Uptown Notes

Dear Red States:

If you manage to steal this election too we’ve decided we’re leaving.

We intend to form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware, that includes California, Hawaii, Oregon, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and all the Northeast.

To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches. We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Dollywood. We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.

In California, a GOP group recently sent out a newsletter with an image of a “foodstamp” with Barack Obama’s face on a donkey, a KFC bucket, Kool-Aid, and Ribs. The response of those responsible for sending it, who thinks it’s racist? You’ve got to see this one.

I propose a moratorium on the word swagger. Join me in my quest for depth!

This weekend, October 17th-19th City College hosts the first CUNY Social Forum. Come out and have your voice heard and develop plans to make CUNY the university system that it was meant to be.
