...these questions are ultimately irrelevant. For better or worse, as the population of five million grows, SL is bound to garner more attention from politicians, who hardly need reminding that a few thousand votes one way or the other can make the difference. In a tight election campaign, like the recent French one, we shouldn’t be surprised to see politicians and their staffers logging-in to SL.

It leads to gems like “bureaucracy’s a gross thing, dude,” and “being wise would be so tight.”If there’s one person who hears these lines the most, it’s likely UC President Ryan A. Petersen ’08, who between phone calls (15 to 20 a day), e-mails, text messages, meetings, and the nights that Sundquist spends...
