Amid concern nationwide that "a vote for Nader is a vote for Bush," at least four web sites are offering to connect would-be voters for Ralph Nader in so-called "swing states" with Al Gore supporters in so-called "safe states," so that they might informally agree to exchange their votes.

I Am a Bitch

God Speed You Black Emperor
Through the ages, Canada has forced upon our fair nation a great many musical plagues, most notably Alanis Morrissette. Not only did Ms. Morrisette scoff at American culture by shattering Boston's long-standing record for the best-selling debut album of all time, she also belittled the Christian faith by claiming enough resemblance to God to portray Him/Her in a terrible, terrible film.

Supreme Court Should Be Psychedellic
As much as I love and repect Ralph Nader - and who among us does not have the full text of Unsafe at Any Speed tattooed on her back in near-microscopic print? - I have finally decided to swallow my bile and vote for Albert Gore.

Pomona Should Not Villify Essig
In the wake of the terrifying and unnerving events of this last Monday night involving Professor Fred Sontag and Jared Essig, we must be extremely careful as we, the student body and faculty, commit the episode to memory.
