The people want regime change, not a change in the regime! In complete solidarity with the Egyptian people and full of hope that Mubarak flees just like Tunisia’s Ben Ali.

CMUNCE X is officially over and it was a great success! I chaired the same Iran committee (Mossadeq’s cabinet) from the college conference in October and was a little fearful that high school students may not be up to the challenge of successful political maneuvering and working in secrecy with other students (aka Eisenhower’s Cabinet). I was amazed when at times the high school...

The Time Traveler's Wife
The Time Traveler’s Wife by Audrey Niffenegger Just finished reading The Time Traveler’s Wife and I literally had to fight back tears the entire subway ride home. This book is one of the most interesting and powerful I’ve read in a long time. It is so complex and took me some time to completely wrap my mind a round it. Despite it’s complexity and potential for...

nettra asked: I forgot/didn't know your family was from Sudan! Let me know what happens. I'm very nervous too, but didn't know quite how to express it without going into a lot of detail. One, the chance of violence breaking out and two, the long-term consequences. Did you see the maps of how desolate the south is? BBC made good use of media in their reporting there. Finally, I'm curious wha...

In Sudan, a Colonial Curse Comes Up for a Vote →
Finally, a good article from the NY Times on the relation of colonialism to the present-day problems in Africa. Usually they miss the nuance and make broad, condescending statements on any “analysis” pieces of areas outside the US & Europe (Nicholas Kristof, I’m looking at you). More than any other continent, Africa is wracked by separatists. There are rebels on the...

Is Law School a Losing Game? →
Yeah, I’m a Law School hater and proud of it. “Avoid this overpriced sewer pit as if your life depended on it,” writes the anonymous author of the blog Third Tier Reality — a reference to the second-to-bottom tier of the U.S. News rankings — in a typically scatological review. “Unless, of course, you think that you will be better off with $110k-$190k in NON-DISCHARGEABLE debt for a degree...

Jersey Shore: What Makes Sammi Suck? →
I totally don’t agree with calling anyone, let alone a fellow female, the “c-word”…but Sammi totally deserves it. Also, the montage of her stankfaces are epic.

Computer is officially fried
What started off as a simple screen problem ended up frying the entire computer — I blame the repair guy…if only I was bitchy enough to make a scene and demand my money back for the initial repair….Now the question is PC or Mac? I’ve been a life-long PC (I lie, had a Mac in Jr. High for free through a school program) and pretty much can’t stand Apple for the sole...
