			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today the <em>Red and Black</em> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.redandblack.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2006/11/03/454ac60b1f44a">printed an article</a> that unmasked myself as the creator and editor of this site.  First and foremost, I want to emphasize that I did everything on this site myself.  No one else had a hand in anything you see or read.</p>
<p>So several members of our wonderful SGA owe an apology to a <a target="_blank" href="http://ruddlereport.wordpress.com">couple</a> of individuals, since they were pegged early on as the &#8220;leaks&#8221; (falsely) and were treated roughly and unfairly by the current administration.</p>
<p>I made this website in the hopes of bringing light to the wrongs within the UGA Student Government Association.  A lot goes on within SGA that many people have no clue about, and I seek to shed some light on much of the back room BS that goes on with SGA.</p>
<p>Some within SGA have accused me of making this site because I was upset I lost in the last election.  To the contrary, I ran for Vice President, but after losing, I dropped my qualms with the winners and joined their administration to help students.  I took part in this administration as Finance Director, from which I recently resigned.</p>
<p>Another myth I would like to bust right now is that my resignation as Finance Director was somehow related to this website.  I resigned as Finance Director, ironically, only hours before I was given an ultimatum by Senator Brian Dunn to shut down this site, but for separate reasons.</p>
<p>I resigned as Finance Director because of the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.redandblack.com/vnews/display.v/ART/2006/10/20/45383816d5253?in_archive=1">problems within the SGA administration regarding their expenditures</a>.  You see, last year, the <a target="_blank" href="http://guarddawg.com/content/view/63/36/">SGA overspent its budget</a>, and this term they had to make up for it.  You&#8217;d think after a boneheaded mistake like that, they would learn and correct the problem.</p>
<p>But to this day, SGA does not have an active balance sheet, a record of their current cash-on-hand.  I worked as Finance Director to aggregate this, but after months of dedicated work, realized that the members of SGA who spend our money mercilessly have no respect for the money or us students.</p>
<p>I resigned because I do not want to be responsible when the same mistake happens again, and the next SGA administration gets shorted on their budget.</p>
<p>One last lie to debunk &#8211; thank you, Jamie and Matt, for the ASSumption &#8211; is that I have no plans to run for any office during the next election.  I have been contacted about working to abolish SGA, but I have made no decision whether or not to assist.</p>
<p>In the end, I think it is up to the readers to decide whether I have accomplished my mission to inform the students.  You may disagree <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ugasga.com/2006/10/08/mark-meredith-moron/">with the manner</a> <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ugasga.com/2006/10/03/senator-of-the-week-award-benjamin-sermons/">in which</a> I <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ugasga.com/2006/10/02/pres-hosts-sga-sponsored-party-with-alcohol/">gained notoriety</a>, but I have no regrets.  I have brought attention to how the SGA does its business (very secretly), and for that I am glad.</p>
<p>And for everyone new to the site, feel free to browse the <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ugasga.com/2006/">archives</a>,  subscribe to the <a target="_blank" href="http://feeds.feedburner.com/HatinSga">RSS feed</a> to stay up-to-date, comment on any of the posts, or leave me <a target="_blank" href="http://ugasga.com/contact">a message</a>.  Thanks, and don&#8217;t worry, I&#8217;m not going anywhere!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>So, I have been off the air for about 2 weeks.  Want to know what happened?</p>
<p>Two weeks ago, I was given a threat slash ultimatum by SGA Senator Brian Dunn.  Either take this wonderful site down, or the UGA Administration would come after me.  And what would they do to me?  They were going to kick me out of school here at UGA because of &#8220;UGA Code of Conduct violations&#8221;, and go after me in court for trademark and copyright infringements.</p>
<p>So I temporarily shut down the website, because I do enjoy being in Athens, and I would hate to go home without a degree.  Why put up a fight with the administration, when they could surely kick me out?<img width="258" height="229" align="right" alt="Fuck You" title="Fuck You" src="http://ugasga.com/Pics/cashfinger.jpg" /></p>
<p>Events of the past few days have led me to come out of the closet, and give a big &#8220;F*** You&#8221; to Senator Brian Dunn.</p>
<p>More will follow on these events.</p>
<p>Thanks to everyone for the countless emails of support, you have led me to the conclusion that students really do care about how shitty our Student Government Association is.  Thanks.</p>

I&#8217;m terribly sorry.  But, feel free to add new comments to the posts to rejuvenate the site.  Thanks for understanding.
