Earlier this morning, I went over to George Mason University, in Fairfax, VA just to see how big Obama is with the students. Because we've heard that the youth are going crazy for Obama.

Here are the stats: Total cars in parking lot: 328 cars with Obama bumper stickers: 10 (3% of cars) cars with McCain bumper stickers: 4 (1% of cars) If college students are really that...

Tensions and anxiety are high right now and everybody wants to purge. But as the mods are constantly pointing out there are way too many vanities clogging the system.
