Master Debaters

Saturday, September 27th, 2008

Did you watch last night’s debate? Congratulations, you astute, politically aware citizen. Also, you’re a moron. See, there was no point in even tuning in at all – and we mean beyond what the “thoroughly disillusioned” (his words) and “totally annoying” (our words) kid on the ACB is whining about. Anyone with the internetz knew who was going to win 11 hours ahead of time. Check it out…

(Not picking up what we’re putting down, here? Check the screenshot’s time and date, chief.*)

For those of you who care about having your say on such issues as the fate of the global economy, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad’s creepy shit-eating grin, and the career of attractive albeit frighteningly ill-prepared hockey moms, voter registration continues on campus for the next two weeks. The table, sponsored by Skidmore Democrats,  has been outside of Case all week and is trying to make its hours a bit more uniform, so any time you can offer would surely be appreciated.

Email Mariale Renna, Skidmore Dems Secretary, at mrenna@skidmore.edu with whatever time 12-4 Monday through Thursday you can offer.

*Insult to injury addendum: Gentleman Johnny hadn’t even decided on whether or not he would attend the debate at 10:16 AM. Yikes.

Pizza and Politics

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Have you ever wished you could see John McCain’s jowly face stretched across the big screen in Gannett? Well wish no more, because this Friday the SYRA and Skidmore Dems will be co-hosting a viewing of the first presidential debate on that very screen. Get your apathetic ass over to Gannett at 9pm and educate yourself. This debate, the first of many, is hosted by a forerunner in American partisanship Ole’ Miss University, and promises to focus on such important issues as “Where have all the flag pins gone?” “Who is more elite?” and also boring stuff like foreign policy and shit.

Pizza will be served to those of you who know what a filibuster is (or if you ask politely I’m sure).

It’s Hip to Check Squares

Sunday, September 21st, 2008

Voter registration, presented by Skidmore Democrats, runs all this week in Case. Hours are (currently) as follows:

Monday: 12-6
Tuesday: 10-12 & 2-4
Wednesday: 12:30-4
Thursday: 9-11

If none of these times work for you, well, you should probably talk to the registrar about revising your schedule. Or, better yet, email Amy Bergstraesser and volunteer some of the free time you do have (during the next 3 weeks) working the tables.

Skidmore Dems meet Wednesday nights, 8:30 in the Spa.

Students can register in their home state or in New York with a campus address. Register by October 10, vote November 4.
