Bye–bye Georgie

The Editorial Board knows we aren't perfect - look around hard enough and you're bound to come across some minute error somewhere within our pages. But, unlike the outgoing president, when we admit our faults we would like to think we own up to them. Eight long years and you're halfway there, George.

What would you do if you lived under the constant threat of rocket attack? Since Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, the people of southern Israel have been held hostage by Hamas. The truth is that there never really was a ceasefire to begin with. Since Israel left Gaza, Hamas, which is recognized as a terrorist group by both the U.S. and the EU, has fired more than 6,000 rockets into civilian areas of Israel.

No mercy not fair

Thanks for reminding us why we all hate you, Bernie, by not only reminding us how pathetically few tickets students get compared to alumni, but also by giving us your standard holier-than-thou insistence that we go to class while you nurse your hangover in Miami.
