So I have never spent my college years collecting normal student experiences. In fact, I’m more likely to spend my time venturing into the bizarre. I could try to say that I produced this music video as a celebratory fusion of my work in performance arts and my Anglicanism…or you could just say that I did it because it was darn fun. Did you ever think you’d see Martin Luther dissin’ Johann Tetzel in a rap video? The clip below is the brainchild of my friend Alexander Dominitz, a young film director and cinebuff extraordinaire. For the full lyrics and much more, check it out at www.95thesesrap.com. H/t to Adrian for designing and launching the full website.

About the Blog
The Yale Man, described: "Not too far to the right, too far to the left or a middle-of-the-roader. Ready to give the ultimate word on every subject under the sun from how to handle the Russians to why undergraduates riot in the spring. Profound with a wit that bubbles up and brims over in a cascade of brilliance. You may have guessed who the leading candidate is, but there is a question about him: Is God a Yale man?"Iqra'i is like that, but in skirts.
About Us
Nicola Karras is a conservative feminist. She enjoys philosophy, politics, and transgression. When she grows up (which she plans to avoid for as long as possible), she wants to be an intellectual, or, failing that, an astronaut.Kate Maltby is cross that Nicola stole her self-descriptors. She wanted to be a public intellectual long before Nicola did, which is to say, a cosmonaut. A perfectionistic, feminist Anglican, she is far too self-conscious to comfortably accept self-definition through such crude medium as this.
Dara Lind is a communitarian. Her interests include culture (broadly defined), immigration, globalization and media. She wants to be employed when she grows up.

One thing I would like to discuss is that weightloss system fast may be possible by the proper diet and exercise. Someone’s size not merely affects the look, but also the quality of life. Self-esteem, melancholy, health risks, plus physical ability are influenced in putting on weight. It is possible to make everything right but still gain. In such a circumstance, a condition may be the culprit. While excessive food and never enough physical exercise are usually to blame, common medical ailments and trusted prescriptions can certainly greatly add to size. Many thanks for your post right here.
