Son of diversity

Monday, Aug. 25,2008 11:45 p.m.

While McCain people envied then mocked Obama’s popularity, I’ll bet many of us got a little misty-eyed when this American son of diversity addressed the German people. The sea of Berliners seemingly stretched beyond the horizon. Heady stuff! And why not?

Welcome home

By Abby Schwimmer · Monday, Aug. 25,2008 11:43 p.m.

The powers that be often prove themselves to have quite an unusual sense of humor, and in selecting a location for Bloomington, they have simply outdone themselves. It’s almost as if someone airlifted a bohemian, progressive, all-around badass town out of an undeserving, pretentious spot in New England and dropped it down in the middle of a cornfield in southern Indiana.

Remember 2008

By Nathan Dixon · Monday, Aug. 25,2008 11:40 p.m.

Painting Indiana blue?

Monday, Aug. 25,2008 11:30 p.m.

No one doubts that Bloomington is home to more than a few wide-eyed Obama supporters. Many were probably excited enough about his candidacy to think they could swing Indiana blue for the first time in 40 years, especially when our own Sen. Evan Bayh was rumored to be the VP choice.As just about everyone knows by now Sen. Joe Biden, D-Del., not Bayh, is Obama’s choice for a running mate (plenty of students on this campus probably got the text message at the amusing time of 3 a.m.). Bayh was still rumored to be pretty close to the top of the list, so all the enterprising young Democrats on campus should know he may yet be tapped for higher office.

By Erin Carlson · Monday, Aug. 25,2008 9:59 p.m.

Scooching in between Simon Cowell, Paula Abdul and Randy Jackson sounds intimidating, if not a little scary. But Kara DioGuardi, the newly-installed fourth judge on "American Idol," is confident she'll find her niche within the bickering, ratings-tested judges' panel where the line between love and hate is blurred with every critique.
