Debate Live Blog

So its been a couple (four) days since the last entry. I'm sorry, but to make it up I am going to do something really fancy.  I really just stole it from CNN, but I'm going to sit in the back of the debate and try to capture what's happening as it happens.  Good luck, me.

4:08-  It started. At least, I heard that this is when it started. I was late, but only missed the boring teams' intros.

4:15- Al and Alex threw down with a good opening.  Very articulate.  I like the corresponding outfits as well.  The ties are a hit.

4:19- The Heights wants to know what the candidates see as the biggest problem at BC.  I would have said the chronic smell around the fro-yo machine in lower, but clearly the Als have identified some slightly bigger issues.  Don't worry, they've got plans for a-fixin' em.

4:24- Ale(jandro, duh) wants to hear some credentials from the candidates.  Lots of name dropping here about CSOM things I don't understand, mostly because I'm so fixated on Kaz's great hat. The Als want to write a blog.  Maybe they'll update theirs more than I do.

4:28- I spilled coffee, mostly in the lap region.  It looks really handsome.

4:30- Throwdown time.  The candidates asked each other questions, but I was a little disappointed at the lack of yo mama jokes and profanities.  

4:32- Someone finally asked Riley what his new government will be.  I am sort of bummed with his answer, because I definitely was hoping for something wacky and fun like CCCP style communism.

4:37- We're talking 'bout the Matrix.  Clearly the matrix sucks, but it is easily the best named policy at BC.  None of the candidates like the Matrix.

4:40- Al wants to work to establish more satellite printing.  I think thats a great idea, but its not totally practical to be printing in space (thats an awful joke, you have permission to throw snow at me if you see me around).

4:50- I won't lie to you, for the last ten minutes I was on the 'book untagging photos (I am now friends with my mom, which is a huge fail) and I don't really know what they were talking about.  I'm sure the Als said something intelligent.

4:52- Debating how to make UGBC more open.  This seemed really important to all three groups as evidenced by extra hand gestures in the responses, but once again the Als gave a great response. 

4:55-  How do we improve athletics?  I say give Matty Ice plastic surgery and re-enroll him for five more years, but the Als had slightly more practical advice.  Their commitment to improving tradition is good stuff. 

5:02- The moderator asked why the presidential candidates picked their VP's.  It started pretty normal, then I got uncomfortable.  By the end I thought there might be tears and hugs.  Lots of bromance going on down there.

We're done.  I hope this was informative (even though it wasn't).  My pants are still wet, and when I stand up everyone will see, but it was well worth it to come hear Al and Alex talk some game.  They have some great stuff going on, so keep on trucking, campaigners.
