I make no claim to wisdom or prescience, but I had reasons not to discuss this story.
- I had nothing meaningful to add. I haven’t been talking about the assaults and death threats at McCain-Palin rallies either. I put this stuff down to C=MI,* and figure that is just the way things are.
- To the degree that I have political teeth, I cut them in the UMass SGA Senate, where I served with future actors in the Abramoff and Sciavo matters† who were in the College Republicans, which gave me a nose for College Republican bullsh&#, and this reeked of College Republican bullsh&#.
Thus. when I heard that this was a College Republican, I figured that it was a stunt which did not deserve comment.
- By the time I heard about it, the note that the “B” was backwards, and likely applied in front of a mirror.
I just don’t one of those typewriter font types who need to get a life.

†Interestingly enough, more often than not, we were on the same side in SGA Senate,a Mondale Democrat and College Republicans,against the “US Out of North America” crowd.
