Quick Sprint
Andrew F. Adams gets an F for effectiveness. He continues running his presidential ads in The Daily Cal, apparently without noting that the Cal in Daily Cal stands for Californian. Okay, you convinced us to vote Kerry. Yay! Please note the complete lack of election effect.
Some Welsh guy compares the Bush presidency to Hitler's reign. Unfortunately, he writes a contradiction in himself, by writing of Hitler and, presumably, of Bush, "He was criticized heavily abroad, but his nation did not feel particularly fond of the opinions of foreigners anyway." Dude, you're Welsh. If what you say is true, we're not going to care.
We know that the world was unwilling to watch one nation after another be invaded and fall to him, and declared war on him.
Too bad the world forgot Poland.
And, of course, two crazy editorials. The first, on shirts, says "And if the university does not allow the shirts to be sold on campus, they will be distributed through other means." So what's the problem? The shirts are distributed, yet the university is in the clear.
The second, on muslim questioning by the FBI, says:
We are not attempting to dictate how the FBI should operate, but the bureau should find other less threatening ways to understand the religion, not blindly associate local followers with terrorism. It is this kind of ignorance that breeds hatred.
Well, if people answered the FBI's questions, wouldn't that decrease the FBI's ignorance? To almost quote some Simpsons episode from some time: "That's how you learn things. You ask."
I am not attempting to dictate how The Daily Cal does its editorials, but it should do as I say.
