I dreamed a little dream gone wrong

I know a lot of people that have Attention Deficit Disorder, and they are some of the most interesting and creative people I have ever met. I, however, seem to have the opposite problem. I am able to focus on incredibly boring material for long periods of time.

Instant classic

Be thankful, fair readers, for the cable gods have looked upon us with favor. I don’t mean back-to-back episodes of Trading Spaces every Saturday night. I don’t mean the all-too-overdue addition of VH1 to the Hoyanet lineup, enabling Behind the Music addicts from New South to Darnall to get their fix.

Letter to the Editor

In response to your article “Out and a Scout” (Nov. 14), I, an Eagle Scout, would like to address a few issues that were omitted. The issue of homosexual scoutmasters runs much deeper than the moral objection on the surface. For one, a scout’s parents have a legitimate objection to allowing a homosexual to have unlimited access to their boy four to six times a month, especially on overnight camp-outs.

The Sports Sermon

IUPUI means something, but we’re not sure what. We are also confused how St. Peter’s was able to lose to Xavier the other night; we figured they’d be friends. We can’t even pronounce Quinnipiac, but somehow they’re playing UConn next week.

Yes, it’s that time of the year again: the beginning of the men’s college basketball season.

Over the river and through the woods

As Thanksgiving break nears, I am counting down the days until I can sit on the couch and have members of my family bring me things. However, earlier this semester my mom told me that the family would be spending the holiday at my grandfather’s house in Florida, which only means one thing: road trip.

Care to buy a calendar?

Georgetown University is in the throes of an identity crisis. It is famous, but relatively poor. It is well-regarded, but slipping in rank. Solutions that address the root of the problem have ranged from fiscal cuts to a reorganization of the University’s entire mission.

This stadium is no home run

In his quest for a legacy beyond being “the mayor who isn’t Marion Barry,” Mayor Anthony Williams has made acquiring a major league baseball team for D.C. a major priority. In 2000, when the nation was still tipsy with cash from the tech boom, he pledged $200 million of the District’s money to build a baseball stadium in the city.

The Sports Sermon

Word. The Serm gave up on pro football this week after the Redskins put out the most boring NFL performance since [insert any Ravens game from 2000 here]. We vomited and left to seek sporting pleasure in other arenas.

College football sucks, too. Ohio State just isn’t fun anymore without losers like Andy Katzenmoyer around, Miami’s going to win anyway, and how about those Hokies? Wow.
