I want to blog so badly that I could probably jump through your computer screen, reverse Mary Poppins style. Due to Satan (“international trade economics”), I cannot. I will be studying the Heckscher-Ohlin Model — I kid ye not, noted in second reference as the HO Model — in the library. But look for post-Tuesday, [...]
The weather on September 11, 2001 was perfect. Anyone from Washington to New York will tell you this. The Mid-Atlantic lives for the NFC East and perfect fall days — clear, crisp, weightless, with dark blue skies and tinting leaves — and September 11 was one of them.
Our frequent readers (all four of you) have probably noticed it’s been rather quiet ’round these parts. I wish I could continue to use the excuse that I’m still reeling from finals, but that’s been weeks now, and it’s time to get back in the blogging game. I’ve expanded my horizons a bit and am [...]
Good ol’ Dierks Bentley reference. This morning’s links are heavy on the sports, but you’ll get your politics in there, don’t you worry. From ESPN.com, the Tar Heels beat Michigan State pretty handily in last night’s championship game, but no one really cares since everyone’s brackets are already ruined, and baseball and the Masters are [...]
I’m coming off a great weekend in DC preparing for my internship this summer. Here are some links for your post-Palm Sunday, first Monday in April morning. Keeping alive its independent and impartial streak, InsideVandy.com assures us that Vanderbilt Student Government is protecting our interests. President Obama is not too sure of all the nuances [...]
Philosophy of the Internet age? Hope you were all sufficiently April fooled yesterday. Now we have to get back to the other boring 364 days of the year, when mean, cold-hearted pranks aren’t acceptable. Still, aren’t you a little worried one of my links might be a Rick Roll? Nashville liberal blogger Ilissa Gold sounds [...]
Another day, another dollar. That phrase takes on an entirely different meaning when you are an unemployed college student. David Rutz at InsideVandy.com has the story on Vanderbilt women’s basketball defeating No. 5 Kansas State yesterday. Over at the Weekly Standard, Stephen F. Hayes can’t get access to a government report on released Gitmo prisoners [...]
Another week of blogging begins with another week of daily links. Go forth, read, and be educated. InsideVandy.com reports that Senator Bill Frist will be speaking at the University Club Thursday evening. John Rich has had a whirlwind of a year and the result is a great new album, according to Tennessean writer Cindy Watts. [...]
Here’s a little good times for a Friday afternoon — we’re working on the Torch this afternoon so get ready for the good times next week. What if Bush had given wrong region DVDs? A sort of heartbreaking collection of reactions to Natasha Richardson’s death — far less because her talent and more because it [...]
I’ve been up the last several nights studying for the mother of all midterms today. Wish me luck, then check out these links. Then wish me more luck. InsideVandy.com reports on last night’s Vanderbilt Student Government transfer of power. George Leef at NRO’s Phi Beta Cons blog says there’s an imbalance between research and teaching [...]
