I am not a rapper, but I know a palindrome when I see one.
Above is a low resolution scan from the Oxy Weekly. As a form of punishment, employees of the Occidental Weekly were asked to write about other employees and their careers at Occidental College and their futures. I wrote Tim’s little bio and Tim wrote mine and then someone I don’t know wrote Dane’s. Enjoy it [...]
Think: America.
We all know that Dane Muckler has since become the Washington Insider, so I thought it might be interesting to see some of his earlier work at Oxy. sorry, it’s a big picture, so you’ll have to click on it to read.
They printed this story in the Occidental Weekly. I guess I did opinion pieces every once in awhile where i tried to have opinions so they let me print this. I also got to do the illustration: Dear Mom, Things are good here. I guess you could say “all’s quiet on the western front.” God [...]

The violent attack it records against the Palestinian prisoners on 22 October 2007 was real, but it was carried out as a “training exercise” for Israeli security personnel at Ketziot Prison to boost their “morale” and “motivation.”
Chicago terrorism charges part of NATO ‘climate of fear’
cbc.caDefence lawyers say Chicago police have vastly trumped up charges against three men arrested earlier this week, as part of a campaign to frighten peaceful protesters away from a NATO summit.
But defence lawyers shot back that Chicago police had trumped up the charges to frighten peaceful protesters away, telling a judge it was undercover officers known by the activists as “Mo” and “Gloves” who brought the firebombs to a South Side apartment where the men were arrested. “This is just propaganda to create a climate of fear,” Michael Deutsch said. “My clients came to peacefully protest.” On the eve of the summit, the dramatic allegations were reminiscent of previous police actions ahead of major political events, when authorities moved quickly to prevent suspected plots but sometimes quietly dropped the charges, or lost the cases in court, later. Toronto computer expert Byron Sonne’s ordeal stemming from the G20 summit there two years ago is just the latest example; Sonne spent 11 months in jail on bomb-plot accusations before being cleared of all charges this week by a judge who found he had no ill intent whatsoever.
