Politics or Party? Perhaps Both

Politics or Party? Perhaps Both

Students here at Miami University clung to the recent election like AIG to their bailout money. Now that the election has been over for almost a week, will students maintain an interest in politics? That has been the question on the minds of many leaders within both College Republicans and College Democrats.


To be fair, it is conceivable that O...

Yale's Results Are In

(Note: everything reported here was seen or heard directly by the author, and all opinions expressed are solely his own.)

 

Well, Obama won. No huge surprise there.

 

A bit more surprising was Yale's reaction. Upon learning of his impending victory, Yalies went wild, flooding courtyards. One obviously inebriated student was heard yelling "Vom fo...

BSU Takes Politics More Seriously Than Politicians

BSU Takes Politics More Seriously Than Politicians

In lieu of the upcoming election, Boise State’s student run lecture series, Vox Discipuli, hosted two nationally recognized pundits in a political debate earlier today. Is it ridiculous to anyone else that a small state school hosted a more cogent sounding debate than the recent vice presidential one?

 

Peter Beinart and Jonah Goldberg, editors,...

Obama Genealogy May Win Election

Obama Genealogy May Win Election

There’ve been quite a few controversies (and by controversy, I mean facetious rhetoric for rednecks) regarding Obama’s eligibility for presidency. Some say he wasn’t born in America. Meanwhile, the rest of America has been asked the question ‘Is America ready for a black president?’ and then ‘Is Obama black enough?’ Now Obama’s heritage looks as...

In honor of tonight's presidential debate, which despite some uncertainty is going ahead, plan some political fun.

The McCain Acceptance Speech Video is Heroically Long, Colorful

The McCain Acceptance Speech Video is Heroically Long, Colorful

John McCain stepped up to accept the Republican nomination for President last night on the final day of the party's national convention. The speech was less effective than say the Superbowlesque Obama event or last night Sarah Palin's experiment in truth stretching (and breaking) last night, but it did give the overall impression that McCain's a...

Where to Get Your Very Own Sarah Palin Objectification Button

Where to Get Your Very Own Sarah Palin Objectification Button

While watching the frenzied, milky-white crowd at the Republican National Convention yesterday, I couldn’t help but notice the buttons that many of the delegates were wearing to support Sarah Palin who was giving her speech that night. We’ve moved past the “Girl Power” stage, and now I guess we’re just telling it like it is. The two examples:

The Sarah Palin Speech Video is Here! Rejoice!

The Sarah Palin Speech Video is Here! Rejoice!

So thus begins what feels like Day 342 of Sarah Palin all-day every-day news coverage. Last night the self described "Hockey Mom" (which has quickly become the most annoying term in the world), addressed the Republican National Convention to accept her nomination as VP.

 

In the video you'll hear Palin charm the pants off of America using her Fa...

OTR's Field Guide for Telling Clinton from Palin

OTR's Field Guide for Telling Clinton from Palin

So Sarah Palin is in the news 24/7 these days. First she was a shocking VP pick by McCain, and now a 44 year old grandma-to-be. McCain really seems to have gone out on a limb here, obviously trying to appeal to those Hilary voters, still pissed off after her stinging loss to O-BAM-A! during the primaries. They are both in fact women, but here’s ...

Violent Protestors Get Served at the RNC

So this is a story that might have gotten a little more attention if Hurricaine Gustav didn’t turn out to be kind of a pansy and Sarah Palin’s daughter didn’t turn out to be kind of a ho. There were some intense events transpiring on the first day of the Republican National Convention, and no I’m not talking about Laura Bush and Ice Barbie teami...

Harvard Dean Criticizes McCain and Obama for Forgetting About Education

In an op-ed published today on CNN, Kathleen McCartney, the Dean of the Harvard Graduate School of Education, criticizes John McCain and Barack Obama for neglecting the issue of public education and focusing only on “the war, the economy and escalating energy costs.”

 

While she does not dispute the importance of these issues, McCartney argues t...

Obama Picks VP Hoping Old People Will Confuse Him With McCain

Obama Picks VP Hoping Old People Will Confuse Him With McCain

Obama picked Delaware senator Joe Biden, in an attempt to reclaim his lead by confusing old people. But, even if they aren't confused, it will give them a reason to still vote for an old white guy.

 

Definitely a smart choice by Obama.

 

While those hoping  for an Obama/Gore ticket will be disappointed, this isn't a bad alternative -- at all. Ob...

Brobama: Obama Site For the Common Dude

Somehow I never pictured fellow Ivy league students from Dartmouth as “the common bro.”
 

Nevertheless, two Dartmouth students created a website all about Obama made for just this kind of “dude.” Brobama.org, started by rising seniors Lee Cooper and Scott Henning, summarizes important political news into shorter, more understandable “bro” langua...

Ludacris Song Boosts Obama, Bashes the Rest

The rap community seems to be all about Obama, but the support does more harm than help. While their endorsement is probably intended to motivate the college aged, the results have been dubious.
 

Jumping on the Barack band wagon started by Nas, Ludacris released a pro-Obama video on YouTube yesterday. Unfortunately, the video was also anti-ever...

Rocking The Vote and The White House
The 2008 Presidential Race will go down in history as being one of the most influential races of all time. The elected candidate will no doubt rock US History with the presence of either a woman, an African-American or a senior citizen in office. College campuses all over the country are buzzing with talk about which candidate is best suited for

"Damn, We Were Important... 40 Years Ago"

"Damn, We Were Important... 40 Years Ago"
This week marks the 40th anniversary of the incendiary Students for a Democratic Society protests and campus-take over at Columbia University, which resulted in a police raid and 712 arrests. Columbia's protest was a galvanizing force in the anti-Vietnam-war momentum of that year, in which students played a massive role.

So why not celebrate..
