Spring Break
Yeas & Nays
The Daily Barometer
Issue date: 6/6/07 Section: Forum
Yea to the OSU baseball team for winning three elimination games in a row to make the Super Regional round, one step closer to the College World Series. Forget finals - buy tickets to the Super Regional, take a road trip to Omaha, and forget this term ever happened. Don't think, just do.
Nay to Dead Week. Remember, if your professors try any funny business this week, like assigning a big paper or suggesting that you attend class, you can take them to federal court.
Nay to Republican Sens. John McCain and Sam Brownback, who admitted in a presidential debate on Tuesday that they didn't read the National Intelligence Estimate before voting to approve the Iraq War. In a related story, there's no way in hell that guy in the front row of your history class who keeps talking about "manifest destiny" read chapter 10.
Yea to these senators. The real problem here is Iraq, which obviously hid those weapons of mass destruction in a really, really good spot just to make us look bad. As soon as we find them, we'll finally have a reason to have gone to war in Iraq. The system works!
Yea to graduating seniors. It has been an amazing four (five) years of rigorous (plagiarized) academic study, mature (drunken) social development and ever-important eye-opening (Africa is a continent!) to world affairs.
Nay to graduating. Who wants to enter the real world? Fail a class and come back for year six! Eventually they'll have to give you a master's degree ... or name you dean of the College of Liberal Arts.
Yea to the job search. Remember, seniors, employers are looking for enthusiasm, teamwork and evidence on Facebook that shows how cool you are based on how many friends you have and whether or not you appear in drunken photos.
Nay to an orange jail jumpsuit allegedly worn by Paris Hilton that has turned up for sale on eBay. Damn! If we hadn't donated our entire tax return to the Free Paris campaign, we might have been able to bid.
Yea to Democratic Rep. William J. Jefferson, who has been indicted in a corruption charge for, among other things, allegedly hiding $90,000 in bribe money in his freezer. Even more disturbing, the search of Jefferson's freezer also uncovered $432 worth of Hot Pockets.
Nay to Honda, which will discontinue its hybrid Accord sedan. In another blow to the campaign against global warming, Honda announced that, for the next year, it will be burning coal at its headquarters "just for fun."
