Revenge of the bourgeoisie

My burgeoning liberalism is having a tough time compromising itself with my general distaste for the masses. I want to reach out to people, to help people, to appreciate their woes. But this is hard, because they keep pissing me off.

People are idiots, and they smell.

Singer-Suckwriters

Of all the stupid labels that the music industry uses to describe its product, there are few more pigeonholing than “singer-songwriter.” As far as labels go, it’s descriptive enough. I mean, people called “singer-songwriters” generally both write songs and sing.

Hoyas skin Kiwis, 87-53

New Zealand select visited McDonough Arena last Thursday and performed the country’s traditional Haka dance of intimidation before tipoff. Forty minutes later, Georgetown had beaten the Kiwis, 87-53.

Apparently, it wasn’t that intimidating.

Junior forward Victor Samnick was the story for the Hoyas, finishing the game with 13 points and 15 rebounds for his second consecutive double-double.

Jewel’s back. Why? O God, Why?

It’s been five years since Jewel foisted herself upon the cultural consciousness of this great nation with her breakout album, Pieces of You. The mega-success of “Who Will Save Your Soul? and “You Were Meant for Me” soon led to a spoken-word album, a plethora of softly-lit black-and-white photo shoots and a strange nationwide awareness of the fact she slept in her car while working her way to the top.

Can’t touch this

This past weekend, I had the great opportunity of attending the Gloria Steinem Leadership Institute at the University of North Carolina. If the name of the event was not cause enough for chagrin, thanks to my right-wing neighbors, the troubles I met on my way down certainly added fuel to the fire.

Paul McCartney drives home

Paul McCartney has one of the most easily-recognizable voices in rock ‘n’ roll. We’ve grown up hearing his voice crooning to us over the radio, and any new McCartney album’s vocals will have the familiarity of an old friend. In his new release, Driving Rain, McCarney’s natural compositions and his simple, beautiful lyrics feel like home.

Dying with dignity

Last Tuesday, Attorney General John Ashcroft authorized the Drug Enforcement Administration to take punitive action against physicians who prescribe lethal drugs for terminally ill patients?the doctors’ licenses would be suspended. This action, which is being challenged by the state of Oregon, represents a striking lack of compassion and understanding of how physicians help their patients to die and risks making the last days of the terminally ill a time of pain rather than comfort.

Philosophers? Sorcerers? It’s all Harry Potter

While directed by an American and produced by a Hollywood studio, the new Harry Potter movie is unmistakably British. To be more precise, it is a British movie with lots and lots of money and special effects, which makes it some strange L.A.-London amalgam.
