"This isn’t surprising. The Bloomington community has patronized and looked down on the student population for as long as I can remember. Don’t let it bother you, though. They are close-minded, self entitled idiots who carry on their years in a small college town."

"Of course we should not turn victims into criminals but the problem is while some people go too far in that direction, others go too far in the other direction. They assume that every woman who claims to have been raped was in fact raped. They use the word “victim” when the word “alleged victim” would be more appropriate because an investigation is ongoing. Yes there are many stories of people being jerks and blaming the victim. But there are also many stories of innocent men being thrown in jail because people were too quick to believe someone who lied about being raped. So I agree with parts of the article but I definitely think it is only part of the story."

"The people of Afghanistan just underwent their elections amidst death threats, bombings, and attacks. And we have whiners here that complain that our process is not easy enough? And then blame it on republican politics? Too rich!"

"Adorable. They think they matter."

"This is absurdity on stilts. Where were these cries from media elites for “sanity” when billionaire George Soros rent-a-mobs trashed our national Mall? They and their Islamo-fascist co-conspirators routinely assaulted peace officers and committed acts of public mayhem during their kristalnaght-style, anti-Semitic gutter riots (masquerading as “peace” protests) to achieve their political agenda."

"It is sad that you got so little from exhibits such as the panda habitat, where there are two (until recently three) pandas roaming and sleeping and eating. Did you read the information and learn that each panda eats 20 to 30 pounds of bamboo per day? There are many exhibits you did not visit and many animals you seem to have just wandered by without noticing. The tigers, the orangutans, the elephants, etc. Are there any zoos that you do like?"

"This is the funniest column I have seen in a long time. Young man, you must continue writing!!! I am printing this and taking it to my co-workers and interns I know. This is good advice for anyone in an office environment intern or not."
—BARBARA HALLANGER on NICK JACOBS’ INTERNING 101

"Nice, well-reasoned article. Well done. The irrational fear-mongering after 9-11 is bankrupting our country financially and morally."
