After a long weekend of media pukefest<\/a>*, it’s time to review all the awesome shit that happened over the weekend! (er, since Friday).\u00a0starting with our golden boy, of course.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

i don't know why there is a laser eye show, let it be<\/p><\/div>\n

1. WHO’DA THUNK IT<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just as we were geared up for a nailbiter of a race between two overinvolved keener candidates, a third, equally overinvolved keener candidate entered the presidential race!\u00a0 Bless you, Ben Cappellacci<\/strong> for a) having the marketing knowhow to make sure you’re the top story on everyone’s pages; and b) giving us all a chance to break out the “HOW DOES CONDORCET WORK AGAIN??” filler story.<\/p>\n

\"petty<\/a><\/p>\n

2. THE PENALTY BOX<\/strong><\/p>\n

unnnnnnnngh I’ve missed you sooooo muuuuuuuch. Kids, if you’re new to this election, here is the thing: we have rules for this shit. Awesome, pedantic rules. And the Penalty Box on the AMS Elections website tells us every single time<\/em> someone breaks these rules, e.g. by starting their campaigns too early\u2014seriously, Katherine Tyson, you’ve done this election shtick before, you should know these by now<\/em>\u2014or other minor screwups. Vindictive, petty, and totally golden. love love love.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

...and I want a pony, and some ninja Legos, and a Senate seat!!<\/p><\/div>\n

3. TOTALLY UNHEARD OF<\/strong><\/p>\n

Aside from the total mind-fuck of meeting people born in 1993<\/em> in our day-to-day university life, look at this list of total unknowns running for shit. Total unknowns with\u00a0awesome names<\/em>. Barnabas Caro? Montana Hunter <\/strong>(who is so clearly a minor fanfiction character)?<\/p>\n

[Editor’s note: OMG finally another reason for Hannah Montana\/Miley Cyrus references. Oh wait, shit, just Facebook creeped and Montana is in fact a dude. Oh well, it’s still happening.]<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/em>Shit, son, if that doesn’t get you excited for politics, I don’t know what will. THEY ARE ALL JUST HACKY BABIES, which ovaries dictate I must find adorable or els\u2014<\/em><\/p>\n
