Today's topic: Stupidity and hypocriticism. This topic is because of the Daily. The Daily prints editorials from various people, and has weekly ones from certain people. Erin McQuinn is one of the weeklies, and she is either a) a very sarcastic person who doesn't know how to trasmit it through writing, or b) a very stupid person who doesn't know any better. Since she is a sorority girl, and I have heard from others that she is dumb, I will tend to agree with the first statement. (Not all sorority girls are dumb or naive, just most.)

A recap of some of her articles: an explanation of the superficial superiority of U of M over MSU, a topic of her inability to argue her opinion with her family once she is allowed to sit with them (Erin, there is a reason you weren't allowed to sit there...YOU'RE STUPID), a recap of media-hyped opinions about George W. Bush with her commentary added in, and a commentary of how you should "tell it like it is." All of this was dealt with in the most vapid and uninspired ways. I don't know how she got in this school, but everybody in her class is cheering for making the curve drop.

I wish she would add some sarcastic words, or hyperbole if she is going to be sarcastic. Once, she tried to save herself by saying that she was, many weeks after the fact.

And, they print reader letters. Today's paper features an idiot who is against letting people drink and strip when they are 18. He doesn't give any good reasons for not letting adults do what adults want, however, he sure doesn't discriminate against letting people kill and die when they are 18. Hmmm.

Today's thought: "Who laughs last? A question not a task, I ask, what's your reason, do you believe in anything?...Take your packaged rebellion, move on, revolution on your sleeve, if you say it mean it, if you mean it, do it, you can't live your life through me." - Anthrax - "Packaged Rebellion"
