Bravo to going green. The State Press Magazine pointed out the positives of being environmentally friendly this week in its green issue. Even porn went green in an article about two Web sites that show vegetarians in the nude in exchange for money that goes to green causes. Way to bare it all for the planet! On that note…
Boo to green exploitation. Yes, recycling and all the rest are important, but before we go running around blowing money on green things we don't need, we should fix the obvious stuff first. Save the "green" table utensils made from bamboo for the evening when you have a Panda coming to dinner.
Bravo to SDTV. (That's ASU's student-produced television network, not the venereal disease.) They're moving from closed circuit cable that played only on campus to Valley-wide cable. Righteous. Now we can stop sneaking into our younger sibling's dorms to watch "Dirty Oatmeal."
Boo to ol' bin Laden. The bearded wacko has been transformed in the public eye from evil sociopath to harmless kook, thanks to the current administration's policy of ignoring him completely and a certain South Park episode. This is a stupid mistake. While the public complains about Iraq, bin Laden's Taliban fighters have retaken Kabul, the capitol of Afghanistan.
Bravo to National Coming Out Day. It was an exciting time on Hayden Lawn Thursday and a life-changing event for some ASU students.
Boo to low fan attendance at Valley sporting events. Our teams rock; the Diamondbacks are in the league championship series and the Sun Devils are 6-0, but there are still empty seats at the games. Students need to strap on the fan gear and represent, or Sparky and Baxter will start eating them.
Bravo to Mental Health Day on Wednesday, which celebrated staying sane. Not that any of us down here are sane, but the feeling must be nice. With free mental health screenings and mental health awareness clinics, the day was a big success.
Boo to the GOP's most recent presidential debate. Our eyes glazed over as we watched old white men cantankerously complain about their bed rashes. Wait, that might have been the nursing home we volunteer at instead of watching the GOP candidates spit out tired non-answers to questions about a world that has passed them by. Even Ron Paul didn't raise as much hell as usual, and Fred Thompson is better on camera when he gets to memorize his lines first.
