There’s a banner ad for John McCain on this page, so I think I’ll just vote for him instead. I mean, his Facebook group has like 15,000+ members. Plus, he’s usually he’s often seen walking down the sidewalk on the way to a shuffleboard tournament on a always fun night out [sic].

From his own website:

“I don’t have space here to describe my platform satisfactorily, but know this: I will not deliver the amount of non-binding resolutions that my opponents will.”

Translation: I don’t understand how ASG functions so I do not know how to solve this issue.

“The office would also be able to review leases and take action against landlords who are not accommodating their tenants’ needs according to their lease agreement. Thus, landlords would not be able to use students’ ignorance about renting against them.”

We had a ASG lawyer that students were free to use for basically this purpose. Current ASG President, along with his executive board, cut this service because it was being severely underused.

“Third, on a lighter note, the dorms need to step up to 2-ply toilet paper. This simple upgrade would be used on a very personal level quite frequently all over campus. As most students are coming away from nice homes to live in dormitory facilities, providing decent quality bathroom products would be a small gesture to make Northwestern students feel more at home.”

Yes, it is a lighter note. He does qualify this issue. But c’mon. I am sure there are a couple more salient issues to be addressed.

If I do remember correctly, as I attended this same party that this supposed “vodka incident” occurred, your female friend physically assaulted Mr. Yocom because he had the nerve to pour himself a drink at a party he was invited to. Most people lose control of a cup in their hand immediately following a direct slap to the face. I’m sure every one of the candidates here has had an experience in the past that can be dragged out to attack their character, because guess what? We’re in college, stupid things happen. This kind of rumor-mongering is in no way beneficial to this campaign. Stick to the issues and grow up.

If I do remember correctly, Blake and some of his friends showed up to my friend’s birthday party (who they did not know) and tried to steal a handle of vodka. When confronted during their escape, Blake decided it was a good idea to throw his vodka drink into my friend’s eyes (who was a woman).

Ya, that is who I want running ASG.

Mr. St. Michel, did you do any research into this article? Who edits the garbage that is NBN, “Yokom” is not the correct spelling. Read the Daily, look at the school directory or look at facebook.

Is it just me, or does Mark seem to use Neal’s slogans a lot in his video?

Love the article! Good to see an equally-discriminatory pundit in the mix. =)
