Being stuck in the capitol of Illinois while studying politics has led me to many crazy bastards. My fellow classmates, first off, are insane. Someone actually said the word 'hogwash' out loud in class while we were discussing some stupid public opinion poll. That guy was hogwashing his way to the teacher's heart when all of a sudden I realized he was nuts. I have other insane classmates who feel they should unload their political views and mundane movie opinions on me. Do I really care that "The War Room," a documentary on the 1996 Clinton-Bush campaign is the best political documentary ever? I have yet another classmate (a male) who stares at me and my roomate from across the room during class. I decided to count how many times I could catch him staring at us during a 3 1/2 hour class. I made it to 47. Simply stunning. Another classmate of mine may have been the stunt double for Kip in Napoleon Dynamite. Apparently he adores research methods and their application to the legislative process...he's a sex bomb I think. People love their politics, which makes sense if they are in the capitol, but why do they have to be nuts? They discuss politics at bars, during class breaks, online, and at the bowling alley. This is their right, but what happened to movies, music, and hedonism?

I went to Springfield once. I rubbed Abe's nose and peed in his backyard.
Good times.
Good thing you didnt pee on his face, Kobe
there was no 1996 bush-clinton campaign...that would be clinton-dole in 1996 with Dole's running partner being the former Buffalo Bills Quarterback Jack Kemp. ZING!!!!
SOOOOOOOOOO, quiztime, when was the last general election for president where the name bush or dole was not on the republican ticket?
the answer will appear in a later post.
also, movies, music and hedonism are so last week man. lame political trivia is where it's at. lay down with dogs and it's going to be RUUUUFFFFF!
Is that insane enough for you!!!!!
yes, you have passed the test, 1992 was that year...A+ joe, and 1984 was the last year where dole or bush was not on the ticket...it was reagan and mondale...and if im not mistaken, jesse jackson tried running that year too. thanks for the post and enjoy 'wonderland' 'the ballad of jack and rose' (which by the way are the names of leonardo dicaprio and kate winslet in Titanic...concidence... I think not...)
But wasn't George Bush Reagan's Veep? So technically he was on the ballet, so you are incorrect sir!!!!
Speaking of incorrect...ballet is the gay dancing you practice on a daily basis...ballot is the word...at least i know how to spell better than i can regurgitate political history
Maybe so sir, but I never once STUDIED politics.
But I loves me some ballet.
I don't know how to spell it, but . . . douchet...?
Did you mean touche? Or Douche, as in "My vag is dirty. I better get some douche."
the first one
the answer is actually 1972 when Spiro Agnew (Vice President) and Richard Nixon (President) were the candidates on the Republican side. 1976 was Gerald Ford with a young(er) Bob Dole as his VP candidate. Then four straight elections with Old Man Bush as VP twice and presidential candidate twice, ending in 1992, then Dole and Kemp in 1996, and now Dubbya in 2000 and 2004. So by 2008, it will have been 36 years since there was not a Dole or Bush on the ticket on the Republican side, and people still hint at the possibility of Jeb-meister running. That is ridiculous. Thanks for playing my stupid game.
Joe
im gonna name my first dog spiro
