Atlas batted?

Ayn Rand liked baseball.

Actually, I don’t know whether the imperious author of Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead and deific apologist of objectivism liked the game at all, but according to a writer associated with the Ayn Rand Institute, she very well should have.

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.

Kobe!

It’s so nice to see you again. How was your summer? We’re so glad that you didn’t make that trip to Indianapolis that everyone was talking about at the end of last year. Everyone thought that taking that class would be an easy A, but instead GPAs got busted like Ike Hilliard’s shoulder.

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.

This Del’s for you

The best thing about West Coast underground hip-hop acts is that they aren’t trying to sell you an image. They just try to write engaging or, at the very least, amusing rhymes.

Obstacles at the polls

How many people would think twice about going to the polls if they knew that a person would be standing in the booth with them? For D.C. voters who are visually impaired or have limited hand mobility, and are thus unable to vote using standard methods, this is the reality of going to the polls, and it constitutes a clear infringement on their right to vote in private.
