...Sticks and Stones While it is true that the U.S. right has made political hay from MoveOn.org's ad asking if we should call General Petraeus "General Betray Us," it is also true that most Americans found the ad offensive [Oct. 1]. It was outside the bounds of acceptable political dialogue, unless you happen to be 17 years old. And Michael Kinsley's defense of the ad was equally offensive.

...Since we now know that the Ad Board is a secret cult, fueled by sadism and sacrifices, it makes sense that their first meeting was not until September 4th, just ten days before registration. This brought many personal dilemmas for me, including, but not limited to: Do I get drunk the night before the decision or the night of? Or, do I leave a burning bag of dog shit at my dean’s door or Drew Faust’s door if I don’t get back...
