[edit]A tale of two candidates
[edit]- Correspondence with Vermin Supreme

1. Did you notify Randall Terry beforehand that you had planned to glitter bomb him?
Altho , I have no doubt that the media savvy Mr. Terry, being every bit the media whore as myself, might willingly go along with such a stunt, this was not the case.
I did meet Mr . Terry , in Boston during the Democratic National Conventionin in '04. There was electricity in the air, it seemed there was a little bromance vibe going on. I was given the distinct impression that he wanted to perform fellatio on me. We were being drawn to each other's undeniable charisma. Altho I despise everything he stands for........ I guess we are like frenemies or something.
Obviously, we were chatting each other up before the debate, I told him. as always, it was a mixed pleasure.
You should know , that at the debate , all the candidates took to the rest room, before the stage. It is there that I offered , loudly, to have ' homosexual gay sex' in the lavatory stall with him. He declined. That was, however, before the magic fairy dusting.
He took his glittering like a man, a gay man. I don't know if the fairy dust turned him gay right away, but he took his medicine, and he seemed to enjoy it on some level.
Terry himself in his response blog post said ,
"I confess...it appeared to have no impact on me becoming homosexual...! " http://us4.campaign-archive1.com/?u=0be4082226c4e80d2b7582bef&id=145b959d24
Which , if I'm reading it correctly, seems to indicate he already was?
I suspect , if we meet again, it will be cordial.
I did not even know I was going to use the technique , until the night before. I was in bed, when I sorta remembered hearing about the glitterbombing, of Newt's office, earlier in the year. I was certainly trying to figure out something special I could do for Mr. Terry, and that popped into my head. It beat my fallbackplan, the penis shaped water pistol I used on the Springer Show.
It was simple , elegant , and effective. In retrospect, I might have gone with a larger flake, maybe a little tinsel, but life is too short for regrets. I tried to time it for minimum disruption of the proceedings.
It was the confluence of circumstances : Myself running as a Democrat' Mr .Terry running as a Democrat. Our being alphabetically seated next to one another on the diaz. Him being a vicious homophobe activist. Me being an unpredictable absurdist activist.
You should also know that I am seeking Secret Service protection, based on what I believe is a credible threat made against me , immediately after the debate, by one of Mr. Terry's supporters. The man repeated his threats against me, to others in the auditorium. My dear mother had to witness this , and be frightened for her son, as a result.
2. Do you actually plan to write-in Terry as you said during the forum? A. It depends how gay he gets.
3.Q. Would you glitter bomb President Barack Obama or any other politician if given the chance?
A. Let me be perfectly clear in saying, for the record, that this was my first ,and last, glitterbombing.
My camPain is, and has been for over 20 years, heavily predicated on my ability to achieve a proximity to the frontrunner candidates. In order to properly serve my constituents , I need not only to get close enuf to frontrunners, to invade the photo frame, I need to be able to position myself close enuf, so that I can ask a wacky question, with the hopes of eliciting an answer. I can tell you, this is difficult as it is, what have you, with the Boot on the head , and the Hulk fist flag crotch appendage, and such. (Speaking , of which, I call your attention to 03:52 to see my encounter with candidate Obama's Secret Service detail. They did , in fact, declare a national Security Zone, right there and then, in order to prevent me from shaking Obama's hand and asking a stupid question. http://www.livevideo.com/video/A7E12E1E905D473CA9F35624B270591D/obama-huckabee-supreme-1-4-08-.aspx?lastvcid=499016 ).
If I were to be pegged a serial glitterbomber, this would be even more difficult.
So my message to all the frontrunners' campaign staff in New Hampshire:
"You should definitely let your candidate shake Vermin Supreme's hand , and for sure answer some stupid question about ponies. He won't throw glitter on you , and it will make your candidate look like a good sport. Why don't you give him a call and make arrangements today !!!"
Thank you. My name is Vermin Supreme.

William Saturn to statechair@lpcolorado.org Jun 29 Chairman Goodman,
I am a reporter for Wikinews, the free news site.
I am doing an article on the Libertarian state parties choosing not to place Chase Oliver on the ballot.
Why is the Colorado party not placing Oliver on the ballot and does it plan to nominate someone else?
Thanks,
William Saturn Accredited Wikinews Reporter
Review
[edit]Unfortunately, some stuff has unexpectedly come up for me over the past few days, and I doubt I'm going to be available for the rest of the month to finish this job (I could've done it earlier in the month). I've asked Cromium if they'll be available to pick this up. Sorry. Heavy Water (talk) 05:22, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

Not good
[edit]@Me Da Wikipedian @William S. Saturn won't be very happy with this adjustment just saying.... BigKrow (talk) 18:00, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- @BigKrow its 8 weeks old and they asked for 2 weeks 2 weeks ago so...at some point William S. Saturn does not have a get out of jail free card because they don't like when their stories go stale... Me Da Wikipedian (talk) 18:46, 25 August 2024 (UTC)
- How long can we await a review? I don't think we should await any longer. I much prefer the article deleted ASAP. Indeed, once it's published, the article would be too wilted to be fresh anymore, regardless of originality. Also, there's not much fresher development on the article for weeks.

Outdated by now
[edit]Biden dropped out of the race, so Kamala Harris became the Democratic nominee instead. Well, the headline says June 2024, and I'm not a reviewer, so I might not expect much. Still, my concerns still stand. George Ho (talk) 00:20, 2 September 2024 (UTC)
