For the past few years the Student Association has been a bacteria that students choose to watch fester. Doing nothing to excise this bacterium, students have allowed it to grow into the boil on the butt of this campus that it is today. And the growing of this boil, under Kris Hart’s presidency, certainly shows […]
Washington eatery mocks GW professor, “fat suits” An eating establishment in Washington state recently began requiring customers to sign a liability waiver before eating a new dessert, “the Bulge,” mocking proponents of obesity lawsuits. The waiver is a semi-serious effort by the owners of Seattle’s 5 Spot Diner to protect their business from any sort […]
