...marks an inspiring moment in local politics in that she brings refreshing diversity to a county position and sets an example for future municipal and local elections. It also vindicates the use of new media in local politics, as Sievers’s largest campaign expense was a $51 Facebook ad. In another sense, her election is an inspiration for college students to stay involved in politics and civic service, even beyond the general election— by campaigning, volunteering, or even running for office. In local politics especially, participation matters. Sievers’ election brings much-needed attention...
Better yet, I went on Facebook and sent messages to an Ezra Stein, a Levi Stein, two Solomon Steins and a Sigmund Stern. (That's as close as I could get.) It turns out, to my relief, that every human being likes his own name. But Solomon scared me about the nickname Sol, whereas Sigmund--who, of course, writes for the Onion--won me over with Sig and Ziggy.

It was one thing for freshmen to broadcast their big dreams on their Facebook profiles. Caleb was in a whole different category. I had heard he was incredibly smooth, always on message. He was taking off his junior fall to work as a personal assistant to Karl Rove. If I wanted to meet him, I would have to fly down to DC. FIRST IMPRESSIONS...
...Snap tournaments, (which were surprisingly poorly attended—considering the posters we made). As midterms finish up and you realize you don’t actually have to attend Ec10 lectures, you will have hours of free time that you’ll spend agonizing over what Facebook gift to send to that thick biddy in Straus B. In high school, you mostly spent your time padding your resume by competing in the Tri-Valley Quiz Bowl Tournament, creating a (fake) NGO to bring snorkels and inflatable baby pools to inner-Mongolia, and teaching dyslexic ponies to read Braille...
