daily cal column?

So, it's that time of the year again: the Daily Californian is looking for columnists. I've long thought it would be cool to be a columnist (although actually I suspect my inclination is actually towards journalism, not, eh, columnism) and several of my friends are quite supportive of the idea. So, I open up the floor for you to opine upon the query: if you had a column, what would you do with it?

Go ahead and try out for it! I hope you make it because the daily cal could use some spice. if I had a column I would talk about liberal politics though. Because I have this strong belief in fairness. But I guess that isn“t what so many people want to read.

isn't it hard to find anything BUT liberalism in this area, generally to an extreme?

A weekly column... easiest would be to, for instance, summarize a week of slashdot, or something like that.

or an article on a word randomly pulled from the dictionary.

or about sex on days other than tuesday, or abstinence on tuesday.

you could have a weekly poll for what your next topic would be. :)

la. :)

Or...

Hmmm... what to do with a column.

Aside from putting it outside my house to spruce up with that Roman style look, I think it would be neat to put a fleece sweater on it and a leash and walk it around town. Make it dance for quarters!

I had a lot of fun with my Mustang Daily column. No heavy rhetoric of any kind, just random observations on life. And I'd get emails every week from people who had read it and had something to say about it. Always fun. :-)

I say go for it!!
