Headline allusion can be enjoyed here. Today marks the the arrival of everyone's favorite wandering evangelist, Brother Jed.

Yet the UA is not the only [...]
Platinum Bash Reax »
Under the Sun's own Laura Donovan managed to make it to the show: Pretty much no one sat in their assigned seats, and the man on the loudspeaker said Kelly Clarkson would not come on stage until everyone retreated to the actual seats they bought.

Self-Medication and Darfur »
I didn't get around to Laura Donovan's column yesterday; before that though, there's a wonderful piece on modernity and the college campus from the excellent Culture11, worth excerpting in its entirety: Matt Crawford ably explains how college campuses have become incubators of schoolmarmish therapeutic supervision. No longer confident [...]
How is the UA blogosphere like the federal government? »
It just keeps growing and growing (Lame libertarian joke = -10 cool points)! But yes, two more announcements following Laura Donovan's new blog: 1. This comes a bit after the fact, but the Desert Lamp has now officially become a group blog, with the addition of new guest writer Connor Mendenhall. Connor, as you may remember, was the editor of [...]
