The listservs have been hopping with tonight with breathless announcements and statements of varying degrees of pomposity. Here are some bullet points, with complete statements either linked or pasted after the jump (and a few more photos from today’s mini-protest).  The Muslim Student Association empathizes and keeps it brief Lucha drags up Minutemen and takes […]

With all the hoopla surrounding you–know–who coming to town, we figured you could all use a little break. Missed the WBAR shows this weekend? No worries. Here’s a recap (photos by Max Friedman). WBAR had the first of its monthly concerts Thurday night on Lehman Lawn. The weather was beautiful and so was the music. […]

Geraldo Rivera was in front of the Broadway Gates tonight. So was Armin Rosen.    When I saw a Fox News producer scouring College Walk for students willing to stand behind Geraldo Rivera during a live episode of Geraldo at Large, my thoughts instantly turned to the mustache. Specifically, I wondered whether and how such […]

Let’s check in with our batch of fresh-faced presidential hopefuls to see what they have to say about Ahmadinejad’s Columbia visit: During a Fox News interview, New York  Senator Hillary Clinton says she is, “Leaving that up to Columbia.” Thanks, Hil! “But I was outraged that he wanted to go to Ground Zero and did […]

Ahmadinejad spoke to 60 Minutes and the interview aired about an hour ago.  His smirk, defying all odds, actually beat that of our own President. UPDATE, 11:35 PM: John Krauss took this post and just made it extremely trippy.    

Free Culture at Columbia has come out with some pretty cool stuff in its brief history: the Core on Flash drives, CULator, this gem of a protest video. Now, under the guidance of founder Brendan Ballou, they’ve transcended the Columbia plane and gone global. Allied with One Laptop Per Child (OLPC), Ballou and co. are set […]

There are free t-shirts, courtesy of Hillel! Commemorative mugs and tote bags to come.  ALSO: Tonight’s 60 minutes, which started 6 minutes ago, is on Ahmadinejad. In case you want a preview.   UPDATE, 7:45 PM: GERALDO RIVERA IS INTERVIEWING CHRIS KULAWIK AT THE BROADWAY GATES RIGHT NOW

JJ’s-devotees were certainly in a shock this fall. Sure from a cursory glance, JJ’s looks great! So many frozen meals! So much ice cream! However, once you stepped up to that familiar counter, a perennial favorite was missing- the spicy chicken! The spicy strips of chicken breast were deep-fried to a tender and moist perfection. […]

Brad himself spotted at Grant’s Tomb, filming this movie. Thanks to Alex Klingenstein for forwarding the photo. 

And so the madness begins. An anti-Ahmadinejad press conference that just went down in front of the Broadway gates included state assemblyman Dov Hikind, who called for New Yorkers to “show up by the thousands” and create an impenetrable human barrier around Lerner Hall. Also present was the principal of the Rambam Jewish day school […]

Because it’s their day on the Plaza! Get out there and dance, and eat–delicious Middle Eastern food, cheap.  

So the Columbia Coalition Against the War (the War defined broadly at this point) is planning a picket of the main forum/speakout/thingy tomorrow. CCAW released another statement last night, reprinted after the jump, and is waiting on approval from the Dems for another consensus statement that’s expected to announce they’re all getting along again. Also, […]

The swirling storm of shit due to descend upon our fair university sometime tomorrow morning is predictably picking up steam. Current editor David Feith and Giuliani supporter Jordan Hirsch sure have a strong opinion on things, while conservative twit William Kristol has a rather novel idea for protesting the Iranian president. That guy who led […]

Bwog’s never waded through the bowels of CUIT web pages to check its printer quota, but apparently it should have. According to one of those cute tipsters that makes fake addresses to send us under-the-radar information, no matter where you print from on campus, the system won’t register your activity–you could run off the collected […]

We’re not sure what’s more strange about the AAA poster: that they promote their event with a picture of Calvin Sun et al., or that they’re touting Tokyo Pop as “Columbia’s premier nightclub/lounge.”  Also, Phi Iota Alpha felt the need to promote their rager with a glistening, curvaceous babe. No party in the Lerner Party […]
