We've got a new guy in charge, and to be totally honest, we're just not that interested anymore. Here's to opening the doors to the possibility of conservative, and frightening new policies. And here's to a system that ensures that our new shitty government will not be able to actually do anything. And here's to the minority setup that will hold the douchebag at bay, at least for now.

But mostly... most of all... here's to a total lack of desire to talk about it, over here! We're glad our co-editors have our bases covered in that department, because for all the crap it represents, and for all the lamenting we did for fear that we would end up with this guy in the big seat... well... We're just kind of tired of caring about it. We think that voting, especially when you're not entirely convinced in the voting method, or the actual impact of your vote, well.. it has that affect, apparently. So yeah, we're not too pumped with the outcome.. but really, is anybody surprised? We'd prefer to just watch our roommates, and houseguests doodle big fat doobies and shitty facial hair on the guy.

And speaking of houseguests, Team Willow has been a relatively full and happening place for the last week, with the unexpectedly extended visit of our good pal Philip Clark. Shown here eating delicious pasta, Phil arrived sometime friday afternoon with a carfull of gear to play a rock show, but had to extend his plans when he found out that his car full of gear was also a car full of expensive rust holes. During the week of his visit, pasta consumption at the house skyrocketed, along with the ibook ratio. Our time in the livingroom saw a spike in messageboard-drama related hilarity, and we even managed to sneak in a visit to our favourite food-house on Robie - RobieFood. Philip left today, and though he denied us his pasta-leftovers to remember him by, he did leave the Tuesday Doobie Paper that Mark Black bought, and he defaced, with the help of Michael.
