		<description>The inventions we're probably closest to are the noise-cancellation technology and the legged robots. If the noise-cancellation thing received some sort of funding, with either financial awards or guaranteed sales for working devices, we could probably have small-scale noise abatement devices available quickly. Unfortunately environmentalists are too corrupt to do anything about noise pollution.</description>

		<description>"The most intelligent thing they can say about the PFC process is that it’s a “circus.”"

I know nothing about the candidates this time around, but that's easily one of the most intelligent statements I've ever heard about the PFC from an incoming Exec. Not a bad place from which to start.  

"I guess if hating OSPIRG is all the Commentator is looking at, then your support makes sense."

It may not be the only thing worth looking at, but it's hardly an unpromising indicator, is it? Perhaps old age has made me unduly optimistic.</description>

		<description>Somewhat moot, given that they won, but Dotters-Katz and Delashaw think that it's a-ok that students have basically no oversight over the Rec Center. The most intelligent thing they can say about the PFC process is that it's a "circus." They pander in the lowest "let's sell cheap pizza" common denominator way and come up with unrealistic plans that sound good on paper. Does anyone actually think they're going to get LTD to run later? They are the Mitt Romney of the ASUO, only in this case the electorate wasn't astute enough to see through it all. I guess if hating OSPIRG is all the Commentator is looking at, then your support makes sense.</description>

		<description>"This is hilarious. I love that you guys cling to the idea of corruption and abuse of power by ASUO students, as if any of this is actually important enough to abuse what “power” student senators have. I mean, I like the Oregon Commentator for the most part. But really?

P.S. Sean Jin is arguably the most annoying person I know."

-- This is unnecessary. I'm pretty sure everyone's aware of the incredible limit that exists to ASUO power. But people follow the election for a variety of reasons, including: concern about increases to the tuition by way of the incidental fee, the future of their student program, frustration with the worthlessness of the ASUO, and perhaps most interestingly, the patterns it reveals more generally about political life in America. All of these reasons are legitimate and have nothing to do with a delusional and grandiose concept about the extent of ASUO importance. (While I'll admit there are also some who do have such a concept, I really don't think the Commentator is among them.)

Further, your condescending tone and poor use of sarcasm is simply annoying, to be frank, and not warranted here.

Anyway, time to go party!</description>

		<description>The idea that any publication would endorse politicians who have actively tried to limit free speech is absolutely ridiculous.  This is why no one takes the Emerald seriously.  We get told at the J-school over and over again how the media is supposed to be a watchdog.  How we are supposed to call out politicians when they are not acting in the interests of the public.  Here we have politicians trying to limit speech for political gains, and instead of calling them out for it, the Emerald endorses it.  Utterly ridiculous.</description>
