Vendettas   On further reflection, and with the support of Matty, I would agree that perhaps Matty and Leathers should be swapped putting Leathers as the most exemplary person in the known history of ASUCD ( Read more... )

   In my five years of involvement in ASUCD, I have seen a lot of extremely shady antics. As I’ve mentioned before, I do not believe power corrupts, I believe power allows the already-prone-to-corruption to show themselves. There are a lot of scandals in real government, and students love to point these out - but what most people don’t realize is ( Read more... )

24 hours until my epic list of the shadiest people in ASUCD (in the last six years)!

Feel free to remind me of any dirt on your political enemies you want to make sure I didn't forget ;)

The draft is already four pages long, what ho! (don't worry, I'll use lj-cuts)

   From Wednesday afternoon until early this morning I have been in Davis. The main reason for my visit was that before I filed for graduation I had to file for my minors, and I could only do the latter in person ( Read more... )

Phase 1: All Fun And Games   Last week there was a rally at Davis. In fact I think there were several. People may have even gotten arrested. However, they were all overshadowed by something a small group of the Davis College Republicans ("DCR") did ( Read more... )

To Catch A Predator, and Show Them on National Television

We all know for even the most innocuous ( Read more... )

A Right to Shadiness?   Yesterday in the ASUCD Internal Affairs Commission, a member of the public tried to videotape the proceedings. Several various ASUCD officers got extremely upset, with Paul Harms even threatening to call the police and/or sue the individual. The commission's chairman ended up adjourning the meeting without addressing any ( Read more... )

Breaking News: ASUCD External Affairs Commissioner Ostrowski (sostrowski) just removed from his position by unanimous vote! Additionally, the case he had before the ASUCD Supreme Court (Case 37) was defaulted against him yesterday for failure to file his brief. Some justices are pushing for additional contempt proceedings, as it appears he had never ( Read more... )

   For over a year now I've been predicting that this quarter's ASUCD election would be particular drama filled, and so far it seems to be shaping up as expected. Despite not being there, I intend to report on it, and I believe it will be interesting to even those who have no involvement or interest in ASUCD. So I invite you not to dismiss ( Read more... )

I. OMG Bees!!   So earlier today I'm sitting at my desk and I look up to see our yard is filled with bees. I think "oh the bees are swarming again," but then I realize, oh wait we don't HAVE any bees anymore. I run out to investigate. By the time I get my shoes on the swarm has moved up the hill. I find a clump of bees about 2/3rds the size of ( Read more... )
