    The Cornell Review ^ | 4/17/2016 | Casey Breznick
    Democratic royalty Chelsea Clinton will visit Ithaca Monday morning to “get out the vote” for her mother, Hillary Clinton. Anyone who’s interested can RSVP here. Shockingly enough, it’s a free event. That’s quite the bargain, considering that over in Hollywood and the Bay Area you have to shell out a pretty $353k+ to pow-wow with Hillary, George Clooney, and friends.Even though Ithaca’s zip code is one of Bernie Sanders’ top donor districts, there is perhaps a case to be made for Mrs. Clinton in ultra-progressive Ithaca. What that case is exactly, perhaps is best left to Chelsea.In an effort to...

    WARNING: THIS COLUMN CONTAINS BAD LANGUAGE In 1968, 50 student militants at Cornell University, my alma mater, stormed the offices of the Economics Department and took the department chair hostage because he had praised the achievements of Western civilization. The university administration found that the militants had been victims of “institutional racism” and thus spared them appropriate punishment. A few months later, members of the Afro-American Society (AAS) took control of another campus building in order to put it to AAS use. Then, during the 1969 Parents’ Weekend, up to 100 militants invaded the student union, followed by beatings and...

    NEWS April 16, 2004 NAACP Holds Meeting Political columns yield Ho Plaza rally to 'unite' students by Teah Colson and Ted Van Loan Sun Staff Writers 122 Rockefeller was packed to the brim with students and two faculty members who gathered for an emergency meeting of Cornell's chapter of the NAACP at 5 p.m. yesterday. The meeting was held in response to two recent articles -- one regarding an incident which occurred after last semester's Ludacris concert appearing in the Cornell Review, and the other regarding affirmative action in the Cornell American. During the meeting, participants planned a rally to...

    Yes, Annika Should Stay Out! By Joseph J. Sabia A number of conservative readers are very unhappy with my position on Annika Sorenstam’s involvement on the PGA Tour. Their argument goes something like this: “You are a conservative. Conservatives are supposed to believe in merit-based policies. Annika played by the same rules as the men, so you should have no problem with her.” My brief response to this argument is threefold: (1) Beware of blind devotion to merit. First, and most importantly, women cannot compete with men athletically. Physical differences cannot be ignored just because some wish they would go...
  • Do Right-Wingers Ever Defend Their Own? (Joseph J. Sabia, Cornell Review)

    Do Right-Wingers Ever Defend Their Own? Did I miss the memo again? I am mystified by right-wing pundits’ reactions to the attempted lynching of Bill Bennett. Do these people ever defend their own? Ever? A few months back, right-wing pundits at National Review and The Weekly Standard began to pressure Trent Lott into resigning as Senate Majority Leader because he told an “offensive” joke at Strom Thurmond’s 100th birthday party. Almost no conservative journalists—save the excommunicated Pat Buchanan and Bob Novak—defended Lott from unfair, outrageous, and unproven charges of racism. Rather, they piled on and locked arms with Jesse Jackson,...
  • Democrats’ 2004 Kamikaze Mission (Their political tactics, insanely stupid or suicidal)Joe Sabia

    Democrats’ 2004 Kamikaze Mission The Democrats want to lose the 2004 presidential election. This is the only possible explanation for their political kamikaze mission over the last year. What are these people thinking? Consider some of their more brilliant tactics since 9/11: (1) Accusing President Bush of having prior knowledge of September 11. Remember this insanity? Last May, the Democrats started gleefully frolicking around, declaring that the Bush Administration had knowledge of al Qaeda’s plan to hijack planes and slam them into the Twin Towers. Mrs. Bill Clinton stood up on the Senate floor and waved a copy of the...
