Jack Ingram: I’ve liked some of your pieces quite a bit. I especially liked the ones in which you swing about with a double-edged sword. You were mustering up some fine style near the end of last quarter, the opinion section was finally gaining some traction. Others … well weekly can get annoying, and your […]

Tylor Middlestadt’s “Confronting the silent crisis” continues the trend of misinformation in otherwise credible newspapers and magazines. Middlestadt writes about how “the Greenland ice sheet is melting faster than ever before” just like other articles I have read in National Geographic, Scientific America and Time magazine. However, none of those articles mention the fact that […]

By the very nature of being a university we already incorporate technologies related to our studies. No major teaches obsolete material (intentionally). By isolating the technology requirement away from major programs the technological component of an Area F class either omits practical applications, or it teaches them at a remedial level compared to topic specific […]

Some writing basics for Mr. Eller Brian Eller’s “America’s most outrageous congresswoman” article scarcely addressed the issue of Cynthia McKinney and rather continued on as a rant about racial profiling. Perhaps a more suitable title would have prepared the reader for this campaign, which summed up the rest of the article. Eller, all I have […]

Brian Eller’s April 11 column on racial profiling makes several absurd statements regarding the recent port controversy. Specifically, he refers to “the President’s port deal” in which “the president offered to hand over security of our ports.” What is the basis for this remark? After all, the White House’s position is that Bush was unaware […]

I have always enjoyed political debate/discussion in any forum. The Mustang Daily is no exception. In particular, Mr. Eller and Ingram are something I read whenever featured. That said I believe Mr. Eller got a little distracted on his Op/Ed piece. The first portion is enlightening even humorous, Mr. Eller details the actions of Rep. […]

All right, now I’m pissed off. I don’t know about how other people feel about this, but I am about ready to go postal over this issue of illegal immigration. These little rallies they have been having over the last couple of weeks are getting old really fast. Here’s a word for illegal immigrants: Stop […]

While facebooking I noticed that the “Under 4” people are trying to further spread their hatred of drinking. They spent perfectly good money on putting an ad on Facebook. I thought the lame posters and ads in this fine paper were bad enough. I hate the stupid “Under 4” campaign that Cal Poly has. It’s […]

I am simply shocked at how people are reacting to the fact that the government wants to criminalize ILLEGAL immigrants. Don’t get me wrong, but aren’t you a criminal when you commit an illegal act. Therefore, all ILLEGAL immigrants are already criminals. Now, does this mean we should round up all the illegal aliens in […]

As a credit card-carrying member of the Aryan race, a blood relative of Native Americans and a descendent of migrant monkeys, my opinions on immigration are instantly relevant. America always has crappy jobs. So we import: Indentured white guys to farm, black slaves for cotton, Chinese for railroads, Irish for drinking I guess, Italians to […]

I have a few things I would like to address. First off, thanks for canceling fight night five days before the scheduled date. Second, I don’t understand how it takes three whole months for you, the director of student life to see that an event (such as Fraternity Fight Night that has been widely advertised […]
