[META] ASU beekeepers subvert CNN, MSNBC Total, unrestricted ownage. Pictures tell the story better than I can:
I made a post with more pictures, as well as as some more accounts of the chaos surrounding bees and/or the presidential debate, on my personal blog. Go there now!
Many thanks to vpisteve & ARGN for the story, btw.

LOL I'll need the money after I lose my scholarship... skipping class for hunting axons? It hasn't happened yet, but if things keep getting weirder, who knows
Also I kind of lied about my post being up earlier, but it really is now. You can see a bunch more pictures at g3k.livejournal.com , or you can just direct-link to my massive post.

God, this is better than I ever expected. I gotta give credit where it's due, though:
Ens. GBrian for taking the pictures (especially the [real] Wolf Blitzer ones)
Ens. Annette, Cmdr Brian & Commodore Pegasus for being steadfast and holding that damn thing up for hours on end, including while I was off covering the Kerry rally
My printer for holding up long enough to spit out thirty-five sheets of bee dots
Secret Service and ASU security for not arresting us (although just barely)
Special thanks to Fake Wolf Blitzer aka Jimmy Kimmel's dad for punking just about everyone, including GBrian. In all honesty, we should have gotten him to help us with the bee.
Thanks so much, guys!

Just FYI, I've got a pic of the man on the right (gov. Bill Richardson of NM) with his arm around my mom and some random old woman, and he's flipping the bird. He's also drooling (but apparently he always does that).
If you guys want pics, I'll send 'em to you, but I'm not wasting MORE of unfiction's space with that.
And before I forget altogether, Excellent work, men! That's probably the best campaign picket I've ever seen!

It was actually kind of an ineffective campaign strategy per se, since most of our conversations with fellow picketers went like this:
"What's your sign about?"
"Bees."
"Who's it for, I mean?"
"Bees."
"Seriously, though, what does it mean?"
"Bees."
I'd love to see that Bill Richardson picture. One of the few states Arizona residents can rightfully make fun of is New Mexico.

Hah! Yeah... We've just got Texas to make fun of. Oh, and Colorodo. And Oklahoma. And Chiuaua. Strangely not Arizona, though.
