Here’s a really good argument for coed dorms at ND. My only problem with it has to do with the author, because I find the fact that he once hooked up with a student R.A. (who then lost her job and had to move from her dorm into PW her senior year) somewhat lessens the impact of his statements about gender relations. But maybe that’s just me.

Hello?! Some damn Domer girl flew home to New Jersey to vote last week. And we’re supposed to applaud her for her civic duty? Has she ever heard of an ABSENTEE BALLOT? I’m not going to congratulate somebody on wasting money when a perfectly good alternate solution was available.

WOOHOO! THE REUNION WAS A SMASHING SUCCESS! Sorry for the lack of updates recently; I’m still recovering. I should have some stuff for you today though!

A fun story on restaurant theft. Hey, Kel… Remember when you and Diane stole the Darth Vader cut out from Taco Bell? 🙂

Damn this election. I wish Florida would hurry up and recount so I could know if I’m going to return to the US at all in the next four years. (i.e. If Bush wins, I’ll stay in the UK, thank you very much.)

Britannica.com is cool. I know I’ve already raved about “The Annotated Dennis Miller,” but you really should check out some of their other content. For example, rather than just review “Charlie’s Angels,” they provide a comprehensive timeline of women in the police force. The “Nurse Betty” special talks about the history of soap operas, and the “Girlfight” one covers the growth of female boxing clubs. Cool.

I can’t resist. Salon has a story about Dubya’s last stop on the campaign trail: Arkansas. A direct quote: “Of those who said that he didn’t have the courage to tackle Social Security reform, Bush said, ‘they misunderestimated me.’ It was not a joke.” You know what? If this guy does get in, he’s going to be a bigger laugh than Dan Quayle. Perhaps Indiana’s besmirched reputation can finally be put to rest.

I’ve been avoiding the Election issue today… but here’s another great article by my man Ebert.

Salon.com is running a very interesting story about a scientific study tying puberty to birth weight. Apparently Spanish researchers were trying to figure out why young girls are developing earlier and earlier, and this is the theory they came up with. My own experience (late bloomer; horrendously fat baby) would seem to support this. 🙂

Wow! ND has a bye week… and we move up four places on both the ESPN/USA Today Poll (we’re #12) and the AP Poll (we’re #11)! We should have bye weeks every week! 🙂
