
pageant? What, was there a “write your name in the snow” competition in
this beauty pageant?
Following a loss to Michigan this weekend, riots broke out at Ohio State
University, resulting in 29 arrests, 129 fires, 1 stabbing, and at least
five cars destroyed. Man, if these Buckeyes did this after every year after
they lost to us, Columbus should look like Beirut or East Lansing by now.
Well, MSA elections are finally over. See how Doug Tietz won a seat
in LSA and DAAP won nine overall, it looks like we won either way. We now
have a good MSA rep in the form of old Doug, and we broke our endorsements
losing streak. We thought we’d never say this, but thank you DAAP!
