Several tipsters have sent in sightings of a film crew that’s been causing quite the stir outside the Bon French Cleaners.

Are you kept up at night by financial fears?  Yes…but PrezBo is always there for me with his consoling words.  Are you proud to be an American now with an Obama Presidency?  Yes…but Obama’s Presidency could be as disastrous as the Trojan War was for the Greeks!  Wait, who won that war?   Better check Sparknotes… […]

Bwog Daily Editor James Downie reports from tonight’s anti-NROTC panel. Apologies to those commenters who requested a liveblog — I felt this was one issue where I might want to make especially sure my notes were accurate.

Bwog Lecture Hopper David Berke attended tonight’s Heyman lecture, starring Orhan Pamuk with Andreas Huyssen. Special Brinkley cameo towards the beginning!
