Oy Vey

My boss just sent me on an errand. On my walk around campus, I passed:

• A booth set up by the "Students for Concealed Carry on Campus." Particularly unsettling, given it was just over a week ago that the campus was locked down and four police helicopters were launched to search for some idiot who had rented a replica AK-47 from the Military Science building and proceeded to walk around campus with it tucked under his arm for all to see. I wonder if his thoughts on allowing his fellow students to arm themselves have changed since that incident.
• Some idiot standing next to the student center shouting at the top of his lungs about how America will "drown in a lake of Hellfire" for accepting homosexuality. Uh, does he live in the same country as me? It doesn't seem like the U.S. is in any danger of "accepting homosexuality" any time soon. If I wasn't on the clock, I'd have whipped out my phone and cued up my MP3 of Lily Allen's "Fuck You" for him. Or, offered to make out with him.
• A huge cavalcade with giganemous pictures of aborted fetuses and "Stop Abortion" signs.

What I don't get is why they put on their dog-and-pony show here. They'd have to go to Iran to find a community more ardently opposed to abortion, gays and . . . uh, . . . sanity (I guess) than Hooterville. They're basically preaching to the choir around these here parts. Beyond being unseemly, it's just Demonstration Masturbation.

Jumpin' Judas on a unicycle, I fucking hate this place. >_
