Three things:
 

1) Sad about the election results?  Go down to the Main Green before 1 PM, and let one of the dogs from the Heavy Petting project slobber all over you.  It won't make you feel better, because there's no hope for you if you voted for Robot McCain, but it will make me happy to see a bunch of Republicans covered in dog spit.  You don't have to be a sad Republican to pet the dogs either -- supposely, hanging out with dogs prevents college depression or something:

"Do you miss your best friend back home? Do you like to be slobbered on? If so, join Brown staff and faculty members--and their dogs--on the Main Green today, Wednesday, 11/5, from 11:30am to 1pm for some heavy petting! This stress reduction program provides students the opportunity to take some time away from their day to relax by petting and playing with dogs. Brought to you by Health Education."

2) Want a free back rub that doesn't end in someone trying to charge you $20 for further contact?  Dog drool not for you?  Read fast and run down to the Memorial Room (2nd Floor of Faunce) for the BURP Wind-Down Wednesday free backrub session.  Noon - 1 PM.

3)  It's about freaking time that American had a president who isn't a pasty white guy.  I hope Obama has success in making his promises to the public a reality and isn't completely stalwarted by congress in his attempts to make change happen.
