Jack L. Ingram III makes a classic liberal mistake in his January 24th article “Bush: tyrant, president or idiot.” Even though he refers to Bush as the Commander in Chief, he fails to remember that we are at war. This is not a policing matter; America is a war with a corrupted ideology of hate […]

Brian Eller, I hope your column on global warming was just an extreme right-wing shock article to stir up some commotion (Rush Limbaugh style), because if you actually believe in what you wrote, that’s scary. How selfish can you be to say that global warming is not a problem today? Now, I’m assuming that for […]

Sustainability Month’s theme as an “environmental armageddon” does not seem quite accurate. I attended many of the events and not once did I hear of an inevitable death to mankind. What I heard was rather how we can profitably transition our society and economy towards sustainability to ensure a healthy, resource abundant future. Many of […]

I keep re-reading Brian Eller’s article on global warming and still can’t figure out how he relates this environmental cause to the holocaust. Apparently, people concerned with the depletion of natural resources are Nazis. Good work. The problem may not be as bad as some activists make it sound, but that does not mean we […]

Cornel Morton stated in the Mustang Daily in early October that “Consistent with university policy, Cal Poly will continue the practice of placing red prints on campus when reported sexual assaults occur.” Unfortunately, the red handprints were painted over in the summer and have still not been repainted. Do we really want to wait until […]

Samantha Strom posed a good question in Monday’s Mustang Daily: “Where have all the nice guys gone?” Being myself a nice guy, I’ll explain it quite clearly. We will start at high school. If you look, you will see a majority of girls chasing after “bad” boys. Sure, high school girls say they want a […]

The staff of Downtown Brewing Co. would like to send a caveat to your aspiring journalist, Joe Sargent, who kindly used our venue as the location for his “research study.” Had Mr. Sargent delved into this research with the appropriate dose of fervor, he would have discovered that the proverbial “plastic cup” holds the exact […]

Bush Little was in the White House one day, when a “report” fell on his head. He called to Cheney Peney, and this is what he said, “Iraq’s WMDs will soon fall from the sky!” And Good Ol’ Cheney Peney got a twinkle in his eye, He suggested they go tell Halli Burton of their […]

Having retired from 32 years service at the Cal Poly Health Center in 2001, I no longer have access to copies of the Mustang Daily. I consistently read and enjoyed the Mustang Daily when I cared for ill, I provided several editorials and many letters for the Mustang Daily. I do very much miss the […]

President Baker – Man or myth? Supposedly, we have this president, President Baker, that exists to serve our university. Yet, of all my days spent on this campus, I have NEVER seen him. It’s like he’s “Where’s Waldo,” minus the candycane-striped sweater and glasses. But at least you find Waldo eventually. Who is this guy […]

Hey Michael, I can’t believe you spent the entire first half of your letter (Soapbox Diaries or Slander?) bragging about how you looked up “slander,” but still got the definition wrong. Unreal. Slander is the oral communication of injurious statements and libel is the written version. The key word in that is ORAL. Oral, oral, […]
