Conservative Good Newswire

By Greg Walker
Appeared in the Rutgers Daily Targum
With all the bad news for conservatives that the media have been trumpeting, from the not-at-all suspicious simultaneous investigations of Republican leadership to the Harriett Miers nomination, I figured I’d help raise conservatives’ morale around campus by sharing some good news. And so, I proudly present the Targum’s first ever Conservative Good Newswire: |

A Case For Feminism
|
By Greg Walker
Appeared in the Rutgers Daily Targum
As I looked over a slate of current events and topics I could cover, I winced. Nothing was coming. As I thought about what I’d heard over the last few days, items that might inspire me, my friend, who happens to be a feminist, said something rather curious: “I think that if women ruled everything, the world would be a better place.” |

Race After the Storm
|
By Greg Walker
Appeared in the Rutgers Daily Targum
At this point, I’m sure that we’ve all come to terms with the fact that United States President George W. Bush is solely responsible for the events that devastated New Orleans two weeks ago. On vacation at his ranch, the President did not receive any briefings from Chief of Staff Joe Hagin regarding the incoming threat. The Northside Journal News reported that Kathleen Blanco, the Democrat governor of Louisiana, did not receive two phone calls from the President on the twenty-sixth and twenty-seventh of August, warning her to call for an evacuation of New Orleans and to offer federal assistance. Blanco did not refuse to do either one, both times. Max Maxfield, National Hurricane Director, did not call Democratic New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin and urge him to call for an emergency evacuation of New Orleans, which the mayor did not fail to do until less than twenty-four hours before Hurricane Katrina made landfall, despite five days warning which he did not have. Now I want every reader to replace “did not” with “did,” and “is” with “isn’t” in each of the last five sentences. Now I want all of you to thank me, because I’ve brought you back from the edge of insanity. |
