...sports fan. I left the Harvard-Yale tailgate because I was cold, and, even after much explanation, I have no idea what a “down” is. It doesn’t make sense, and I refuse to believe otherwise. I also have little pep. Like almost everyone else at this school, I enjoy two things: G-chat and complaining. Usually, both at the same time. But watching these other schools cheer, I kind of wished more Harvard people were there. There I was, wearing the Harvard sweatshirt that I bought during pre-frosh weekend, excited...
...another $214,000 was due on Feb. 17. Morris Brown's response to this latest deadline seemed almost like an after-school movie. Despite holding rallies, fundraisers and an auction of prints donated by local artists, by the morning of Feb. 17, the school had managed to raise only $60,000.

A new poll by the New York Times and CBS News found that 74% of Americans think Obama is "trying to work with Republicans in Congress." By contrast, only 31% of Americans think Republicans in Congress are "trying to work...
...balance in an interview with ABC News. "I like trying to educate the American people about the dimensions and scope of this economic crisis," Clinton said. "I just would end by saying that he is hopeful and completely convinced we're going to come through this." Obama will almost certainly demonstrate that sentiment on Tuesday night, if for no other reason than it is what every President in modern memory has done when addressing a joint session of Congress - reflect upon the current challenges, while promising that America's greatest days lie ahead...
