Columnist is cynical moron
By Ryan Weiss | Mar. 30, 2010CJ Pruner’s column on Monday regarding Jordan Johnson’s political legacy had a few minor errors that I want him to acknowledge. One, while it is implied that the article is written by CJ Pruner, I cannot help but feel that others deserve credit for its content, namely, Michael Moore movies and malt liquor. Additionally, the article concludes by saying that he is a “journalism junior.” I would like to recommend a more appropriate description, perhaps “cynical moron.”

Texting with correct grammar
By AMANDA MILLIGAN | Mar. 30, 2010After a not-so-short hiatus, I’m back to stand on my giant soapbox and preach the good word of the Grammar Gods. Please, don’t run away just yet.

All I want to do is pass out some electronic illiteracy-is-of-the-devil shirts. And rant. Can’t forget that.
