Subdirectory-A Monthly Editorial by Chris Tasler

Subdirectory - March 1996 - Edition 1.5

Today, I got a letter frome someone in the Pacific Northwest, and he asked me what people around here like to do on the weekend. Well, it's just a matter of who you ask. Me, I hardly have any time to do anything, with all of the projects for band, speech and quiz bowl going on. But, when I can find time, I hang out with my friends, go catch a movie, or just kick back and rest. With the dullness of life here in Iowa, there isn't much to do for really cool things (big concerts, major pro sports teams, etc.), so we have some fun on our own terms.

Meanwhile, life has been simple here in Grover's Corners. (and a free e-mail from me to whoever can write me and tell me what movie I paraphrased that line from!) Yeah, I know, great prize, huh?

Well, a point of interest this year has been the Republican candidates, and I, being a big Republican supporter, thought I'd express my views. So, here goes...

Bob Dole - Probably the most experienced candidate out there. He's everybody's favorite candidate.
Pat Buchannan - Gives most Republicans nightmares. He'll bring the worst case of isolationism the country has had in years if elected. I don't really want to see the day when you can see the Great Wall of Mexico from space.
Lamar Alexander - Probably my favorite candidate. It's nice to see his "nice guy" ads, and his guest spot on "Saturday Night Live" was a big shocker. Just hope the rumors are wrong that he's dropping out.
Steve Forbes - Mr. Perot, if you're going to run for president, at least run as yourself...
Alan Keyes - He was probably going to be the dark horse, but he had too little too late.
Richard Lugar - His nuclear scare ads turned me away as soon as he came out. Apparently he had the same effect on others.
Phil Gramm - Gave up way too early. Probably would've been a dark horse if he wouldn't have wimped out after the Iowa Caucuses...
Bob Dornan - There's a reason why this guy is called "B-1 Bob," and that's because he did exactly what the B-1 does: he bombed...
Morry Taylor - "If you vote for me, I'll be your best friend. Please? Pretty-please with a cherry on top?"

Well, I've said what I've wanted, so I'll see you here next month. This is Chris Tasler, logging out.
