A Girl With a Sword

I like living in South Carolina, it pays.

So I just got this email:

Wanted to let you know that the Mayor invited Stephen Colbert, of The Colbert Report (seen on Comedy Central) to come to Columbia. If you are familiar with him, he is a political satirist/comedian, who has announced his intentions to run for President in South Carolina, his home state (he is from Charleston). He accepted the Mayor's invitation and will be here this Sunday, October 28th for a couple of events. The one we are involved with will be held on the USC Horseshoe at 9:00 a.m. Sunday morning. The Mayor will be presenting Stephen with a proclamation and key to the city and "introducing him to voters". It should be interesting and entertaining. We would love to have a big crowd there so please try to come if you can! Please feel free to share this message with others.

Brilliant. Anything that involves the mayor, Stephen Colbert, and my school sounds like a good idea. Also, keys to the city. Getting out of bed that early on Sunday morning . . . might be worth it.

P.S. I'd still go Obama/O'Brien before I'd vote for Colbert and anyone, especially because I have the sneaking suspicion that it would be Ron Paul. And I'm getting pissed off at the wooden spray-painted, painted bedsheet, etc. home-made material of your choice Ron Paul signs everywhere. Why don't these people just move to Montana. I though Y2K was supposed to rid us of the libertarians. They were all supposed to go into their basements and stay there, for like the next thirty years.
