The best part was when the guy tried to steal their BBQ grill as he was making his getaway ... I'm sure that story was a real hard scoop to come by, especially since all of the witnesses interviewed were Emerald staffers. Man, real journalism is tough! I commend those brave enough to print stories about their own parties where the drunks are both out of control AND hate your publication enough to get into a fight. Kudos.

The funny thing about the journalism field is that journalists so desperately want to belong to a professional field, like lawyers and doctors. The SPJ is an attempt to codify journalistic ethics, but it has no real backbone. I mean, "Give a voice to the voiceless." What the fuck does that mean, exactly? Also, the ODE has a pretty sordid history of violating this tenet: "Be judicious about naming criminal suspects before the formal filing of charges." Not as much recently, but this sort of thing led to a suicide a few year's back. Nice to have you with us, though, Catie. The SPJ is a little wishy-washy, actually.

We actively avoid it, and it gets thrust upon us. And we don't even get a catered awards show every year. Credibility sure is a funny thing. We actively avoid it, and it gets thrust upon us.

A simple Facebook.com search would have shown you that I am a senior graduating next week and getting the hell of Eugene. Even better, had anyone from the Commentator asked me for an interview, I would have gladly accepted over drinks at Max's or Rennie's, two places I hear Commentator Kids frequent. We could have discussed how four years in Eugene makes you a bit crazy, the merits of bars that don't serve hard liquor, and why libertarianism is the same sort of unrealized idealism characteristic of this little bubble known as the 'Euge. And for the record, my headline would have been: "Goodwin: A tour de force of non-stop nonsense."
