The Berry Patch: Goin’ Big, Trustee Style
March 12th, 2010That pungent old man smell wafting across campus can only mean one thing — the Board of Trustees is in town. And if the volume of Frank Sinatra tunes blaring from the Statler Hotel is any indication, they’re here to party like it’s 2007. Financial crisis? What is this, 2009? That old drag is long gone — it’s a new decade, a new economic climate. Read More “Repentance for silence is better than repentance for speaking”. This Moorish proverb could be the tagline for the 2008 movie Disgrace, in which a man discovers just this. Unwilling to repent for his sins in public, the man withdraws into the South African countryside where in his silent musings he tries to redeem himself and discovers his “disgrace.” Read More Back in the 1920s, when vaudeville ruled the entertainment scene, each troupe registered their act with the administrative office.

You Read Blogz? That’s So Sick!
March 12th, 2010I’m not really into political “blogs,” those supposed bastions of free thought and the truth. It’s not that I don’t like free-thinking and the truth; I’m going to believe that they are among us if I want to believe that, so there. It’s more that, when it comes to getting the news, blogs really aren’t enough. You take a risk when you read only blogs, or even primarily blogs. Blogs, even the most informative ones, are just opinions. There are many wonderful political blogs. I enjoy checking out the guys and gals on Politico or Talking Points Memo as much as the next person (a fair bit, but not as much as a sandwich). But, don’t forget, bloggers serve a different purpose than reporters. They might give you the truth, their version of it, a made-up version (a lie?), a quarter of it or two eggs, hash browns and a side of it. Read More

The Wonder in Underland
March 12th, 2010It has been nearly a century and a half since Lewis Carroll gave us our first glimpse of Wonderland — where we learned to let our imaginations run wild, to dream impossible dreams and to believe in six impossible things all before breakfast. In this year’s adaptation of Carroll’s nonsensical sensation, director Tim Burton takes the story and flips it on its head. Read More
