QuickSpec: Defining Columbia Edition
Previous Post | Next Post

Here we are, in the birthplace of homophilia...

Or perhaps we're in the cradle of oppressive tradition...

At Columbia, we throw eggs and call people motherfucker for social justice...

Because maybe we're just another underfunded school for children with special needs...

Please, please look both ways.

All joking aside, Jonathan Basile is a perfect human being. I will follow him to my death.

the only person who is troubled by the way the spec reported that accident? i mean, i understand that it was both a terrible accident and a news-worthy event, but it seems as if he got special attention because he was a spec writer... i mean the way the story is written, it has almost no information about how the accident happened, only that this guy was some kind of hero who was KIA.

again, not to say that it doesn't deserve coverage or that it isn't awful, but that it maybe should have had more info and could have been less patronizing.

Spec's coverage of this kid getting hit by a car was totally absurd. It's like something out of an April Fools edition.
