The Sports Sermon

It’s about that time in the NFL season. Names of quarterbacks become as familiar as Chapter 3, Monetary Policy, that you forgot to read for your Econ midterm tomorrow. Instead of the normal names?Stewart, Warner and Fieldler?we’re stuck with Tommy “XFL MVP” Maddox, the spicy Sage Rosenfels and the pseudo-dirty Marc Bulger.

NY in 2012

As I sat up in my room last night, watching the final election returns come in, realizing that our country is falling apart and that I will now have to face the first years of my post-graduate life in a conservative and semi-fascist state, I began to think to myself what positives there are for a liberal New Yorker who will return home permanently for the first time in four years this May.

Do you know what your vote means?

Taking back my life

As my voice rang out that cold, breezy night in November two years ago, my hands shook and my mind filled with images of a similar evening four years past. The entire time I spoke I felt completely removed from myself? as though I were listening with the crowd of hundreds, not speaking to them.

Letter to the Editor

In a recent article on protests over Iraq, it was mentioned that College Republicans were hanging up “pro-war” posters in response to anti-war demonstrators. This characterization is indicative of the kind of malicious stereotypes that pass for the truth about about conservatives at Georgetown.
