Student Government Presidents

The student government president at Maryland gets a pretty good deal. He oversees legislation affecting a student body that is largely uninvolved in the legislature. Things happen in the student government and for the most part no one notices. Its a shame though, because students get awfully upset about things not going their way, but they've got to blame themselves for not paying attention.

This new guy, Sachs, made his inauguration speech about getting students involved. And then he proposed we have a spring fling. You know, with food and stuff...to get people involved. Give me a break, Sachs.

Hillary's Hope

Here's a cartoon about Hillary Clinton as here campaign enters its final through. Its cheap rhetorical play but I was shot for ideas and running up on a deadline. The drawing could use some work too. Anyhow, enjoy.

Clinton knows magic!

Hell yeah Hillary. Take the taxes off the consumers and put the burden on oil companies. That should do the trick to end our oil problems (sarcasm). That's a damn cheap trick. Do you think the American people will vote for you because you made it easier for them to travel in the vacation season? Maybe. But screw that. We need some long-term solutions to the energy crisis that is wreaking havoc globally. The oil will run out. No doubt about it. So we need to start thinking long-term, otherwise in 50 years things are going to be very very bad. Oil fuels everything. We ship goods nationally and internationally. We need oil to create just about everything we consume. So as our stores start to deplete, our luxuries will too. America has lasted too long on an attitude that our economy can bounce back from anything. My attitude--oil shortages will throw the world into the most difficult struggles we have experienced in over a century. It could be worst than the Great Depression, when oil dependency was not an issue. We need to gear ourselves for hard times, and a last ditch "vacation tax" isn't helping.
