I’m writing in response to ASI president Tylor Middlestadt’s commentary about alternative transportation solving the parking problem on campus. Middlestadt’s stance against building a parking structure and/or new parking lot, along with not making cheaper parking permit prices, is ridiculous. Paying $255 a year to circle a parking lot searching for a space is outrageous. […]

The following text is taken from a transcript of Osama Bin Laden’s video he sent just before the 2004 elections. Enjoy. Oh, and please don’t share your ideas or opinions anymore. The world will be a better place without them. BIN LADEN (THROUGH TRANSLATOR): “When America allowed the Israelis to raid Lebanon, the sixth American […]

Is everyone on the men’s soccer team as sensitive as Eric Ward? One critical opinion on our terrible coach Wolfgang (and yes I say “our” because the soccer team is representative of Cal Poly of which I am affiliated) and Mr. Ward gets a little riled up. First off, Mr. Bozigar’s letter was an attack […]

Clearly, when you want to say someone was wrong to attack another, the best way to do it is to attack them. I was amazed at the sheer volume of responses to Jack Ingram’s column yesterday. Guess what, it’s HIS column and he actually managed to turn his retort into a general talk, analyzing Nick’s […]

This is in response to Scott Nordholm’s letter “Everyone has the right to be wrong.” He explains “these Muslim terrorists need not a reason to attack America.” The article already fails to address other terrorists acts committed by NON-Muslims. “Terrorist – a radical who employs terror as a political weapon.” Nowhere does it say terrorist […]

Last week, National Security Advisor Stephen Hadley admitted that our pre-war intelligence about Iraq’s possession of weapons of mass destruction was wrong: “There was collective intelligence judgment – Turns out we were wrong.” Just last month, in a motivational speech, President Bush declared, “(Americans) are determined to deny weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and […]

Mr. Ingram, I am appalled by your disrespect. So Nick didn’t go to New York in September, he went in October. Where the hell were you? Sitting safe and comfortable on your couch watching the firemen on TV? While as a 17-year-old, Nick was out there picking through rubble and dead bodies? He went because […]

While reading the Mustang Daily on Tuesday, my attention was drawn to the letters to the editor section. One letter in particular struck a nerve. Matt Bozigar who has no affiliation with the Cal Poly men’s soccer team, except for being a fan, wrote a critical piece on the coach and the team. Being a […]

This letter is in response to Jack Ingram’s article “It’s an opinion …” and “Are you a terrorist?” Jack writes, “When I applied for this position as a columnist, I did so with the intention of ‘popping’ something.” Wow. You did? This makes me think that the Mustang Daily is like Taco Bell – they’ll […]

I would like to take this opportunity to give a hearty round of applause to the Theatre and Dance Department’s Fall production of the Pulitzer Prize winning play, “Proof.” If you did not get a chance to see it last weekend (Nov. 10, 11 and 12) run to the box office as fast as you […]

Jack Ingram’s most recent column (Nov. 15) was ridiculous. Whether I agree with his point of view or not is irrelevant; in the words of Voltaire, I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it. However, I must ask that if Mr. Ingram, […]
