I AM THE FORCE

Spivak and Bice took a rather cheap shot at Congressman Mark Green today regarding his vocal opposition to the RA bible study ban at UW-Eau Claire. They're shocked that a Congressman from eastern Wisconsin would comment about a university on the other side of the state, and hint that he's speaking out only to support his run for Governor. If they were acting more like reporters than gossip columnists they would have noted that Green is a UWEC alum who happens to be rather religious. He cares personally both about this university and bible study. It would have been much more shocking for Green to have remained silent. I know this is what these guys do, yelling gotcha, but they should strive for a tad more integrity. Being cute and sticking to their angle, facts be damned, does not make for very good reporting.

Of course, I must note that -- when I lived in the dorms -- my friend Damien and I worshiped an entirely different mythical figure.
