World artists rock downtown

Diversity Day at 'The Office'

·

Saturday night, Lindsey and I bet on what time Tamir of Balkan Beat Box would remove his shirt. We argued whether his wearing a sweater would make him de-robe sooner or later. I guessed that he would be shirtless by 11 at the 10:30 p.m. show. By 10:59 we had a shirtless Tamir rapping and ending the show an hour later by climbing on the speaker and proclaiming, "I'm on the speaker because I have something to say."

Safety in numbers?

·

"Men can be feminists." "Cultural conceptions that blame women for their own sexual assault are devastatingly inaccurate and must be erased from society's thinking." "Raising awareness about the prevalence of sexual assault -- especially imposing that knowledge upon men -- is essential to make occurrences diminish."

Redeployment indeed

·

The Republicans are not doing any favors to help themselves remain in power, but allow me to make a few swift points about the opposition party, if I may. The latest crowd-pleasing Democratic talking point is that America should "redeploy" out of Iraq. The adjectives often placed before this euphemism are "responsible" or even "strategic." This can usually be diluted for what it is: a wholesale retreat.
