Did anyone see The Daily Show tonight? If not, watch it tomorrow night at 10:30.
So why was the show so great? Well…
1) The first 12 minutes of The Daily Show was about blogs.
2) During that segment, a clip featuring Bill Press was shown.
3) If that wasn’t enough, Lewis Black was on the show. If you weren’t at the UNO College Democrats meeting on Valentine’s Day, this may not mean much. Let me explain. Last Thursday, Lewis Black was in Omaha performing at the Funny Bone. Before the show, Gary and Matt happened to run into Lewis. Gary had brought a Jon Stewart button with him to the show and handed it to Lewis. Lewis took the button and said, “I’ll give this to Jon”. I’m not sure if that button ever made it to Jon, but there is a small chance that Jon Stewart is possession of a UNO College Democrats button.
If you forgot, Bill Press bought a few buttons from us. He was actually wearing the Jon Stewart button after the Truman Dinner.
So, two of our most famous “customers” were on The Daily Show tonight. If we are lucky, Jon Stewart has seen the button.
How sweet is this. We are going to be known world-wide for our buttons. Way to start a trend guys. Thanks Ryan for the button machines, and thanks whoever thought of the button, What a great idea. I say we start selling them on ebay and get an international customer base. Everybody in Europe would want a Fuck Bush Button. I still need to write to Ellen and we can send her some buttons. I am so excited!!!
this is pretty neat
Ok Ryan,
When are we having another button making party and when are we taking our sales natinonally to other cda and yda chapters? I think that if we offer they will buy. This has the potential to become a perpetual fundraiser for future UNO Chapters. Maybe we could put on a forum about youth in politics their beliefs, opinions, what motivates them to get involved and most importantly to vote and invite Jon Stewart and Bill Press, Lewis Black and others. What do You think?
Ryan,
Drop me an e-mail sometime. I’d like to see if we can get some of those awesome buttons circulating in Lincoln! Thanks!

Robin-
The button making party is saturday. I think afterword we are having another party too.
Stephanie-
will do.
Thanks to both Ryan and John for responding to me. Our next meeting here at UNL is Tuesday (the 22nd). I’ll be sure to mention both the buttons and John’s (awesome) plan to exchange ideas. Also, the meeting is at 7pm at the Union and of course, you’re all welcome to attend if you’re in town, though I’m not sure how exciting/important it’s going to be. We’re probably just going to dicuss the convention and officer elections for our chapter. THANKS AGAIN GUYS!
