(No Comments)
Photo by Patrick Shanahan The Cornell men’s ice hockey team flipped the switch in a 4-2 victory over Yale Saturday night at Lynah Rink, winning their first Ivy League Championship since 2005 in the process.

Following a convincing 30-9 defeat of Columbia last weekend, the Big Red wrapped up a perfect Ivy season and earned the championship title. Frank Perrelli recorded his 100th career victory as he and Kyle Dake tallied major decisions, Cam Simaz and Mike Nevinger secured technical falls, and Maciej Jochym won by a fall in Cornell’s impressive performance against Columbia. ...

Impolitick I give a Dam

This is a letter I just wrote to my representative. Both a cool and interesting issue to read more look at americanrivers.org. The theme here is that I have already received a response to my first email on the issue and my congresswoman didn't even know about it. This is how you get your voice heard and issues heard about. There are certain glitzy environmental that app... Read More
Here's How I See It... Eli Manning an “ELI-te” NFL quarterback
(No Comments)
http://msn.foxsports.com/ We can probably stop making the "Why Eli Manning isn't an elite quarterback argument?" now after he secured his second defeat of the New England Patriots in as many Super Bowls. That's one more Super Bowl ring than his brother Peyton has, two more than his father Archie, and two rings to throw up a peace sign to Tom Brady and yell, "That's twice... Read More

"The selection of a Republican candidate for the presidency of this globalized and expansive empire is -- and I mean this seriously -- the greatest competition of idiocy and ignorance that has ever been." -Fidel Castro Ladies and gentlemen we have now sunk to a new low. Fidel Castro has now called our presidential candidates ignorant and idiotic. That aside there is a l... Read More
Best Thing I Ever Ate The Best Thing I Ever Ate…In a Library
(No Comments)
When I hear the world “library” the first adjectives that come to mind are boring, quiet and stuffy—all three of which sound equally unappetizing. This explains my relatively abnormal level of astonishment when I discovered that one of my favorite places to eat on campus is Mandibles, a café in the lobby of Mann Library. In addition to its unique location, there ar... Read More

I apologize. I am sorry to anyone who read my article in the magazine. I said that Newt Gingrich, Rick Santorum, and Jon Huntsman were sticking around for the sole purpose of garnering enough attention to get a show on Fox News. Frankly I think any of the three would be willing to take a show on Fox News, but I was wrong to say that they are not going to win. Ever since I ... Read More
Best Thing I Ever Ate The Best Thing I Ever Ate…Post-Thanksgiving
(No Comments)
As I thought about which food item to discuss in this week’s blog, I realized something. You really can’t have a comprehensive food blog without a Thanksgiving feature. After all, Thanksgiving is the holiest day of the year for the food lover. As a food aficionado, the thought of leftovers has always been positively indigestible for me. However, this year I learned so... Read More
Here's How I See It... Dodgers Matt Kemp snubbed NL MVP
(No Comments)
The Los Angeles Dodgers may have to call up the bankruptcy court and plead their case to halt their inevitable sale because they had just been robbed by the baseball writers of America. Not robbed by any monetary value, but robbed of an NL MVP award that was rightfully center fielder Matt Kemp's for the taking. Instead, Los Angeles native Ryan Braun of the Milwaukee Brewe...

(No Comments)
Last night the Cornell Big Red Men’s Hockey Team took on and shut out the Princeton Tigers 4-0 in front of a full house. It seemed fitting seeing as this was the first Ivy League game of the season for Cornell. Cornell started off the game strong with seven shots on goal in the first period.  The game was incredibly fast paced, but ran smoothly. There were very few pen... Read More
