SAN SEBASTIAN, Spain -- Our Richmond planner and Spidercard might not weigh much, but after half a semester abroad without them, the lightness is unreal.

The blog recently posted with the title "Battlefield Shifts to the Economy" may seem factually sound and intellectually logical on the surface; but the underlying argument beneath the complicated tax talk is false. The following is a rough outline of how the argument veered off track.
To the person who dressed in blackface for Halloween this past weekend:
University of Richmond history professor Woody Holton is a finalist for the Nonfiction National Book Award.
Before I go any further let me say I was not on campus this weekend to experience the University of Richmond Halloween or see any of the creative costumes put together by our "intellectual risk takers." Nonetheless, I would place a bet on there being a "risk taker," somewhere on this campus, that did dress up like a Mexican gangster, American Indian or terrorist (intended to be of Muslim descent). I've seen these impersonators dress up in sombreros, head dresses and black and white scarves before, so I know I am not making this up. Maybe it didn't happen this year at the Richmond, but I am sure as hell that it has happened before and will happen again. How do I know this? These costumes are convenient, cheap, funny, sold at Party City and, frankly, drinking up during Halloween with a bomb strapped to your chest makes for a good Facebook picture.
