January 25, 2005SG / Senate and You!By Karl-Thomas MusselmanWritten in response to yesterday's story about Senate and SG bickering, a former Senate type wrote a very interesting Firing Line today. Here's a segment.
Most students don't know or care much about internal SG politics, though SG does end up getting a number of things done behind the scenes and need to better talk about those. But an even smaller total of students has a clue as to what goes on with the Senate, how it operates, and what it even does. I mean, I'm involved in comparison to a majority of students, and I don't really have a clue as to what Senate does. This is one of the reasons why I will likely be moving away from Student Government some this semester and working with University Democrats instead who's first meeting is tomorrow night at 8 pm in GSB 2.124.

blah blah blah blah Who gives a fuck? Staha is a whore to the administration, Chaney is a wuss. Neither get anything done. More ITS space you say? Well bully for you- I stopped using it several months ago. Formed a committee to consider thinking about forming a commission to explore the possibility of perhaps (if it doesn't offend anyone) doing something that nobody gives a shit about? Thanks for wasting my time and money. I used to be a part of this charade and I got over it real quick. The only thing about SG that makes me happy is that Brent Chaney will soon be gone to be replaced by someone better- both Jessica and Omar are good people- yet still inadequate. We need a junkyard dog with huge brass balls and the ability to look powerful good ol' boys in the eye and call them on their bullshit. We need a tough, mean, sneaky motherfucker in that job, and instead we have a castrated boy scout with the political skill of a drug-addled Libertarian. I'm going to be keeping up with this race, and I might even throw my hat in there for sport. One way or another BOR readers will get some interesting perspective on this whole deal.
