Harassing the NYC Left (and our professors) on a daily basis!
The Right Wing Conspiracy is in the NYC Blogads Network. Target a huge New York City audience with just one click!
As you may have noticed I added all of the posts we have done for the last couple of months while the site was using MovableType. I am looking into adding all of the posts from the old WP, which I have saved in a MySql database.
In fact, if there is anyone out there with MySql knowledge who knows how to merge two databases, please email me!

Welcome to The (vast) Right Wing Conspiracy back in WordPress!
Claudio, check your email!
New design should be up and running by tonight.

I have decided (after careful deliberation) to go back to WordPress. I don’t have the time (nor the inclination) to learn CSS in order to fool around with the design for the site, and I really did like having the blog roll feature built into the blog script.
Our new WP site should be up and running soon. Hopefully I can also load all of our old posts into it as well.

For any of our NYC readers, you may have noticed Claudio’s mug in, well, every major NYC newspaper yesterday in a CUNY ad.
Karol has some kind words on that subject right here.
Finally, someone thinks we are adorable!
I’m off to Bear Stearns for a CUNY fundraiser. This site is depressing me style-wise, so I may spend a good part of tonight/tomorrow finally finishing the redesign.
Let’s not even talk about the Mets.

Sometimes you read something that makes you crack up so much you actually start crying and laughing at the same time. Here’s todays for me:
Statists and leftists everywhere in the US should get up in the morning and give thanks for direct payroll deduction — without it, if every American had to write a single check once a year for the sum total of their annual income taxes, there would have long since been a revolution.
True and funny at the same time. Check out the rest of this great piece on taxes right here. If I had a blogroll running, CoyoteBlog would definitely be added to it immediately.
Hey Everyone,
Like Pat said, ’tis Spring Break and WE ARE FINALLY RESTING! After a really tough and demanding campaign for student government, my Truman Scholarship media blitz, work, six classes at three campuses, and a million and one other things, it is finally time to kick back Down South.
I’m sitting here watching the Mets whoop up on the local favorite Braves down here in Carolina. It is such a lovely thing.
Not, though, nearly as lovely as this. The only thing better than running against the scorned ex-girlfriend you equipped for politics in a student government race? WHOOPING HER BEHIND!
Executive Vice-President
Charles Simpkins AAA 570
Valeria Alcena A1 436
Constance Jordan-Cooley CITY UNITY 381
Revenge is the sweetest thing next to getting…um, elected.

Alright so I don’t even remember writing the previous entry. Give me a break, I had just got home from celebrating, it was late, I was slightly inebriated, etc.
Anyway, we are on SPRING BREAK. Claudio is in North Carolina with his family, and I will be attending some Mets games and lounging around the house. I should try and catch up with some reading for Corporate Finance and Money & Banking but I know thats a longshot.
Maybe I will post something this week, but more the likely TvRWC is going to be pretty silent until May. The past week of campaigning, school, and not-sleeping has made me ready for a week of relaxation, laziness, and sleep. Why my school’s spring break is into May I have no idea, but I will gladly take time off from school when it is offered to me.
Schools out…

Yeah we kicked some student government ass.
Your bloggers can now be addressed as:
1. Executive Vice President (Claudio)
2. Vice President for Evening Affairs (Pat)
We made our first official act (as the slate with the “most” Republicans on it) tonight to declare war on Hunter College.
Or was it Baruch?
I forget already.
A couple of tidbits and excuses:
Well thats pretty much it. I don’t know why this entry needed a list, but hey, have CSS will travel.

The Secret Service sent agents to investigate a college art gallery exhibit of mock postage stamps, one depicting President Bush with a gun pointed at his head.
The exhibit, called “Axis of Evil: The Secret History of Sin,” opened last week at Columbia College in Chicago. It features stamps designed by 47 artists addressing issues such as the Roman Catholic sex abuse scandal, racism and the war in Iraq.
None of the artists is tied to the college.
Hmm, picture of President Bush with a gun pointed at his head? Art!
Here’s the kicker:
The exhibit’s curator, Michael Hernandez de Luna, said the inquiry “frightens” him.
“It starts questioning all rights, not only my rights or the artists’ rights in this room, but questioning the rights of any artist who creates ’Äî any writer, any visual artist, any performance artist. It seems like we’re being watched,” he said.
Guess what kiddo, when you make (what at least appears to the naked eye) a threat against the president of the United States, you are going to be watched. The job of the Secret Service is to protect the president, and that does entail check out all of the nutcases who consider drawing a picture of the president with a gun pointed to his head. If some drew a picture of me like that, I would want them investigated too.
Free speech implications? You make a threat (however veiled) you should take responsibility for your actions. If I made a threat against the president and the Secret Service did NOT show up at my door, I would be angry that there were not doing their job.
Do people really think this nonsense is art or is the “artist” just doing it for the controversy?
