Going out with a bang

jedusorYesterday, I spent the entire afternoon and evening working on an editorial about HB 213, a ridiculous bill about "intellectual diversity" that does not bode well for college professors and academic freedom. Sharai was sitting next to me, writing her editorial about Virginia Tech and the Target shooting and how America loves to lap up violence. One of the examples she used was a halter top with a picture of Charles Manson printed on it.
She finished her editorial first. I didn't get mine done until about 7:30 PM. Before I left, I proofread hers and, on a whim, added the headline, "They're Dead. They're All Dead. Wanna Buy A Halter Top?" I figured it was too crass and Craig would probably change it, but eh, why not leave it for now?
Today, Craig told me that it's one of the best headlines he's ever seen. Man, that made me feel good.
Incidentally, Craig and I agree that this is going to be the best issue we've had since the spring of 2006. I'm especially glad about this issue being a good one because it'll be my last. It'll be available here on Friday.
EDIT: Also, I'm getting an award for "excellence in journalism" and another for my participation in the Student Ambassadors at honors convocation. It's tomorrow, Thursday, at 6pm in the gym at Penn Valley. If anybody wants to come, there'll be free food. You need to let me know, though, so I can get you an invitation.
