Well I was hoping to do a couple of updates but I am working on two fairly good stories for the paper before I leave. One is a player from my college who got drafted by the Phillies and the other is about a new student ID/Visa check card program.
That plus my finals are holding me back a little.
A couple of thoughts though on recent political events:
Though Letterman's joke was tacky I still blame Palin for dragging her daughter into it. The fact that she constantly drags her children into political debates or photo-ops is in my opinion disturbing.
I have been following the Iranian election quite a bit. Fivethirtyeight.com has some good stuff on it. I need to learn more about Iranian politics but it looks to me to be blatant voter fraud. The Iranian people are more modern and liberal than the media portrays them.
Wrote a speech for my class on why democracy and voting is wasteful. I don't particularly believe this myself but I love playing devil's advocate. Check out Brian Caplan's book The Myth of the Rational Voter.
