Ugh.  Well, it's that time again.  Time for the SGA's inevitable runoff
elections and another rant by the Devil.  

This time the candidates have taken a new approach: trying to get people
off campus to vote, people who may not even go to Tech.  Yep, about 1/2
mile outside Tech is the farthest I've seen the posters, usually on a
gas station lawn or some place like that.  I urge all Atlantianites(?)
to follow their suggestions, break into someone's dorm room, interrogate
them for their password, and vote, dammit!  They want us to vote, then
by God (shudder) we'll vote!  We'll be the only campus in the nation,
no, on Earth with a 130% voter turnout!

Sorry about that, the Devil's brain is mush after his 2 tests today.  In
fact, the Devil's brain is so dead that he's started talking in 3rd
person.  The runoff from the clogged gutter that was the first election
is here, and we have to mush through it.  Those SGA bastards need to get
it through their thick heads that the majority of students here don't
give a rat's ass about SGA or their little election.  Nope, J.R.
Spriggle will continue to empty toner cartriges on his all-black
posters, while Matt Mason will strive to make his name as large as
possible on an 8.5x11 sheet of pinkish paper.  Why can't they be like
everyone else and pick a hobby that doesn't involve annoying an entire
campus?  

At least put up a campaign booth under my window so I can have some fun
with water balloons.  Or maybe ink balloons, or syrup balloons or...naw
that's too gross.

This has been a public service announcement from the Devil.
That's it, tar balloons!  Off to the hardware store I go!
