These are the kids who got up in school assembly and spoke on Armistice Day and were captains of teams and organized class projects to do good works,

So what else is new? This is our biggest mistake, people. We let ourselves be governed by the same people we wouldn't let into our keggers.

Um Bush? Motherfucker's whole college career was nothin' but a keg party.

I wouldn't let Bush into my kegger either. Fucker'd get a few beers in him and start trying to 'save' everybody or making faces at the mirror.

Government (including activism) is the province of weenies, is what I'm saying here.

Yeah pie, and when I was in college my friends and I had a strict "no frat boy" rule at our parties. We considered being in a frat a license to be an asshole.

Oh, and the article needs more Krebsbach. ;)

His "military career" too, from the sound of it.

My college only had one frat, and that frat had no house. They were basically a bunch of guys from Brooklyn who liked getting drunk and wearing matching hats, so they were OK. The save-the-world contingent was no fun at parties either. They'd interrupt your buffalo wings and beer to tell you how you were espousing poultry torture and enslaving third world hop farmers. Then they'd wander away and wonder why nobody 'understood' them. Everybody understood you fine, Dudley Do Right, they just didn't like you.

So what have we learned here? Both right-wing and left-wing zealots hould be barred from parties. Best to stick with Libertarians, the apathetic and the disillusioned if it's a good time you seek.

Huh. I thought I'd come in here and find discussion of the article. I'm sort of disappointed. Never mind.

We are. The passage I quoted in my first comment is from the article. It caught my eye.
