Gunning for it

Tuesday, Nov. 6,2007 9:03 p.m.

Before the dust had even settled at Virginia Tech, there was already talk of policy change in the air. The depth of the tragedy was observed for the first few moments, but ever after there were irreconcilable debates held at campuses everywhere about what precisely should be done about handgun laws. Even now, a conclusion in the near future is improbable. Last week’s “empty holster” protest held at college campuses across the country was a further reminder. The aim of the protest was to demonstrate that without the ability to carry handguns, students are defenseless. The event was observed last week by a sparse, yet vocal, group of “concealed carry” advocates on campus.

Listing leaders

By Chase Cooper · Tuesday, Nov. 6,2007 9:02 p.m.

Last week the London Telegraph compiled lists of the 100 most influential American conservatives, as well as the 100 most influential American liberals. Obviously, I was more interested in the conservative list, which would’ve looked a little different had it been up to me. For starters, Rush Limbaugh came in fifth place, about four spots too low. Rudy Giuliani ranked first, which is odd given his questionable conservative record and his newcomer status in national politics.

Stop talking, please

By Ayesha Awan · Tuesday, Nov. 6,2007 9:01 p.m.

My task of filling this space with 500 words has become increasingly difficult, largely because the news consists entirely of stories with headlines such as “Hillary Clinton calls Barack Obama a big fat butthead.” Well not quite like that, but you get the idea. It seems to me that politics has devolved into an even dirtier business than usual, as if that were possible.

Pray for wisdom

By Thomas Wachtel · Tuesday, Nov. 6,2007 9 p.m.

For the past several years, there has been conflict concerning the Indiana House of Representatives’s penchant for holding a prayer before each session opens. The prayer isn’t a big deal just because it’s a prayer – it’s a big deal because this is the House of Representatives, and because the prayers are specifically directed to Jesus Christ.

By Shannon Dahmer · Tuesday, Nov. 6,2007 12:54 a.m.

Listening to the conversation between a group of aspiring journalists and a legend in the field of broadcast journalism seemed to cement the opening words of Bob Dotson’s presentation: “Don’t listen to anyone in my generation who says that the golden age was 20 minutes before your time.”
