By Bwog Staff on Oct 09, 2009 7 Comments

Though still devoid of frankfurters chilled, grilled, or otherwise, the Empti Lounge’s hot dog machine appears to be the newest member of Columbia’s illustrious Flex network.

Obama Isn’t All That Special

By Bwog Staff on Oct 09, 2009 17 Comments

As noted in the Bwoglines, Barack Obama, CC ’83, was this morning awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Now, while even the president admitted that he does “not view it as a recognition of my own accomplishments,” and even though Wikipedia’s article on the “2009 Nobel Peace Prize” is mostly about the controversy, Columbia can still increase its […]

Bwoglines: Some People Have All The Luck

By Bwog Staff on Oct 09, 2009 3 Comments

President Barack Obama has won the Nobel Peace Prize, basically for existing. (Times) Harvard students lose the “right” to a hot breakfast. (Times) Harlem braces for trouble with getting an accurate census. (Spec) NASA “slams” two probes into the moon to look for hidden ice. No launch date yet for the follow-up mission, which will look for “hidden cheese.” […]

By Bwog Staff on Oct 08, 2009 1 Comments

Perhaps you’ll one day watch every movie ever made, not just read every book ever written. Not all librarians hate comic books; some are even archiving them. We’re stuck in a bubble with our ideas but at least we’re right. Your favorite bouncer has a stack of fake ID’s. It’s the exact opposite of asking […]

LectureHop: The Health Care Debate

By Bwog Staff on Oct 08, 2009 12 Comments

Last night’s Columbia Political Union Healthcare debate boasted no special format: the soothing power of the free market versus humanity and logical responsibility. Their respective groupies cheered, scoffed and even engaged in some raucous Joe Wilson-ery. More valuable than watching the news, less valuable than personally investigating the issues, but more time-effective than either – […]

Bwoglines: CSI NY Edition

By Bwog Staff on Oct 08, 2009 3 Comments

It was a dark and stormy night. High winds on a warm autumn evening felled trees all over the city, but luckily not hers. Inspector Hawkma smelled a setup at first when the clues led her to her own tree house, one of the oldest in the city. Local gun shows had been flying under […]
