Dear Angry Library Patron,
I’m sorry you’re so put off to see the public library staff erect a Christmas tree. We were trying to celebrate the changing seasons and coming holidays, and it saddens me to observe the mood this jubilant act has put you in.
I might not be the library director, but I can […]

Cultural Paranoia?
November 29, 2007
Look. I’m all for “school security.” You know: metal detectors, strip searches, armed guards, bathroom escorts, police-manned machine guns that lower from the ceiling—but, really, is it fair to arrest a fourteen-year-old boy on battery charges for throwing a crayon at his teacher?
What sort of society do we live in when an incident like this […]
Just free thinking here…
November 28, 2007
Just free thinking here, but I think it would be awesome to have some sort of Conservative think tank on campus. It could be just a group of conservatives on their spare time getting together and finding ways to make the campus more conservative.
Call me a nerd, but that sounds like fun.
For instance, I read […]

It’s done! We have a couch, Computer (being built right now - to be available for all member use) and a refrigerator! Come on by and use it. Sleep between class, have a drink at cost. It’s yours to use!

Obama: Cut NASA, Moon, and Mars missions for Federalized Education
Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama released a new $18 billion education plan yesterday that he proposes to pay for by delaying the NASA Constellation program (to return humans to the moon) five years.
“We’re not going to have the engineers and the scientists to continue space […]
George Washington Thanksgiving Proclamation
November 23, 2007
Whereas it is the duty of all Nations to acknowledge the providence of Almighty God, to obey his will, to be grateful for his benefits, and humbly to implore his protection and favor — and whereas both Houses of Congress have by their joint Committee requested me “to recommend to the People of the United […]
‘phenomenal’ drop in Iraq violence
November 22, 2007
Violence in Iraq has fallen at a rate that has surprised military commanders and even one of the architects of the “surge” that boosted US troop numbers in the country this year, according to figures gathered by the US.
The figures show the numbers of suicide attacks, roadside bombings, mortar and other attacks on US […]
Kyoto University: Stem Cells from Skin Cells

Alliances In Ruins?
November 19, 2007
When the Democratic presidential candidates pause from beating Hillary with a stick, they join in unison to pronounce the Democratic pieties, chief among which is that George Bush has left our alliances in ruins. As Clinton puts it, we have “alienated our friends,” must “rebuild our alliances” and “restore our standing in the world.” […]

Why the Democrats cannot Win
November 17, 2007
Let’s face it, Democrats have not had any substance to their terms. We hear Democrats talk about Truman as if he was Ronald Reagan. Truth is he’s not because Reagan actually got our economy going where Truman could only fail. Bill Clinton let Al Quaeda bomb the basement of the twin towers and get away […]

I figured I would just throw the press release right on here. Enjoy.
Leadership Institute Trip
November 11, 2007
Six of us went to the Leadership Institute “Boot Camp” this weekend in Burnsville, Minnesota. Jake, Harald, Devon, Jae, Zack, and I all piled into a state fleet vehicle last Friday afternoon and left for Minneapolis. What should have taken 4 1/2 hours ended up talking 7 1/2 hours! On our way we had a […]
Harvard Reviews Media Coverage
November 9, 2007
Excerpt from the article:
In the early months of the 2008 presidential campaign, the media had already winnowed the race to mostly five candidates and offered Americans relatively little information about their records or what they would do if elected, according to a comprehensive new study of the election coverage across the media. The press also […]
