God, I hope the point of the 5 year diversity plan is not to determine what kind of articles campus publications can write.

But hey, that’s not my internal editorial debate/beer bottle fight.

For the record, the “drunken hilarity” resulted because Calderon, who is probably one of the dumbest people I’ve ever met, beligerently insisted that the Emerald should only be allowed to write articles about “how you can’t make fun of minorities.” Isn’t that why we have the Five-Year Diversity Plan?

I think Nick’s Total Copy Written About Dallas Brown topped everyone though. He’ll surely go down in the record books for that honor.

I’ll give you a ring and a home sweet home
And if you want you’ll be free to roam
But not too far I’m begging you please
Begging you please upon my bended knees

‘Cause if you don’t love me I’ll kill myself
If you don’t love me I’ll kill myself
If you don’t love me I’ll kill myself
If you don’t love me I’ll kill myself

You better bet your life
My love will cut you
Cut you like a knife
You better love me
You better try now
You better love me
Like you’re alive now

Nick’s copy total was less than mine was last year, too. So snap.

Catie is probably Catie Hager, whose boyfriend does have a daily paper.

Ian, I hope you don’t need to be warned again about posting Avril Lavigne lyrics. I kinda feel like I shouldn’t have to tell you that this is a serious website. That gets taken seriously.

Oh shoot, and another *gasp* - I guess we can’t all be perfect. Nice poem.

Today’s the day
I pray that we make it through
Make it through the fall
Make it through it all
And I don’t wanna fall to pieces
I just want to sit and stare at you
I don’t want to talk about it
And I don’t want a conversation
I just want to cry in front of you
I don’t want to talk about it
Cuz I’m in Love With you

Okay, I’m sorry, I must be wrong. But, thank you for your conservitive voice within the community - I honestly do appreciate it sometimes being a Republican.

Catie I heard in an LA Times Podcast that Bill O’Reilly is a very respected journalist. I think you should take that into consideration the next time you post on our serious Internet website that we take very seriously and in a serious manner at all times. This was in a Podcast so I’m quite sure it was factual.

Catie, why waste your time talking so much smack about a publication on THEIR blog? Start your own publication and then make fun of the OC if you want, stop being a tool.

By: Catie

Catie — Mon, 12 Jun 2006 06:19:40 +0000

Oh, Bill O’Reilly called you “‘responsible journalism’” so that’s an accomplishment now? This is the man who said Dallas Brown was his hero! Oh man, I really wish I worked for the OC now - Bill O’Reilly, I think I would pee my pants!

In the grand Emerald tradition, I’ll offer an editorial qualification/equivocation. 1. Yes, it was a slow news day. The AP sent us nothing.
2. Our fact checking sucks. As does our ad department. So I end up as your caterer and poke some fun at you on the web. And they say life isn’t fair.
3. Apostrophe’s are confusing. So are the motivations for attending onanistic awards ceremonies. Win some/lose some.
4. Hey, Bill O’Reilly called us “responsible journalism” without ever having read an issue. That’s good enough for me.
Thanks, and keep reading

Not really, but you must be associated with the OC. I like the journalism ethics portrayed by your staff person. Evidently ethics are only for real publications so I guess you don’t need to bother with the SPJ code of ethics do you? But yes, I was at the infamous banquet and you’ll just have to guess as to what I was wearing.

So, are you with the ODE Catie? Oh, and what are you wearing?

Catie — Sun, 11 Jun 2006 23:12:26 +0000

You did a great job checking for errors in your post. The OC must be a top notch publication considering you haven’t figured out how to properly use apostrophes. Must have been a slow news day.

I didn’t just thank my very special people for their specialness, I gave them awards for it.
