With the Ave Maria SBA elections coming up this week, the Real Transition Team has deemed it appropriate to provide a list of candidates it endorses:

President: Tom Monaghan
Vice President: Thomas Monaghan
Secretary/Treasurer: Thomas S. Monaghan
Senator: Tommy Monaghan

We at the Real Transition Team ask that readers of this blog be sure to spread the word about Mr. Monaghan's generous decision to run for these positions. While it is true that Mr. Monaghan is not a student, and also true that he did not submit the necessary letters stating his intent to run by 5:00 pm on Friday, there is a relatively obscure passage in the mission statement that says that Monaghan, in his capacity as Chairman of the Board, Commander Corkscrew, and Head Minister of the Defense, is allowed to grace the SBA with his presence in any and all official SBA capacities, and that he is not bound by SBA deadlines, rules, or procedures.

Mr. Monaghan decided to run because Peter Ortega, a riotous 2L who is wildly popular among the infidels, was threatening to make a mockery of the school's mission by winning the election for SBA president. Now, Monaghan is confident that the school will retain it's image.
