U. of Md. Student Film Targets Governor

ANNAPOLIS, Md. - Tim Daly (news), a 22-year-old activist and president of University of Maryland's student body, waits patiently outside the high, black iron gate of the governor's mansion. His camera crew lurks quietly behind him.

"I was hoping to meet with Governor Ehrlich, please," Daly says, pressing the button on an intercom for Gov. Robert Ehrlich's house.

Finally, out comes a security guard. Not the governor.

So begins Daly's hunt for Maryland's CEO, depicted in his half-hour documentary "Bob & Me," a take-off of Michael Moore (news)'s "Roger & Me, " the 1989 film that shows Moore pursuing former General Motors boss Roger Smith to confront him about laying off 33,000 auto workers in Flint, Mich.

1. I love those college kids, they are so bright.

So go for it

[Rationality]

2. I wish my UF SG president was this demanding of our Governor

But they are all nothing more than a bunch of blue key-controlled beueaucrats who won't even make a peep about the University President letting our library shut down for two years.

Get Tim Daly to take over our school so he can harass Charles Young and Bernie Machen for the library quagmire.

3. Your library shut down?

I wouldn't know what to do if my university shut down the library.

What state are you in?

[Rationality]

4. University of Florida

The main library shut down for rennovations.

They argued about doing it in phases, but they wanted to save taxpayer money they say - which is fucking outrageous. I mean, I pay tuition, yet Bush has no problem finding corporate tax breaks and tax holidays. Something stinks.

I'm not even sure who let this happen. Jeb Bush? Former UF president Charles Young? It's just inexplicable that a major research university would be so cheap as to do that.
