...evil as opposed to what he actually is: a University administrator who takes his job seriously.Poor Pilbeam landed in a hornet’s nest last week, when he posted a letter to the Undergraduate Council (UC) on the College’s Web site announcing his decision to suspend the UC party grant program.

...wanted to redirect the $12 million allotted for them to shoring up U.S. bridges following the collapse of a highway bridge in Minneapolis that killed 13 people. The amendment failed 80-18. Undeterred, Coburn, an Oklahoma Republican, immediately introduced his second amendment of the day: a motion to suspend all earmarks - or pet projects often attached in secret to funding bills - until structural integrity of all U.S. bridges can be verified. There were $2 billion in earmarks in the bill, which, if passed, will fund the Transportation Department next year; the amendment failed 82-14. That same day Senator...
