Most likely to secede

Last spring, I was abroad in Santiago, Chile, and while I was there I dated a television producer. He was then working on a WWF-style wrestling show, the first of its kind to air in Chile. One night, during a pretty intense argument, he told me that as a television producer surrounded by beautiful people, he had options?he could date girls 10 times better looking than I was.

Picasso ducks in to ponder, titillate

When one begins to question the multi-faceted nature of inspiration and creativity, whether artistic, scientific or purely commercial, there are several things that one must keep in mind. First, such a difficult question is best left in the able hands of someone like Steve Martin, and second, any reasonable response must be tempered with a fair amount of dick jokes.

Quinn keeps on scoring

First-year field hockey forward Jessica Quinn looks like a woman on a mission when she takes to the field. She stares down the opposition and seems to run right through other players to reach the ball. So it comes as no surprise that she leads the Georgetown field hockey team in points and goals for the season.

Moving Down the Ladder

The statistics indicate that this year’s first-year class has, once again, outdone us. Its members are smarter, more worldly, were busier in high school, logged more hours of community service, scored higher on standardized tests and, from the looks of it, might even be better looking.

Band hits campus, campus hits bottle

If you didn’t make it to the O.A.R. concert on Friday night in McDonough Gymnasium, it’s likely that one of your friends did. In fact, that friend probably called you from his cell phone in the middle of the show and was probably standing right next to me, talking about how he was “sooooo wasted.

Giants and Cardinals will meet in the NLCS

Flight of faith

There was a time in my life when I harbored serious disdain for those who catered to their own irrational fear of flying in airplanes. Indeed, what could be safer than an airplane? Trains derail, cars crash, pedestrians trip on curbs or get hit by said cars.

A little Love, mostly Anger

Once upon a time, there lived a lawyer who cared. Imagine: A driven, self-serving man from a privileged background makes a name for himself as a partner at a prestigious law firm, then throws it all away to serve the unfortunate and marginalized out of a run-down basement office in the shoddy part of town.
