Hillary: Worst Tennant Ever

Aggressively-named news source, therawstory has details of the Clinton Campaign's stay at a number of locales across the nation. The various spaces which were used as campaign headquarters and dormitories were left "trashed", with "fast food containers all over the place and lots of campaign signs left behind" says talkative landlord, Terry Bennett. But that's not all! Team Hill allegedly owes a whopping five hundred bills to Mr. Bennett, while some other dude from Iowa says he's owed $7,600.

Bennett, who I assume was an uncredited dialogue writer for the Dukes of Hazzard, isn't taking this lying down, either (even though he's since been paid and donated aforementioned cash-money to Obama)! He's told the newspaper! "They have their tail in a vise, and I am holding a gas jet under it,". Watch out, Clinton staffers - Bennett is ready to light your tail ablaze at a moment's notice!

OMG! Dude from Paramore totes jk about Hillary

Did you hear what some guy from that band Paramore said!? No? Well, he called presidential candidate Hillary Clinton "crazy"! In a webchat with Gigwise, guitarist Josh Farro relented to the Leaders of Tomorrow™ and finally clued us in on his position on the 2008 Election:

"I haven’t really looked into US politicians that much this year. I really hope Hillary Clinton doesn’t get elected cause she’s crazy!!!!"

You hear that, America? Four exclamation points worth of crazy, that Hillary Clinton. But maybe crazy is what America needs, says some kid named Renan during the same exchange. Farro responds:

“Why do we need a crazy person in charge? What good would that do?”

Controversial! But don't worry - the guitarist of Paramore doesn't mean what he says:

"[Bassist] Jeremy [Davis] and I were on a message board, and kids were just asking us continually, 'What do you think about Hillary Clinton?' and I just felt like saying, 'She's crazy,' " Farro said. "Because we're not a political band at all, like, we try and separate ourselves from that because it gets too ... I didn't mean anything by it, and now I've learned to keep my mouth shut about that stuff. Stay out of politics."

Gets too...what, Josh? My guess is too confusing for your key demo.

Whiny college student wants to abolish govt.

Arizona Wildcat readers were shocked to read a scathing editorial on student government organization the ASUA in this week's paper. Actually, no one cares because no one reads the Wildcat. [ed. except us]

University of Arizona student Connor Meddenhall, who is probably voting for Ron Paul, is the sophomore opinions editor for the Wildcat. His 1,300+ word ramblings include a detailed list of why the student government needs to be abolished.

Meddenhall produces hard numbers including decreased voter turnout and misappropriated funds. He claims student apathy is reason enough to disband the organization but continues to go on for another four-pages bitching about lobbyists and the integrity of student leaders. It's our guess he's pissed about getting burned on campaign promises such as chocolate milk from the water fountains and no homework.

And like that, Criss Angel's write-in campaign comes to an end

"At a voting precinct in Chicago yesterday, a vote-scanning machine rejected 20 paper ballots that voters had used “magic” invisible ink pens to fill out."

Evidently, Chicago voters had mistakenly (and idiotically) used the tablet for the electronic voting machines in order to write on paper ballets. Wonkette has the story.
