WOMB is back! We’re recapping the week in Berkeley through posts in the LiveJournal community. This week we saw the ASUC elections take place–now see what everyone was saying about them (and your mom).
The posts with the most comments featured a discussion on Student Action, a complaint about carpet cleaning and a handy guide to avoiding campaigners (bookmark it for next year, freshies). The national news media may have gone haywire over “nappy headed hos,” but in Berkeley it barely made a dent.
Instead, the kids were up in arms about something else.
In the Student Action post, the author wrote:
Do your fellow Cal Students a favor and DON’T vote for Student Action.
Some people agreed, one mentioned voting for Sanjaya and another referenced a chalking urging “Palpatine for senator.”
There was so much hate for ASUC politics (and Sproul electioneering) in general this week that one person went on quite a verbal rampage. Under the post advising how to avoid campaigners, one student roared:
Because since I’m on Sproul Plaza, I obviously want to hear why the dim bulbs who run the Berkeley Intelligent Design club think I ought to come to their Come and Smell Tom Bethell Ice Cream Social, or maybe I am there to get into a thoughtful discussion with the Larouche Youth Movement about how Dick Cheney once tossed Satan’s salad
…
And of course I have time to talk to some jackass from Student Action / Apple Engineering / Fart-Lighting Club who wants me to know that if I vote for him, he’ll give the fucking Greek system the funding and support it requires, just so all the Mass Comm majors who flunked out of Math 16A will have a chance to learn how to write “lambda.”
Perhaps we should offer him a flier on anger management, sponsored by the Fart-Lighting Club.
