I'm working on my book.  You know, the one about how terrible customers are.  Especially around the holidays.

A special Merry Fucking Christmas to the lady who just decided to complain to my manager that I didn't ring her out fast enough.  I hope you enjoy the candles, Christmas cards, and overpriced trinkets that you just needed to buy in such a hurry.  Enjoy spending Christmas alone with your candles!

Sometimes I read the school paper.  Not because I'm looking for news or anything, but because I find the paper hysterically funny.  It seems like every single issue has the same reports about how none of the sports teams win games ever, particularly the football team which is on the verge of national attention with a 26 game losing streak over the last 3 years, and some IT sob story about how Limewire is the cause of all social ills, including not only why the campus internet is often slow or completely not working, but also why there is a lack of participation in on-campus clubs and events.  Next issue promises to include a story about how Limewire is the reason for national poverty and homelessness.  Support the artists.

I also particularly enjoy the "Question on the Quad" compilation because the answers given are pretty candid.  "What are you looking forward to most about primary season?" "I am looking forward to seeing Hillary Clinton's hot body."  "When do you think the football team will win their first game?" "When the soccer team changes their name to the football team."

But back to my point.  I read the paper today, and I saw a story about Mitt Romney's "Ask Mitt Anything" session that I attended a few weeks ago (for the record, only because my Intro to Ed class convinced my professor that we would ask questions about education.  We did not).  It was not well-received by myself personally, but I thought that was because I am one of about 5 democrats on this campus and I'm not really a Romney fan.  And not just because he is a conservative, but also because he has season tickets to the Red Sox, in really good seats, and he shows up during the second inning and leaves during the top of the fourth.  Tickets that good are being completely wasted on Romney and his family.  Give them to me.

Interestingly, the article starts off criticizing Romney for his lack of Red Sox knowledge during his opening schpeil, as he referred to my Kevin "Yoooooooooooouk" Youkilis as "Bill Youkilis".  Inexcusable for the former governor of Massachusetts.

The article then goes on to criticize Romney's answers to questions.

Q: "Has your campaigning changed based on Michigan moving up their primary?"
A: "I'm happy that Michigan has jumped up, because I was born and raised there...Michigan's success is personal to me."

What?  "How has your campaigning changed?" "I like Michigan.  Next question."

And then my favorite part, when my man Arnie from Canterbury, NH (not a St. Anselm College student) started his question by saying, "We're spending 720 million dollars a day on the war in Iraq.  That is enough money to buy health care for more than 163,000 people..."

Before Arnie even got to his question, Mitt just started yelling at him.  Like full out yelling at him.

As the paper puts it, "After this, Romney decided to change the day to Ask Arnie Anything and questioned, 'Are you suggesting that American life is less important than money?  The cost of Iraq is blood.  Don't make it money.  The cost of Iraq is the loss of American service men and women, and the lives of Iraqi people.'"

So my political campaign is now Anyone But Romney '08.

Stay tuned for more fascinating new from the St. Anselm Whiner I mean...Crier.  This was just one of many, many entertaining stories this issue.
