There’s other more important things that I’d like to post about, but this caught my eye when I was reading a link from The Forward. Maybe it’s me, but isn’t this logo just disturbing?
Link: Republican Jewish Coalition.

And while on the subject of the Arab-Israeli conflict, I’ll point out that my friend (and fellow Yalie) Aatif Iqbar often has interesting things to say on the issue, including this recent post. Aatif may not have clever cartoons with his writing, but how on […]
I started 1776 a little while ago (though I don’t think I’ve indicated that yet on my sidebar), and the other night I was inclined after reading in it to look something up in the Declaration of Independence. In particular, McCullough referred to the United States of America as having been established by the Declaration. […]
Makes me like Tim Tagaris even more…
Published September 3rd, 2006 in Uncategorized, Soapbox, Friends & Family, Chess and Links. 0 CommentsI’m already moved into Cambridge (though not quite ensconced; thanks Max for the new word), and my first post since my arrival really should have been about HLS. I’m sure I’ll get to that some other time, seeing that I have three years for my sentence until my degree. But in the meantime, I saw […]
The Only Constitutional Lawyer in Congress
Published July 28th, 2006 in Soapbox, Voting Rights and Links. 0 CommentsOr at least that’s what I was told about DC’s non-voting representative Eleanor Holmes Norton by someone or other. More importantly, however, this segment (found through http://del.icio.us/popular) from The Colbert Report shines some needed light on the issue of DC’s undemocratic status in our political system. If you want to do something about it, check […]

Just a quick note on something I should have put up a while ago: I’ve been published!!
My sophomore year ConLaw paper on DC Voting Rights was put on DCVote’s web site. You can read a copy in PDF form here. I’ve got to say, it’s pretty cool to have it included up there. I […]
What’s wrong with RailsPlayground?
Published January 26th, 2006 in Programming and Soapbox. 0 CommentsThis has been a long time (I haven’t measured, but at least several weeks) since railsplayground.com is having difficulties. I can’t seem to even load http://railsplayground.com/cpanel, and that has nothing to do with my account. It simply won’t load. I don’t even have the opportunity to put in a bad password. Arrgggh.
On the bright side, […]
Reflections on class January 13, 2006
Published January 13th, 2006 in Classes and Voting Rights. 0 CommentsStupid people voting as a first step: One idea that I came up with was that voting is a first step. Even if somebody is stupid and is voting for entirely the wrong reasons, their vote is something that brings them further into the process. Now they have a candidate’s name in their mind, and […]
Well, I just wrapped up the reading for Voting Rights and Representation, and I have a bit fewer comments about Smith.
First of all, I found that he spent far too much time saying what his focus was or would be and none at all actually justifying it. The only justification for the relevance of citizenship […]
