Look, I think we can all agree that the Hatchet sucks. But one of their stories in the last edition was particularly suckful. Apparently there is a GW alum who is now the love interest on the MTV "reality" show The City. I'm not going to bother to recap the rest of the story, I'll let you read the AP English writing yourself. My issue here is what we are calling journalism. Are we going to cover every time a GW-alum douchebag falls ass-backwards onto a TV show? Because if so, the Hatchet of the future better start TiVo-ing CSPAN2 so as to catch every time some GW-traied wonk goes in front of the Senate Select Committee on Committees to talk about why we need more committees.
The problem is that I'm sure a lot of GW's student body found this story informative and entertaining. Now when they go home for Thanksgiving/Hanukkah/Christmas/etc.they can gleefully point to the latest succubus-douche on the TV and go "Oh, see him? He went to GW. Yea, he's still totally a jerk though. Whitney should dump his ass, pass the Tostitos".

I don't see you doing much better ...actually oh let's scroll back a few days, you DIDN'T PUBLISH ANYTHING FOR FIVE DAYS.
Shut up and sit down.
when theres no news, why try to fake it Gregg?
please post about the issue of professor banning laptops ..GW Hatchet doesn't allow comments on the article and I'm looking to try to do something to stop this dumb trend. I'll be emailing the Hatchet and some Department heads.
Re: Laptop banning in class.
I have taken a class with Soltan before. The class was great and I honestly felt I learned a great deal more by having hand write everything. I wouldn't be against more professors banning laptops in class. She is right to say that they are a distraction. They are. Why would you pay attention when you can just check your facebook or play a game. I know when I bring a laptop to class I do all of those things in lieu of taking actual notes, and I'm sure my grades have suffered for it. Is it easier to have laptops? Sure. Is it better. I don't think so.
I like the hatchet. And he who writes without mistake should cast the first stylistic critique. Did you take ap English, hunter?
Eh. Human interest story. You're being a bit harsh.
Me thinks Hunter is just a little bit jealous that the Hatchet did a full profile on Connor Rogers and his Politicizers instead of his blog.
Just sayin.
Shit.
you found me out Allen! That's really the reason. Because, before this I loved the Hatchet. I thought they were great. But now that those fuckers have refused to give me the attention that I know I deserve I will just attack them until I get my name on the front page.
Everyone look at me. I am so desperate for attention. By my friend? or my enemy? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!???? I was never ever hugged as a child. I need everyone to comment on everything I say. Allen, you understand me! I don't really hate the Hatchet. I love them! But they continue to break my heart! I'm so sorry Hatchet, please take me back! I'll settle for just a back page mention. But please PLEASE PAY ATTENTION TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH and Connor Rogers, you're next! So watch it with your little well researched, well-written blog, I am bringing you down!
The only people who read conor's blog are the writers and their group of 30 or so sycophants lol
Conor Rogers is a gay fish
This is when reading the Hatchet might do you guys some good. According to the Hatchet, they (Rogers & Co) registered 70k last month.
I'm no fan of Connor Rogers, but if there's any blog around here that read's itself and has 30 sycophants...it's you guys.
Congrats to Rogers, his 70k and his 30 sycophants, we only have 12.
Ive never met this Conor fellow, but his blog is far from worthy of any positive recognition!!! haha hunter I cant wait for you to rip that apart!

The Patriot accepts anonymous comments [unlike the draconian editors at the Hatchet]. However, we strongly prefer that you USE A NAME. Mostly it's because we don't take anonymous comments seriously, but it's also because we hate bullshit. Have a nice day.
