Students are the Best Target
FOUND by Amanda in State College, Pennsylvania
I found this facing up, on top of a recycle bin in the PSU library. The CAPS LOCK and the slowly diminishing formatting are what really draw the line between a Speech Com assignment gone horribly wrong and a paranoid rant.

don't let 'w' see this, he'll use it as evidence that Bin Laden has weapons of mass destruction ... we'll have to go into Afghanistan and ... no wait, Israel will have to ... oh hell, let's just go get high. Yeeee Haa!

Wow, the magnify is worse that the normal. Crap I can hardly read this one Frankenstien.

Oh yeah I'm number two!

Was a state college ever considered as an alternative for Washington D.C.?

" 7. We can't afford the death of six million people and rebuilding Washinton here."

Tough choice. Since we can't afford both, I guess I'd have to vote for six million deaths, though I fear the rebuilding of Washington anywhere.

Another example how we have been cowed into a state of fear by the current administration trying to instill it's "New World Order".

you can rebuild washington in canada, if you want. although we don't have many illegal aliens that could work cheap enough.. hmmm what a dilemna.

Yes, Mona, you're spot on...again!!

I think "GEORGE W" put people in a state of paranoia, NOT Washington.

Meaning...there should be a State in America, called Paranoia...

I'll comment on the first two points because after that it just gets pretty confusing.

1. Not with gas prices so high
2. Thank God I'm almost out of school then; I don't like being a psychological target. Only 3 more months of being a target, hurrah!
+ June 07, 2008 08:51 AM +
Try not to th in k about it.
Then where would state college relocate to?
Yep, I'm with the man behind the curtain.. getting high.
+ June 07, 2008 08:56 AM +
I'd hammer in the morning, all over this laaaaand
Okay, America.. let's start Canada bashing now... Naw. Too Petty.

I think there's been a state of Paranoia since long before GW.. embryonic back in the days of McCarthyism, and well nourished lo these many years. the state of paranoia is not a recent reality.

I wasn't america bashing. I happen to like most americans that i've met. I'm just commenting on our lack of cheap labour. oh man, i'm just digging myself a bigger hole. I'll just leave it at that.
i like americans. don't always like the way your government runs things, but then, i don't like the way our government runs things, either.

This Found is sort of the modern-day version of the old sign: PLAN AHEAd... with fonts!

Mona - you are just fine! Don't let 'em get you down.. You don't have to live here to recognize that there are a few problems!

Whoever wrote this Find has just given in to the rambling craziness that the last eight years has made all of us wish we could give in to. Yet we soldier on because we have to believe it can't get any worse and the end (not The End) is near:January, 20th 2009!

I like the paranoid typist's inability to use the tabs/indent ruler in Word correctly. 6 and 7 aren't lined up with the rest. I also don't like the change in font size or the use of all caps with a serif font. Bad typography all around!

Dear Mona,
Don't let the haters get you down. We'd all move to Canadia if we could, even if we won't admit it. WOOO! Take off, eh.

Your BFF,
terrieissovery
+ June 07, 2008 09:10 PM +
I beg to differ.
I would not move to Canada.

That's okay, Beg. Only people with a sense of humor are going.

I was so surprised the first time I visited Canada -- everyone was friendly!!

So a long-time goal of mine is to summer in Canada, and winter in Mexico. I'll look ya' up Mona, next summer!! :-)

You are welcome to our fine country, Terrie. And you're right, you need a sense of humour to live here. Especially when you've just plowed your driveway, and the snow plow goes by, plowing you in again. And then, you're sitting there in June, sweating your patootie off.
+ June 08, 2008 06:42 AM +
mona lisa in the louvre
we are very friendly. Very few of us bite, camelia. That sounds like an excellent long term goal, by the way. I'm in. Wanna go halfsies on a villa in Mexico, cottage in Ontario?

Sure mona!! (Ummm... I've only been to the Canadian Rockies & west of there... what's Ontario like?

Librarian in the woodwork
Canada, eh? They still get snow up there. don't they?

Back to the find: the big problem with moving Washington, DC to State College, PA is that Pennsylvania has too many of its own problem politicians already. Doesn't need imported ones.

Besides, after a nuclear attack, all the ones in Washington will be radioactive, and those of you with long memories will recall what the words "Three Mile Island" say about how well Pennsylvanians handle their nuclear materials.

Sorry Mona but I'm one American who doesn't wish to move to Canada...I like my heat wave here in the South. =)

Winston in Durham
Although I forgot to mention that I believe it is very pretty up there but I like my overexcessive hot weather.
+ June 09, 2008 08:22 AM +
fine
Hey Librarian, everywhere has problems. Worry about your own before criticizing PA about how they deal with theirs.

Thanks

It makes me laugh that someone would even compare DC to the 'city' that is State College

Dani in hiding
As a PSU student, I find this absolutely hilarious! Why would State College even be considered to relocate the capital? Still, I hope they were able to pass that class!
