the halcyon days of college
by alex
One of the few things I miss from college is the editorial page from the campus newspaper. It was always full of misinformed, non-humorous boobs who couldn’t write their way out of kindergarten spelling primer. The paper at my alma mater was called the Daily Illini; here in Ft. Collins, it’s the Collegian. The name changes, but the content still sucks.
Still, you have to admire the freedom and chutzpah that college columnists enjoy. Today’s example is a diatribe about Christian conservatism. The quality of thought is not very high, but I was thoroughly amused by the sheer amount of flamebait rhetoric that Tim Waddingham was willing to publicly sign his name to.

Actually, I give him credit for attaching his name to something interesting and provocative. How about getting off your electronic high-horse and actually contributing something to the world of journalism, rather than just whining about it? I’m sure you’re really stirring the pot there in the ol’ Fort, with your laptop and your Frappucino. Good work.
(PS: Way to end a sentence with a preposition, blogger. Try that in kindergarten primer.)
