A lot of sports today: a Wizards-Bulls basketball game and a Nats-Mets game. The fun kicked off at 3:00 pm (though we got to MCI Center at the end of the first quarter having taken our time getting downtown), and the Wizards opened up a decent lead over the Bulls, who had won the first …
This will be quick for now and fleshed-out later, but I was wholly impressed and entertained by The Hitchhiker’s Guide To The Galaxy. The movie holds its own and is very well done – I’m sure that DNA is smiling from wherever he is, as his material was given a great treatment. The cast is …
In protest of Senator Bill Frist (Princeton ’74) and his threats to “go nuclear” and change the filibuster rule, students, politicians, scholars and citizens have been staging their own filibuster at the Frist Campus Center at Princeton University. They’ve been at it, non-stop, for over 78 hours! Go, Princetonians!

In a fit of “gotta click on a link in my email” brilliance, I discovered that my Unitarian Jihad Name is The Shotgun of Reasoned Discussion. Wanna know yours? Click here.
Just a quick note in the midst of editing (and I need my eyes to take a brief break). There has been a lot of hubbub about comments made by Maggie Gyllenhaal regarding the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001. Gyllenhaal is starring in one of the first major motion pictures to address 9/11, The …
One final paper is done and submitted. The other is undergoing final (and frustrating) editing. My kingdom for better transitions!
I’ve been working on two final papers for my grad school classes that are due this week, and tonight is crunch time for both of ‘em. One of the papers has to do with the challenges posed by the USA Patriot Act to the admission of students from overseas, as well as the challenges posed …
