Know when to quit
Oct. 24, 2005As public criticism of President Bush's nomination of Harriet Miers for Supreme Court justice reaches new heights, he is reasserting his unwavering confidence in his nominee. At the same time, Bush refused requests from a number of senators to view documents detailing Miers' advice to the president during her time as White House counsel. His refusal to make needed concessions and offer Congress more information strikes a new blow to the president's nomination. Although The Post has no hard-line stance on the Miers nomination in general, Bush's best option at this point is probably to recognize the political weaknesses of the nomination and replace her with an alternative candidate.

Out of proportion
Oct. 24, 2005Some Ohio University faculty members are being awarded well-deserved mid-year raises for serving as the university's backbone while providing the essentials of quality higher education. However, the small percentage raise is inadequate and when compared to OU President Roderick McDavis' bonus could lead faculty and students to question the university's committment to its most important employees.

Bush's failures merit public response
Oct. 24, 2005I did not agree with the invasion and occupation of Afghanistan, but that paled in comparison to the manipulation of intelligence and the subsequent deception that led to the invasion and occupation of Iraq. Most notably the shaky intelligence that Saddam had ties to Al-Qaeda and the never found weapons of mass destruction.
Goalie predicts team's success
Oct. 24, 2005Ohio hockey goalie Ryan Baksh, an Ontario, Canada, native, has come a long way to be a Bobcat. He has been a consistent wall between the pipes both this season and last for the Bobcats, and success in both the team's regular season and postseason will rely heavily on Baksh's performance.

Buffalo Wild Wings Grill and Bar
Oct. 23, 2005Last week, Ohio University President Roderick McDavis met with local bar owners in an attempt to persuade them not to open before Saturday's 10 a.m. Homecoming Parade. McDavis' proposal was flawed from the beginning because it gave bar owners nowhere near enough time to change plans and gave them no incentive to open later anyway. It is insulting to the owners, as well as to Athens residents and visiting alumni, that McDavis felt it was his duty to impose his wishes on local businesses in such a brazen manner. McDavis' conduct in the matter is a poor representation of his administration.
