I Meet Megan McCain (Yes, the Real One, Not in Photoshop)

Yesterday I met Megan McCain, a fine lass who came to the Stick-E-Star restaurant to campaign for her dad. I had a bit of a chat with her; told her my explanation of why a lot of kids at DU and college kids in general are supporting Obama (that they're bored with the majority of things being stable; change would be new and exciting, and 4 more years of stable Republican rule would be just plain boring), and she agreed. She's a great person, and I was thankful I got to meet her.

Well, here's how it should have looked:


But it didn't look like this, because I lost my shades.

Or maybe I just made that up to cover for the crags under my eyes...I am sick, after all.

We'll never know.

Crush All Dissent: Political Incorrectness

So here's something interesting: the "pro-choice" movement is alive and well on the campus. Well, at least the pro-choice movement. Andrew and I decided to do something about it, shake things up with a bit of political incorrectness. We found a "No on Amendment 48" sign (Amendment 48 defines life as starting from conception, but doesn't add anything extra. Infanticide-defenders argue, however, that this would make contraception illegal. I say that's ridiculous, since an "outlawing contraception" act wouldn't even make it to the ballot).

We took this sign to a hidden place (OK, a couple streets down behind a fence) and duct-taped over the bottom, where it says "Just Goes Too Far". Ann Coulter once famously advised us that liberals can indeed sum of their views for bumper sticker slogans. Like "I <3 partial-birth abortion".

So that's what we did. We wrote "I <3 partial-birth abortion" on one side, and "Kill The Inconveniences" on the other side. We put it in a place that it was sure to be seen by all, especially fembots.

It was almost 11:00 PM. When I met Andrew at 7:30 AM, he found out it had been stolen.

We'd tolerated those "No on 48" signs everywhere for a long time. They couldn't stand one of ours for 8.5 hours. They won't tolerate intolerance. Neither will an Obama administration.


PICS!





Nothing like a little dissent of majority opinion to make things interesting.

Except for when that dissent is oppressed. Then it gets really interesting. ;)
