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.

The Sports Sermon

Fie! We cannot contain our odium for the team that hails from the hamlet previously named New Amsterdam. We decry all those sportsmen donning pinstriped suits and jaunty blue caps whose arrival means the raiding of our small burh. Harvest after harvest, the blasphemous prudhommes George Steinbrenner, Brian Cashman and Joe Torre impose unfair tallage all o’er the land, pillaging our finest base-ball men for their squadron and leaving us with only a few beggared peasants with which to fill our rosters.

A broad at home

Every day can be a miracle, if only we let it. Of course, wallowing in self-pity and indulging our victim mentality, is so much easier, so much saucier. Who doesn’t want to deny the silver lining, the pleasant surprise that may lurk behind a failure? After all, embracing it could lead to a certain degree of happiness.

Let’s face it. Midterms are starting, and some of us just don’t have the time for full-on cultural revolution. Yet even in the downtime of a revolution, we must still try to keep the hearts and minds of the people. To keep the spirit alive this week if you are too tired to head out to a rock show or check out a museum, hit up a local video store and check out some flicks that have been wrongfully ignored by the masses.

Fakin’ it

It’s 11 p.m. on a beautiful October night of last year. The Yankees have just made another ridiculous comeback off Byung-Hyun Kim and the Diamondbacks in the World Series. As I’m about to head out to drink away my sorrows, I find myself checking away messages on AOL Instant Messenger.

Confessions of a communications director

I’ll admit it: I was the one who suggested the classy-sounding titles. It was my feeling that the more seriously we took the Georgetown University Student Association campaign, the more important we could pretend it was. To avoid internal struggles, the candidate did not want to designate a “Campaign Manager.

There are disabled Hoyas, too

Most Georgetown students are not at the mercy of broken elevators, sullied ramps, unmarked paths or complex directions when going to classes, dorms or the cafeteria. Physically disabled students shouldn’t be either, but the University’s record of providing adequate accessibility for mobility impaired students is mixed, if not dismal.
