It was pie and ice cream on the Potomac again this afternoon as Kevin Homiak led his second S.A. press conference. A few notes worth mentioning: 1) Mixed berry pie with french vanilla ice cream. Orgasmic. 2) I asked if any progress had been made on any of Vishal’s three goals for the remainder...

S.A. Press Conference II: Return of the Pie
Greta "The Enforcer" Twombly Resigns
Greta “The Thumbscrew” Twombly has resigned her post as President Aswani’s Chief of Staff. She claims that Aswani has “lost friendship and respect.” Whew. Senator Dobson posted her resignation letter here. It has the tone of a jilted lover’s lament, actually. Very touching: I began this year with such hope with such a...

S.A. "News" Update
Reports of the S.A.’s demise have been exaggerated. But not greatly. The Student Association government at Our Fair University took the wise step of not having a meeting on election night, and real news has been pretty scarce while everyone recovers from their Obamangover.

Some Basic Answers
Let me take a moment to answer two of Hunter’s four “open questions” about Senator Dobson’s bill–specifically, the third and fourth. Will it encourage student orgs to look elsewhere for funding so as to avoid scrutiny, red tape, public display of rejection, etc? We can only hope. Anyway, I doubt they’ll look elsewhere in...

Anonymous and "Journalistic standards"
It seems that Senator Dobson has treaded into dangerous territory. The SA attack dogs are out in full force going after Dobson’s coverage of a seemingly harmless incident that Vishal and his minions have balloned out of control (read: here, here, here). Because of this, Dobson is getting some real gems in the comment...

Your Two Minutes’ Hate Begins Now.
Over at Inside the S.A., fellow comrade-in-blogs Logan Dobson has posted the most flameworthy (leading) question in the history of blogging at GW: Why do you despise our student government? Witness, in the comments section, an orgy of execration the likes of which Our Fair University has not seen since, oh, the last time...

Senator Dobson Gives Us All Hope
Newly elected CCAS-U Senator Logan Dobson, a devoted libertarian (with some small conservative tendencies), has started a blog where he will be giving his thoughts on the innermost workings of our student government. Inside the SA is the blog. It has been added to our blogroll. His most recent post discusses the transition dinner....
