Is it just me, or is the world a lot more messed up now than when we were kids? That's the question I posed to a friend of mine last week over a couple of beers at happy hour. We were talking about graduation and discussing the number of reasons we wish we were kids again, one of which being that we didn't have to be concerned about any of the subjects I'm about to discuss.

This year's Undergraduate Government of Boston College (UGBC) presidential election is a stunning example of how dirty politics really is - from small community elections to our nation's pending presidential race. Before the results were revealed late Friday evening, it seemed inevitable that the boys in blue would be taking their seats in BC's "oval office."
