No, the funny part is that he was a RINO at least (The guy could have written love letters about Scalia, but he still supports the ACLU, so I give him a RINO, but he was a real believer in the constitution. I loved giving him articles from FR about the First.) , the only one I’ve even heard of in a Communication department. And I bombed the essay due the fact I couldn’t argue law out of a paper bag (though I did read almost all the law docs from FR case with Wash Post :D) It just happens that when I use FR in all my Comm classes (where I knew so much in the news I didn’t have to open the NYT like my teacher wanted), my classes grades just drop like stones. I’m avoid of using as sources in my last two classes so I graduate on time.

Undergrad grading is a crap shoot, especially when it comes to essays and classes grades on a curve.

Sounds like a real "New York City" Republican. LOL

I got my BA in communications so I know a little bit about research. As great as FR is, it is not quite as useful as the college library and the periodical guide...:(

Funny, even when I was in school, we repeatedly went to traditional sources like Newsweek and U.S. and World Report for evidence in argumentation. The joke was that none of us respected them as being truthful, merely effective as a debating tool. We used to call them US P.U.'s and World Distort.
