Nice design.

Am I the only one who sees irony, or perhaps premeditation on Mr. Coles part, in linking to this site when the top post is discussing the finer points of “Reasoning”?
;-)

It’s unfortunate that the first page of the blog has a classic error. Obviously, the author hadn’t ever read Kant or Hume.

Clean layout, though the font they are using is just a bit on the tiny side…sort of like reading a blog that consists entirely of the fine print you find at the bottom of a contract.

This is so sweet. S/he is so young and apparently hasn’t been reading your site lately.
Otto Man
Awesome. I love being lectured to by 19 year olds.
Nathan Lanier
You read Juan Cole?

I wonder what John found so “excellent” (say the word in your best Montgomery Burns voice).
Could it be this smug comment?
or maybe this…
or perhaps this…
I wasn’t surprised to find any of that there. Considering the tone around here, it was pretty much what I expected.

Since I have to explain everything to the nattering nabobs (thanks Spiro!), it is filed under excellent links because that is the catch-all category for things I link to but don’t really talk about or comment on.
Someone emailed me, said they had started the web site and had a bunch of college students writing there, I gave it a 30 second perusal and linked it to help them get some exposure. Kinda like the kind of thing people are supposed to do, and the kind of thing established blogs did for me.
I am sorry it did not meet your high standards, but maybe the rest of the people who come here will find it useful.

Heh Jim, I couldn’t help but notice those comments as well. I was thinking, “Oh look, young conservative shills! How cute!”
Then I read a bit more closely and saw that someone liked to use the word ‘Libertarian’ a whole lot.
And then I was thinking, “Oh look, *selfish* young conservative shills!” :)
P.S. Apologies to any actual principled (and especially any non-selfish) Libertarians out there, this obviously is not intended to apply to you. But some people who call themselves “Libertarian” are really just in it for all the tax cuts, which currently aligns quite nicely with Bush’s policies.

Jesus, some of you people will nitpick at anything.

It’s an opportunity to mentor a young mind.
Oh,Boy.Stupidity!
Yeah, I liked the site. It’s refreshing to see college kids actually thinking on their own instead of regurgitating the same old tired leftist groupthink: US and capitalism are bad.
It’s amazing how this site’s resident leftists are up in arms about how bad FEMA’s response is. Two months from now, the same lefties will be crowing about nationalizing health care, you know, for the children.

What’s in a name?
I guess yours pretty much says it.

why am I not surprised that John-Boy endorses a student blog whose managing editor is a proud member of “Free Republic”.
John would help restore at least some of what was passing for his credibility if he changes the category of this post from “excellent links” to “general stupidity”.
(And, as someone who is familiar with Penn and its publications, this blog appears to be the antecedent of the “libertarian” “Red and Blue”—-a publication that was notorious for its undisguised racism in the name of “libertarian” principles…)

As a recovering academic, its good to see young people using their education to think a little about something that’s not on the test.
My random thought for the morning, based on this and other comments sections:
1. If you don’t like SOME of John Cole’s posts, pass by the ones you don’t like, new posts come frequently.
2. If you don’t like ANY of the posts here, stop reading.
3. If you like MOST of the posts, click the tip jar.
4. If you comment, click the tip jar.
5. If you just want to fight, get in a long term relationship in the real world ;-}

Oh, I forgot. Anybody notice the differance between the “nice” link and the wiki-pedia entries? Has U. Penn. invented their own system of logic?

“U Penn?” You are so not from Philadelphia.
