A bit far I read Zej Moczydlowski’s article (“A ‘breeder’s’ tale,” Aug. 25, p. 4) with quite a bit of amusement. I realize discrimination and bigotry are not necessarily laughing matters.

The Republican National Committee came prepared that July day when John Kerry announced John Edwards as his running mate. Only minutes after the announcement, talking points from the RNC and Bush-Cheney ’04 spewed forth on cable news channels from Republican spinners. Topping the bullet points from the right was the absurd declaration that the Kerry-Edwards […]
As two serious-minded athletes step onto a dimly lit stage, the crowd erupts with cheers. The two men – one draped with an American flag, the other more conservatively clad – make their steady approach toward one another, as “Eye of the Tiger” permeates through the smoke-saturated room. The referee signals the start of their […]
Every year, sports video game fans anticipate its release.

If the upcoming 2004 GW men’s basketball season was a Dickens’ novel, it would be “Great Expectations,” not “Hard Times.” Wait, what did I just say? I think I just blacked out like Will Ferrell’s debate scene in “Old School.” But seriously, people are expecting big things from the Colonials this year. ESPN.com’s Andy Katz […]
Alejandra Ramos is puzzled and probably feeling out of the loop. “What is this Facebook stuff?” the senior asked. “Everyone keeps asking me, ‘Are you on Facebook?’” And she has to be. Everyone at GW is on thefacebook.com, an online friends network that connects students from several universities through friends, classes and interests. Well, not […]
Women’s soccer drops season opener to VCU The GW women’s soccer team is off to a slow start this season after losing 4-0 to Virginia Commonwealth Aug. 27.
