Too Much Time On Their Hands

College Republicans at Colorado State have decided to protest the school’s newspaper because it used the the word fuck Immediately after the use of the word Fuck came the word Bush, which might inform us of why exactly these students are protesting.

Politically active college students are a fantastically interesting breed - they’re routinely getting pissed about the least important occurences in the history of mankind, and they’re always doing it for the most absurd of reasons. Had the school newspaper written Fuck Ahmadinejad, for example, those Republicans wouldn’t be stamping their feet like the angry children that they are.

However, the College Republicans aren’t alone in this sort of indignant behavior. College Democrats are similarly stupid, and good lord, College Libertarians? “We’re part of a really small club and if you don’t join us, you’re stupid!” They’ll all show up and protest each other and pretend that these situations are incredibly important when in fact, they’re not. They’re not remotely important.

Oh well. You can find these examples all over the news regularly. I’m not entirely sure why I chose to write about this; I walked by a table manned by College Republicans today at WVU’s Student Union. They were smiley and nice looking and no doubt planning the apocalypse for the social freedoms that the rest of us enjoy…I felt like I needed to post. That’s the real reason.
