Well well. If you like civil liberties - if you've ever heard of civil liberties - this post is for you. The reason I bring it up is obvious, the contradiction we're seeing in the news today. One headline is the Senate voting not to extend the Patriot Act and the other is President Bush admitting that he OK'ed warrantless eavesropping. If illegal wiretaps aren't the best reason I've heard for ending the Patriot Act, I don't know what is. Somebody has to be accountable for the government's actions and (shock me shock me shock me!) it turned out to be the US Senate.
It's a big day sports-wise in Ann Arbor because the Bruins are in town from LA to play the Wolverines in hoops. People were talking about it in town last night and tickets were simply not available. Could basketball be back in Ann Arbor?
I wrote a good portion of the MKT 503 final this morning, but I haven't gone through the simulation yet and that's frustrating. The sim is this weird black-box marketing game where you put in numbers and get numbers out - very hard to prep for and hard to interpret results.
