Cinematic Treatment
Another Colonialist editor and I were having a discussion last night, part of which included talk of the nature of contemporary fiction, specifically in movies. I suggested that a currently growing trend seems to be a slight break from the uber-realism and the recapitulated fantasy (political movies and comic book remakes), two of the most [...]
Fear Thurston 926
There is a small jungle growing in Thurston, and the University has no idea how to deal with it. John Bath and his roommates are terrified of their own room. This email was sent to Housing on Tuesday:
Dear Housing,
My name is John Bath. I am a freshman living in Thurston room 926. As of right [...]
The Internet Is Amazing
Just a brief post between my Facebook Chat conversations.
Seems our “Oh, What A Wednesday” post about the Westboro Baptist Church has gotten the attention of a certain group of people… the Westboro Baptist Church.
After trudging through some site data, we found a link pointing here from their famous website GodHatesFags.com. They mention us on their [...]

Love Letters
We received an email early this morning from Michael A. Keough, who had sent a letter to the Hatchet for publication Thursday. We asked him if we would send him one right back, and he said sure.
Dearest Hatchet,

Just a Note
The Hatchet is reporting that the number of highly intelligent students that choose GW is on the decline.
Judging by what’s happening over at Yale, that might not be a bad thing.

Oh, what a Wednesday
I usually steer clear of diary blog posts, but I have to share my day with you.
I have been fascinated for some time with a church out of Kansas called the Westboro Baptist Church. They travel around to high profile American events and protest under the mantra of “God Hates Fags.” They believe that God [...]

We Perform Standup Comedy
Recently, the editors of thecolonialist.com (Darren, Kevin, Travis, Kirk) and a thecolonialist.com contributor (Emily) performed standup comedy at The Comedy Spot in Ballston, VA. The acoustics were horrible (the audience sounded like they were laughing from two floors down) and the atmosphere was very strange (it was a comedy club in the middle of [...]
