Two weeks ago, the Washington Post reported that American University is getting rid of landlines in its dorms for next fall. The move follows several other universities that have done the same thing with positive results. Other major universities, like the University of Virginia, the Univeristy of Maryland and George Washington University, are looking into the idea, too. (0) comments
Indie rock alive and well Re: "Excising the 'indie' from rock 'n' roll" [Feb. 25, 2005]. Matt Simonton based his argument on the lack of any true "indie" bands. It is true that indie no longer exist as it once did; however indie, or independent, bands have not disappeared. (0) comments
Recently, a bill was introduced in the Ohio State Senate to protect academic freedom. Doesn't that sound great? After all, everybody loves freedom. Freedom is what America is all about. Freedom is what makes grass grow, children smile and the sun shine. Then again, these guys have a funny definition of academic freedom. (0) comments
According to the free market, the value (to a student) of a nearly complete night of studying is $30. How did I arrive at this figure? Sophomore year, I was prescribed Ritalin, a mental stimulant, to counter the effects of some other medications I was on. The side effects were too unpleasant, and I ended up not using most of the bottle. (2) comments
A long while back I was asked to give a few observations about law school. I will skip to the most important eight months of your young legal career: the first year. To put it simply, the first year of law school will determine what your next two years of school will be like, what your job search will be like and what your first few years out of school will be like.

A true American hero has left us. Hunter S. Thompson defies pithy description. He was a warrior for truth, a demigod, an American genius on par with Fitzgerald or Jefferson. He spent his life chasing after the heart of the American Dream. He waded through the muck, dealing with legions of disgusting swine to find kernels of hope...proof that America was still, despite everything, mankind's last, best hope for a Good future.
