"The people who are commenting on the content of the book have not read the book, so it makes it difficult for them to comment on the content. Those who have read the book are not commenting."

So says Robert Barnett, attorney to Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, in a telephone interview yesterday.

As Editor-in-Chief, I'd like to note the formation of a conservative student newspaper at the University of Maryland. A week and a half ago, The Terrapin Times distributed 4,000 12 page newspapers to students across campus and recieved over 1,000 visits to our website (http://www.theterrapintimes.com). The newspaper is the first step in fighting back the fierce liberal bias on my campus and I look forward to it's continual printing on a monthly basis.

Outstanding, a fine example that should be followed in Charlottesville.

Best of Luck!!
This will be happening over and over again as the rat media loses it's grip on what is/is not news and what is/is not the truth. Developments like the emergence of your student newspaper could not have happened even just a few years ago. Yet we can now look forward to a time, just a few years from now, when we will all look back and wonder how we ever let the rat media lie to us all those years. These are going to be exciting times indeed and; you will be part of them.
Again Best of Luck!

Congrats. Across the country, conservative campus newspapers are regularly stolen and destroyed by the "tolerant students" representing all those on the far, far left. Here's hoping your tolerant students are more tolerant than most on the far, far left.

Kudos to you from a Maryland alumni, great to see there's an alternative. Are you including a crossword puzzle? I remember reading the Diamondback just for the crossword puzzle, with a cup of coffee and a smoke...there I'm dating myself since you can't smoke in the Student Union anymore.

I will definitely check out your website and forward the link to old friends. Best of Success with this.

Great job! Our daughter is involved at UMIACS. Nice to know that she might someday be exposed to the light expressed via your publication.

Congratulations. Would you consider some cooperative efforts between your paper and some of DC chapter's efforts ?

Kristinn, Angelwood, is this a good idea ?
