The End of an Era: I Have Left the Daily Illini
The rumors are true, yesterday was my last day with the Daily Illini. I’ll have audio from my time on WPGU tomorrow hopefully. As much as I’d like to stir controversy, there is nothing invidious. One, personal life is getting hectic due to a new addition around Christmas and I’m working on moving on to other things (more on that later). That, and after securing the Eric Naing endorsement for governor, I have achieved the heights no other columnist has! (His endorsement was much more amusing than mine, sorry Eric.)
Eric Naing, columnist
For Illinois Governor:John Bambenek. Blagojevich is corrupt, Topinka is (for lack of a better description) a Republican and you have no idea who Rich Whitney is. What’s a voter to do? Write in John Bambenek for governor of course!
The son of a Mongolian goat herder, Bambenek single-handedly ended Communism and escaped to America where he now works to provide AIDS orphans in Africa with an education, seriously (well, at least the last part). The only way to fix Illinois is to vote for the only man who ever beat Abraham Lincoln at arm wrestling. This Tuesday, write in Bambenek for Governor, otherwise we’ll all die.
It’s been extremely (and surprisingly) fun to work for the DI and I enjoyed it greatly. Thanks Jenette, Yoshi, and Vince.
