By Kristi Oloffson · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 11:25 p.m.

If trekking all the way up the stairs of the Herman B Wells Library to return a book was difficult before, relief is in sight.

It was Israel that sent suicide bombers into neighboring countries. Wait. Israel did not do those things. Hezbollah did.

Terrorism, not Nazism

By Alyson Brodsy · Thursday, Sept. 7,2006 10:42 p.m.

Say what you will about the members of the Bush administration, but they are wordsmiths. That's a title that neither myself nor most people would normally bestow on someone such as "W," but if you look at the administration's history, I think that it's a fair word to use to describe them. The administration has used the power of words to make Democrats out to be homosexual lovin', baby killin', un-American softies on national security.
