Come for the speech, stay for the disinfectant.

America’s election fever is so hot that even the Maritime Academy’s come down with a temperature. Cadet political action reached a one year high during student election week. A recent stroll across the major bulletin boards of campus revealed campaigns in the throes of various degrees of apathy.

Taking advantage of the carriage return feature of Microsoft Word, this candidate invoked the might of Nordic mythology. Although the office sought is perhaps a bit unclear, the candidate’s platform on flaming hammers is not.

Stepping the bar way up was Ms. Wood. This one had it all: color, rhyme, humor. I loved it. However, with one of the highest jackass to female ratios in the state, I suppose vandalism was inevitable on this campus. This is an outrage. Or, you know, would be an outrage if it weren’t so funny.
