By Bwog Staff on Oct 10, 2009 4 Comments

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.

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.

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.
