Benefit of the Doubt
February 5, 2010admin 2 Comments »My latest article is in the paper this week:
http://orient.bowdoin.edu/orient/article.php?date=2010-02-05§ion=2&id=2
Once again, I wish earlier drafts of the article were posted right along side the final draft (along with perhaps all of the various articles and books that I read doing research) so that, regardless of the final product, I seemed very determined if not actually articulate.
Benefit of the Doubt is the title of my column. What it lacks in creativity I think it makes up for in sincerity. The one thing I am really happy with is that, besides one other article on politics for the week, I’m the only person writing about something substantive rather than just the weekly horse race of which party is up and down and why things are that way. I don’t know what I’ll be writing about in two weeks yet, but my classes are finally settled so that I can focus on some extra-curricular reading. Au revoir!

Very interesting and well thought out. I agree that filibusters should require an actual body on the senate floor at all times.

Wow, Joe. I’m impressed! Your arguments are articulate and well-informed, and me thinks you are event planting a flag in the sand and making a stand. Go Joe!
