Tufts Paper Unclogs Joe the Plumber’s Story
Mighty Joe the Plumber was being feted for a while on TV, right wing radio, the blogosphere, and even in Nashville, TN, where he was rumored to be considering a country music career. But the media got distracted when the next bumblebee flew by. As his latest chitchat with the Tufts student newspaper shows though, […]
Light at the End of the “Free Expression Tunnel”
Apparently some North Carolina State University and Purdue University students didn’t get the memo that they’re now living in blue states. According to the News & Observer, four NCSUers went a little crazy with the magic markers, and now the Secret Service is involved:
Campus police say they will not bring charges against four students who […]
Punk the Student Day!
Yet another pivotal election today, and you know what that means: It’s time to punk the youth vote!
At liberal Grinnell College in Iowa, 50 students’ registrations are being challenged because of address confusion. As in, these voters put down one campus address instead of another. Does this make sense? To the Republicans trying to keep […]
Obama in a Landslide!
At least according to college newspapers. A mind-blowing 59 of them have hopemeister Barack Obama as their pick, as opposed to a single lone rebel voice for John McCain (the Daily Mississippian).
To be fair, though, this is a bit like polling Slate staffers.

U Kentucky Strings Up a Fake Obama
The University of Kentucky gets the dubious distinction of being the first college south of the Maxon-Dixon line to hang possible-future-president Barack Obama in effigy. Ironically, the display was first discovered by a guy named Lynch:
Mike Lynch, a faculty member who works in a building near where the effigy was found, said he saw it […]
Will College Kids Vote in the Old Man?
Bless their hearts, College Republicans haven’t given up — they still believe they can tilt their campuses, especially in all-important states like PA and FL, to John McCain. Still, these hopeful youngsters understand they have a hard row to hoe:
And they are supporting a candidate at some odds with the young: Mr. McCain voted for […]
Updates on Two Youth-Vote Stories!
Friday is a day of resolution. First we learn that Ashley “Barack-O-Lantern” Todd, about whom we wrote earlier today, has confessed to lying to the cops. Nobody held her down, groped her, and carved a “B” into her face with a dull knife. Now she gets an “A” for honesty, and a backwards “F” for […]
College Republican Mugged, Assaulted, Lying?
Something horrible happened to 20-year-old Ashley Todd, a Blinn College student from TX, who has been phone-banking for John McCain in Pennsylvania. The only question is, what?:
Ms. Todd told police during at least five hours of questioning last night that her attacker said to her, “You are going to be a Barack supporter.” She told […]
Election Gets Grizzly at WCU
Someone killed a 75-pound bear cub, decorated it with Obama signs, and left it on the campus of Western Carolina University for people to find. So far the reaction has been along the lines of “Ew, gross!”:
“But this is certainly unacceptable,” Johnson said. “Someone evidently was wanting to draw attention to the election. If we […]
When You Give a Terrorist a Cookie …
The University of Nebraska can breathe easier. “Washed-up old terrorist” Bill Ayers was going to descend upon them with great vengeance and furious anger to talk about education policy. No doubt his actual plan was to plant a bomb in a bathroom and start a flood like his ineffectual Weathermen friends did in the ’60s! […]
