We’ve been mentioning our governor’s proposed budget cuts here and there, but it’s time to get specific about people on the losing side.

It’s been a heck of a week around here. Every Student Government election is stressful for us, but we can never quite get used to having our entire newsroom writing stories, taking photos or shooting video at 1 a.m. on a Thursday morning.

Sure, Ian Murphy, the editor of the Buffalo Beast, got some interesting information out of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

We’ve already established that we’re a little old-school with our love for physical books. While we learn to slowly embrace the digital reading revolution, we’ve overlooked another change. The influx of 3-D movies has been well-documented and discussed, but for the most part we haven’t worried about the reasoning behind the fad.

If you’re a bibliophile, you’ve probably heard the news that Borders declared bankruptcy. While the story may appear to be just another sign of an ailing economy, it’s also an indicator that we stand on the edge of a new era.
