Mock the Bird

To anyone who reads (this): What happened to Mock the Bird?

The last post was in pre-election October by (the other) Kevin. What about the remainder of the students who contributed to this digital publication -- a publication that had the potential to blow any student paper out of the water? Where have they gone? Do they care? Do you care?

Sadly, I guess potential is just one big hustle.

Still, your publication has the potential to tackle the stuff that college students are really interested in. You could have turned MTB into a cutting-edge, probative publication -- less the fear from the paranoid, uptight, risk-averse eyes of college suits. Rumor has it that you had them worried last year; the Suits want happy student publications, happy publications that follow the school's line.

C'mon. You have -- yes, have -- the opportunity to make a difference, a cool, significant difference, by young college writers who have the guts to report important news to young college students, not like the College PR stuff that spins and spins and spins ad nauseam.

Please don't argue in defense with that old, sad mantra I so often have heard, "We're only community college students." Seems to me that language like that limits your possibilities significantly.

Become unlimited.

Peace.

(03-27) 15:11 PDT Oakland, CA (AP) --

A woman is safe after losing control of her car and accidently driving into the waters of the Oakland Estuary. But on the upside, she saved her morning coffee.

Authorities say the car went into the water a little after 6 a.m. Thursday after its 22-year-old driver apparently lost control of her car while reaching for a cell phone.

After the car became lodged in stilts under a home on the water, the driver was able to get out of the car and make it back to shore.

Onlookers say she came ashore still cradling her coffee cup.
