It was a kwazy semester of teaching school, but thank Jesus, Mohammed, Buddha and Superman, it has finally come to an all-too abrupt, screeching halt.
There were many topics I delayed as a result of my life being more hectic than rush hour at Unioun Station, and one of them was this insane banter from Republican presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani.
During a campaign stop at Northern Iowa University back on Nov. 9, Rudy tried to 'inspire' young voters by telling them to get over their apathy.
The whole exchange was documented by the liberal publication "Mother Jones." They quoted the former New York mayor as actually saying the following:
"I'll tell you what I'd say (to apathy)," his-honor said. (Clap! Clap! Clap! Clap!) "Wake up! Look at America. You are so lucky. You live in the best country in the world."
Rudy then told the students to travel around the globe, and see how the rest of the world was more destitute that the good ole US or A (has he been to Harlem? Surely......he was the mayor of New York, right?!).
He continued by saying:
"You get a chance to vote. And, if you pass it up, it's your fault."
"Mother Jones" quoted Justin Brinker, a 22-year-old junior, on what he thought on the mayor's stump speech:
"Ummm, I guess there's not a whole lot I can say about it."
NPR reported yesterday that Rudy has recently put together a Christmas-themed campaign ad that will run in Iowa.
I wonder if it's a hit on Youtube?
