Created for a story about inflation. This actually got the approval from a grizzled old newspaper man at UNM, he told my boss it was exactly the point and that I should get paid more. I never did get paid more there. Oh well, how much money could I expect from a college newspaper?
Created for a Daily Lobo article about concealed carry on campus at UNM. Clearly I don't think it's the greatest of ideas. I know the second amendment and all, and that "when guns are outlawed only outlaws will have guns." Honestly I'm more afraid of idiots with guns than outlaws with guns. And where are there more twitchy idiots congregated in one place than a college campus? The only place I can think of is the RNC...ZING!
I never thought in a million years I'd say this, but thank god Sarah Palin showed up when she did!
Now we all know Americans have a high tolerance for stupid. We've practically made a national pastime of idiotic arguments.
The health care debate has been a wonderful game of this real national pastime. The crazy idiot juice was (and still is) really flying over this one.
Then, out of left field comes Sarah Palin. She popped up out of nowhere, spouting such insane lies and gibberish that even the FOXbots thought it was out of hand.
I could rail away at you with a myriad of statistics and numbers. I could make long-winded ethical arguments. Instead I'll just tell you the stories of people I know and love.
