Live from Grant Park!
Editing’s cool and all, but making history is where it’s at tonight — which is why virtually the entire editorial board of North By Northwestern is at Grant Park. Call us irresponsible, or call us the elite liberal mainstream media. Either way, we peaced.
But we’d never desert you altogether, which is why we’re doing what we do best: text messaging. We’ll keep you updated on the best soundbites and observations from the crowd at the Obama rally, from the first whispers of a riot to the shouts of “You’ll never take me alive, coppers!” Hey, it’s bound to be an interesting night.
North by Northwestern twitters from Grant Park


Oh, for the love of God. I’m getting so tired of reading puff piece after puff piece singing Obama’s praises. Come on, guys. If not even a college newspaper will voice concerns about the new presidency, who will? The same people who were willing to rip Palin a new one just gloss over any potential fault in Obama’s administration. He’s inexperienced. It’s concerning to me. I’m not a Republican either, and I’m not saying McCain would be better - not at all - I’m just so tired of only hearing one side of the story, and I guess I have come to expect better from North by Northwestern. Do you not have any conservative bloggers? Did no one want to write about what this means for the Republican party? Do you have NO ONE who would cover this from a different angle? No one who would talk about the pluses and minuses, the problems his administration will face? I thought Northwestern students were supposed to be intelligent free thinkers, not a bunch of dumb state-school frat-boy types. Have an opinion! Support it with facts! Address your readers’ concerns! Make fun of California!
Jesus. If I read one more thing that has GOBAMA in the title, and as the primary content of the text, I will be forced to chuck my laptop out my second floor dorm window.
