Dear Gracie Pt. 3, Or; How to Remain Completely Oblivious Even After All This Time
By: Barry Belmont

Dear Gracie. Against my better judgment, I still read what you write sometimes. Sometimes you write on my blog comment section, sometimes you write on the VisLupes comment section, sometimes you write on the Sagebrush. You know all this. You have a lot to comment on. A lot to say, really — important stuff, you [...]

Still Pending…
By: Barry Belmont

An Objection to Current Shenaniganery
By: Barry Belmont

Patrick Delaplain is amongst the coolest people you’ll ever chance to meet at UNR. He’s pretty smart, pretty funny, and remarkably level-headed. Admirable traits all. He actually took the time to respond to our Abolish ASUN Festival on our site, but just in the comment section. It’s actually such a rational response to the Festival [...]

Love us or hate us, you can’t say we aren’t trying

If I thought the Abolish ASUN festival was getting us enough attention as it was, making our Abolish ASUN petition public to the wonderful world of the internet was the icing on top of the cake. By announcing the festival we got a [...]

Racist Comedy at UNR…
By: Barry Belmont

No, no, we’re not talking about the ever-present farce that are diversity initiatives, we’re talking about a recent comedy skit performed for the ASUN Leadership conference.

Dear Gracie II, Or; How To Miss The Point, Again
By: Barry Belmont

Dear Gracie. Diagnosis Part I. The Problem. What is that thing called where one points out one’s faults in another person? It’s taught in Psych 101 classes. Oh what’s it called? From Wikipedia: Psychological projection [...] is the unconscious act of denial of a person’s own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to [...]
