… for the party of abstention and absurdity, a positive platform based on the enforced decay of all social institutions and practices. from the university student senate, emanations of a melancholy sadness. we party and we work, the lines are being blurred. what is social networking? or more accurately, what isn’t? we produce social capital, we absorb debt, we integrate and assimilate and die and die again. a mechanism for the destruction of possibility, is your university apparatus. a comedy. a tragedy.
if i am elected to the universal senate for the maintenance of student passivity and social death, i will probably not care.

Exactly two months ago, Eugene Lang elected me to the Senate. Most of us thought that my term would last a full 12 months, but since it was in fact a “special election,” here we are voting again.
I ran on the platform of getting our printer up and running in the basement bellow the cafe on 11th st. But there are bigger fish to fry. During the last 2 months I’ve been working with the other Senators trying to improve our access to new school facilities, and improve communication between the Student Body and the Senate. After all, how are we going to get anything done without knowing what you guys want?
Here are some of the projects that I’ve started in the last 2 months:
• “Express Printing Stations” in the computer labs to speed up the slow traffic we all experience when we try to get a computer.
• Took part in the all-campus-party (March Madness) which supplied the student body with much needed PIZZA and BEER.
• Developing an idea for video reports on the happenings of the Senate, viewable by you from our website. Because We do enough reading already.
• Made connections with IT to explore the possibilities of increasing our connection with the student body.
So that’s a good start. If you voted for me in the “Special Elections” thanks for giving me the opportunity. I hope you all will vote for me to continue with the Senate through next year.
Let me dive back into what I started!
Thanks guys!

Political society uses morality as a tool for the public to believe in the legitimacy of the political society itself, often positioning itself as more moral than political societies of the past, which engaged in varying degrees of atrocious acts. Political institutions are capable of feigning legitimacy only in that they prevent worse political organizations from gaining or regaining political power. To run for, or to run from? This is the central question. The secretary bird is a terrestrial bird of prey. Who are you? A candidate allows constituents to feast upon the candidate’s supple flesh. Constituents allow candidates to play a role. The secretary bird is related to the vulture; the twitter bird is related to isolation. Sagittarius serpentarius does not stay in one place pecking away at policy and reform like bits of grain. DO YOU WANT TO BE EATEN? Policy is a dead substance. It is eaten despite its lack of nutritive value. Destroy policy. Destroy value. The life of the nomad is not one that is willed upon the unwilling like a plague. The nomad tattoos it personally to the feet. Fill form. Submit form. Peck at grain. Peck at polls. Stamp posts. Post stamps, posterchild.
