But sharp writing and Colbert's wholehearted inhabiting of his blowhard alter ego showed that there's as much potential in mocking cable opinion shows as in the news itself. Like The Daily Show, the show is uneven -- between the pair, you've got 14 minutes of solid comedy every night -- but it's worth catching for Colbert's nightly editorial, "The W?rd," in which his bluster is counterpointed by commentary from the on-screen graphics.

Ultimately, this could lead to disastrous ramifications in terms of the economy, academic rigor, and social life at those schools. Although we can sympathize with...
...Swisher first presented the UVA Student Council with the petition to persuade them to pass a resolution and present it to the Dean and President of the University. Despite tremendous support from both students and faculty, the petition was ultimately unsuccessful in persuading the UVA administration to alter its transfer policy. “The Student Council passed the resolution, but the Dean and President still stuck with their original decision,” Swisher said. Ryan A. Petersen ’08 recently wrote a position paper advocating that eight visiting freshman students from Tulane be allowed to apply...
