IVAW puts the F U in Fun!<\/p>\n<p>Yup, seems the freakazoids have themselves an election coming up.  8 candidates.  For 6 slots.  Yipee!  I love me some choice.  Now, the basic problem is sometimes it\u2019s very difficult for your casual IVAW member, fresh off being on the lam from the DoT, to discern between the candidates who are in serious need of institutionalization from those who just need to be Rochambeaued repeatedly.  That\u2019s where your friends from TAH come in. <\/p>\n<p>See, we got our hands on the 8 \u201c2009 IVAW Board of Directors Candidate Application\u201ds and I can tell you this\u2026.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re real\u2026and they\u2019re spectacular!<\/p>\n<p>So, while I still believe that IVAW should be run as an anarcho-syndicalist commune, wherein you take it in turns to sort of act as a sort of executive officer for the week, but all the decisions of that officer have to be ratified at a special bi-weekly meeting by a simple majority in the case of purely internal affairs, but by a two-thirds majority in the case of more major issues. <\/p>\n<p>Alas, they didn\u2019t listen to me. But stay tuned for our new segment spread over the next week or so, \u201cBetter Know an Asshat Aspirant for a BM (Board Member, not bowel movement).\u201d It\u2019s a long title, but it is blessedly free of anything corny, and sums up just how nuts they really are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fun, fun, fun!
