Michael K said...: When I was a medical student (yes I was ARM), a first year medical student ran for USC Student Body President, which was mostly an undergrad popularity contest, on a platform that, if elected, he would abolish student government. He was elected.

Proving that nothing changes and inertia is resistant to reform, student government resumed after his term.; 6/19/13, 3:11 PM

Tired and starved and dirty,
There's but one road to follow now,
So grab your .30-30; 6/19/13, 3:44 PM

Hairballs. IF they're not fixed they spray everywhere and leave a nasty stench. They scratch up the furniture.
Still better than most congressmen.; 6/19/13, 6:29 PM
