This Week’s Best and Brightest

Obama came to my school this past Friday. Unfortunately, I had to do some cadaver dissection and then proctor an exam, so I missed out on his speech. There was also a pretty sizable war protest (for Pittsburgh, at least) yesterday that I missed out on for various reasons. Apparently, I’m just out of the Leftist loop these days.

In other news, Pennsyl-tucky has recently taken one step closer to startling civil rights violations. A senate committee has sent a possible constitutional amendment to the floor that would disallow gay couples to marry. They cite recent court decisions in other states as evidence of the encroaching threat to the institution of marriage. Again, I argue that civil rights issues should not depend on the capricious whim of popular vote.

And finally, two music selections for your aural pleasures. The first is Nina Simone’s “Feelin’ Good.” If you are unfamiliar with her music, I highly recommend checking her other stuff out. Nina’s sultry vocals are contrasted with the perennial message contained in the Goo Goo Dolls’”Let Love In.”
