Tastefully Libilicious

The nouveau and öboughettoö whipsheet of the Liberal Party of the Yale Political Union

Uno

 Week of 19Jan03

Welcome back libs!  If you don’t know well now you know! This is the “Tastefully Libilicious," the new spring semester whipsheet of the libs.  If you’re like me you’re probably wondering what “Tastefully Libilicious” means. Well, it’s about “keepin’ it real (as a liberal)” but with class.  It’s much like J-Lo’s latest hit “Jenny From The Block” in which she implores us not to be “fooled by the rocks that [she’s] got” espousing that she’s still Jenny from the block (South Bronx).

As libs we must take wisdom from the sage words of the “unbeweavable” Beyonce Knowles of the hit group “Destiny’s Child”.  When asked in an interview on MTV’s pop countdown TRL to define “bootylicious” (the inspiration for libilicious) she stated something like “It’s just about being proud of and confident in yourself…mind, body and spirit.”  I would like to think that all of us here in the Liberal Party are anchored in and proud of our leftist beliefs as Ms. Knowles is in her “bootyliciousness”.

Now it’s time to get into the weekly “countdown” (names/artists subject to change):

öQuote of the week:ö

Imagine if Linda Richman of SNL’s Coffee Talk in her “I’m getting verklemped” portion of the program said to “Discuss how the lyric ‘If you a fly girl get ur nails done, get a pedicure, get ur herre (hair) did’ won the Civil War for the Union.”  It might transform lives.  Now, twahlk amongst yahselves!
