tonight

I never feel like I get enough work done. This econometrics homework really just kills my psyche. I thought I was leaving that all behind in the physics building. It always falls on the worst days, too.
Last week (I think) one of our campus newspapers republished one of the infamous cartoons, and alongside it an editorial explaining why they were doing so (and condemning it). Because it had caused such a comotion around the world and had become "newsworthy" they decided to reprint it. Of course, there was a bit of a stirring amongst several members of the community. Tonight was a panel discussion with the Editor of the newspaper, the president of the muslim student association, a prof in journalism, a prof/expert in political cartoons, and a few others. In general, I side with the newspaper's right and reasoning behind publishing it. The mediator sucked and so did a lot of the audience questions.
