If there’s one thing worse than a school having crappy test scores, it’s expelling the few students you have who get good test scores for complaining about your low test scores.

Jokester of the Day: Scott “HHOS” Brown

Filed under:   by Xrlq @ 10:24 am

I never thought joke candidates won elections, particularly long shot ones, but Rhode Island Senator Patrick Kennedy thinks Scott Brown’s successful candidacy for U.S. Senate was a joke. Not sure whether to chalk this up to “takes one to know one” or whether Kennedy himself is in on the joke. After all, here’s a guy representing a state so puny and inconsequential that its very statehood is something of a national joke, and who owes his entire political career to sharing a surname with a dead guy who owed his entire career to two other dead guys, neither of whom would even be all that famous today if they had lived. And he’s also the guy who, during the special election our joke candidate handily won, could not even get the name right of the candidate he heartily endorsed, and who herself couldn’t spell the name of her own state. So I guess St. Patty is the authority on joke candidates.

Of all the pseudonyms I could have picked, why oh why did I settle for “Xrlq,” when Akbar Zeb would have been sooooooo much better?
