KU Wins, We Drink: An Overview of Andy's Night
via chronicler Jason:

12:52pm: Robichaud finds one of his friends in a table and...

10 Ways To Earn More Than You Can Working At The...
Here’s the problem with this - starting salaries out of j-school have ALWAYS been shitty. Somewhere in a box at my mom’s house, I have the packet of info I was given by KU’s journalism school during my HS visit that contains a sheet with starting salaries of recent grads.
KU has one of the best undergrad journalism programs in the nation, and yet, the starting salaries listed ON...

Ugh.
A fantastic and even-handed (and thankfully left-leaning) review of McDonald v. Chicago on The Awl. Fantastic, of course, until you get to the comments. Is it ironic, or to be expected, that there seems to be almost as much intolerance for differing viewpoints on this issue from the left as there is from the right? OMG SOMEONE SAID MAYBE WE SHOULDN’T MAKE ALL GUNS ILLEGAL FOREVER - GET...
