http://www.ucsbdailynexus.com/opinion/2006/11813.htmlUCSB Student Body Members Display Their Distaste For President Bush
Yesterday at noon, a group of about 15 students streaked across the Arbor. They wore only George W. Bush masks. Bystanders were confused, but then they saw the banner these naked patriots bore: “Bush, end the streak of lies!” Heroes, all of them. Sexy ones, too.
They streaked to protest the president’s streak of lies in a brilliant bit of UCSB-style political activism. Santa Cruz, y’all got nothin’ on us. The protest was a reaction to the numerous lies told by the Bush Administration to the American public. Lies have been told ever since the president took office back in 2001. Remember that? It’s been a long time since these dark ages of Dubya started, but there were a few specific lies that spurred the streak.

A group of 150 students just assembled at Storke Plaza the other day to impeach this jerk. Concerned UCSB students have had enough of the president’s lies. They also feel like the media is not doing enough to expose them. The mainstream media refuses to ask the hard questions and launch the real investigations that have saved America from previous tyrant-wannabees (see: “Nixon, Richard M.”).
Who’s saving us from Bush? FOX News? That would be funny if it wasn’t true. Therefore, 15 Gauchos yesterday decided to show their discontent by turning a pun into a protest. They are sick enough of Bush to run naked across the most populated area of campus at the very busiest time just to draw attention to the lies! That’s devotion to a cause! The level of their devotion parallels the disappointment that thousands of fellow students and millions of American citizens feel toward the Bush Administration. A streak to end the streak of lies. Brilliant!
