Someone finally said it

That's right if you don't vote for Barack Obama you are a racist....

Well it's not that clear cut, but historically the nation has voted heavily Democrat when there is even an inkling of a financial crisis, so Obama should have this one in the bag. Problem is, he doesn't; Here's why.

Similar anecdotal evidence was in a Newsweek feature by Christopher Dickey a few months ago.

So this election is looking more and more like a fight to determine not just the nation's future, but this nation's identity. Can the nation get over racism enough to elect a black man President? Because really the McCain campaign is slowly hitting rock bottom, and it's not even the debates yet.



You know sexism wouldn't be as much an issue if Hillary were nominee.

Goddamn Hipsters

At least hip-hop and 90's rock were shocked and pretended to be mortified when their cobbled together fashions became hip and the norm.

I don't have nearly enough swears to express my contempt for modern popular culture, but it pales in my deep loathing and anger at the corporate versions of said popular culture.

Case in point this ad by J.C. Penny's:



I love the movie. John Hughes is a genius, but that commercial is an atrocity, right down to the pink Nirvana shirt.

And that wack cover of Simple Minds. It's not a difficult song, how do you fuck up that song?!? Target deserves some responsibility for mangling a Beatles song every few months, thus making this horror allowable to the other culture-less corporate hive minds.

Score one for the White Man

Looks like OJ is going to jail.

The World Isn't Ending Because of a Physics Experiment....

it will end because of a half-assed experiment, which this one is not.

This site does a good deal to deconstructing the mystery of the Haldron at CERN

But seriously the actual experiment won't have it's test run for about a week. And the real full power experiment won't happen till late October.

The absolute worst that could have happened last night was that a beam of energy took out a concrete wall and somehow hit a plane full of babies and kittens.

Yes the Doomsday Clock is at 5 till midnight but it was closer all throughout the Cold War.


Besides i have it on good authority that you still have 1563 days to live.

Old Policy, New Strategy

While I am ambivalent about a hat and hood policy on campus (no one has yet to give me straight answer on how removing a hat is nothing more than a false sign of "respect"), I disagree with the method of trying to strongarm students in college.

Mostly, I am amazed that OSS doesn't know how to Photoshop properly or even use MSpaint to get rid of a web site name on a graphic that directs you to a London based grime band.

You can listen to the the sponsor of Morehouse's Dress Code and Respect Policy at their MySpace page here.

First Post!!!! Woo!!!!

It is the opinion of this Maroon Tiger editor that it is sweaty as bollocks in Atlanta today...

Not the real Allman Brothers, but youtube could care less about 70's prog rock.
