Jack Ingram -But don’t worry, glass houses are on sale at Wal-Mart. Thanks for the letters. I felt like I just took an ethics class from Dick Cheney. Apparently, my point eluded some who wrote in, or perhaps they just bumped their heads on a few branches while descending the crazy tree. Now I see, […]

Girls never go for the good guys
At the risk of sounding cliched: nice guys finish last. It’s the truth and I, at the risk of sounding arrogant, am a nice guy. I’ve been told multiple times that I’m a “catch” and “husband-material.” Problem is that girls aren’t looking for “husbands.” Girls are looking for a “bad boy.” You know, the guy […]

Drop the name calling in political arguments
Though I have long felt that the form of argumentation that occurs on the Letters page of the Daily, which often relies on crass personal attacks (use of the term “ignorant,” or one of its synonyms is quite common), and have been pleased on the occasion that someone has written in on the issue, I […]

What's the solution?
Mr. Ingram, you are quite confused. It is keen how you bring in entirely different subjects in a feeble attempt to discredit me and my letter. Introducing discussion about attacks in Jordon is not only irrelevant in this conversation, it is an entirely new debate. You then bring in your opinion that I feel those […]

Finally: Why we pick McDonald's over broccoli
Khaled Hal Saad An “experience good” is a product or service whose true quality and fair price are only apparent until after you buy it. Products like a tri-tip sandwich at Farmer’s Market or cell phone service are both experience goods. Even if you’ve done a load of research, you’ll never know how good the […]

Students need more parking, not alternative hassles
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. […]

Dear Scott Nordholm,
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 […]

Soccer success depends on fans, too
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 […]

Carbs are no longer a four-letter word
Jessica Dean and Robin Rodriguez Don’t turn the page in reaction to what we are about to tell you. We love carbs! And soon, you too will learn to embrace the wonderful world of carbohydrates. There we said it, now was that so hard? We know the topic is a bit scary for some to […]

Middlestadt has a good point
As much as I may have disliked his predecessor’s agenda and as much as I may dislike this one’s seeming reticence about said agenda, and even as much as I may be creeped out by his likeness run weekly in the Mustang Daily, the guy has a point. We do have a driving problem. I […]

In this game, is there ever the perfect score?
Janice Edman In the endless game of love, there is a certain out-of-boundaries area on the playing field we almost all cross into at some point – maybe out of sheer boredom for the predictabilities of young love, or maybe completely accidentally. This zone I speak of, somewhere between the sides of “relationship” and “random […]
