Your turn: Unite! success measured in radical ideas, not vote count
May 18, 2009The UNITE! party and its supporters did not lose this past Thursday. I think we won. Clearly, we did not literally win the election, but our impact has and will be felt. Call it socialism, anarchism, the best thing you've ever heard, or the worst thing you've ever heard; whatever you call it, you cannot deny that we ran a truly radical ticket. Radical in the sense that we advocated for grassroots democratic change, true power to the people. We were outspent almost 20:1, less experienced, and under-endorsed. Even against these odds, we got about one-third of the voting body to say, yes. I want to give myself a chance and I am ready for something new on our campus. This is truly a win. One-third of the voting student body came together and said they are tired of being falsely represented, and they are ready to represent themselves.

'Angels & Demons' improvement despite formulaic, ridiculous plot
May 17, 2009The Da Vinci Code is easily one of the worst movies made in the last five years. Everything that could possibly be done well in a movie - writing, acting, directing - was done poorly in The Da Vinci Code. The idea that men that are as smart and talented as Tom Hanks and director Ron Howard would want to make a movie even tangentially related to it is an insult to both of their careers and to cinema. However, the popularity of the film and the Robert Langdon books by Dan Brown made the sequel Angels & Demons inevitable.
