Is CalStuff Dead?
The answer: probably. At least in its current condition.
The reality of the matter is that I just don’t have the time to write right now, especially given the 20 hour work week that I’m taking on with my classes and law school apps.
Andy M. and Josh M. just aren’t around enough to keep this going.
If someone wants to give this a whirl, it would be amazing - CalStuff has been the catalyst for many events in the past four years, and it would be sad to see it all come to an end in such an uneventful manner. Plus, there is a lot of news to write about in this town that no one is talking about - writing for CalStuff is edgy, pioneering, and makes you more physically attractive. Okay, maybe less physically attractive, but I didn’t have much to lose to begin with.
So, hopefully some of you will step up and help carry on this project. Otherwise, hope you enjoy those Daily Cal crossword puzzles.

I can help if you like…not like I have boatloads of time on my hands, but I like to write. I notice stuff. I read CalStuff all the time (but don’t necessarily comment).

I can’t remember the last time I posted something. I hope the quiet is is just a phase. Good luck on law school apps.

I’m glad CalStuff was around to document The Great RSF Fire of 2006. Surely the Daily Cal could do no such thing!
Comment by Chris Smyr — October 2, 2006 @ 10:39 am
Ben, I can totally understand that you are too busy to post much. But didn’t you just hire two new junior Calstuff writers? Wtf, those two guys lasted for about three weeks before they quit posting. I don’t even remember their names, but those two really suck.

Speaking of, I’m excited how Berkeley will be representing the next Nobel Prize–chemistry–which is announced tomorrow. We’re 2 for 2 so far: a Cal Alum and a Prof.

Maybe photocopied zines will make a comeback, and it would allow people to think more carefully about their content, and then the reader won’t have to dig through all the undeveloped thoughts on blogs and comment boards and facebook/myspace groups.

Unfortunately, Stanford beat us this year with the Nobel faculty: 2 to 1.
Of course, we still did well: one faculty member, one undergrad alum, and one PhD alum.

It’s still amazing for Bay Area universities to win all 3 science-related Nobel Prizes this year. What a feat!

SA Embezzling your student fees to pay for their personal legal fees. This is flat out stealing. I know Calstuff is dead, but please read up about this and do something. Email these lowlifes, write letters to the DailyCal, show up at the next senate meeting. Just do something to stop SA from raping us.

Ben, we’re all busy, and we all face challenges. You set yourself up as a reasoning voice at CAL. As a rebel. As one who participates and encouraged others to do so. A true politico, a true writer, would squeeze those last few moments before sleep or forgo that booze (oh yes, I have seen you PARTY) to be the writer/politico/activist one has claimed to be. You have gained the notority, and then quit on us. Perhaps fame on the CAL pond was all you wanted. Your previous eloquence has dwindled, and nothing is left but, “Croak.”

The Sea Scouts lose! You can’t be a bigot and expect the community to pay for your stuff. If you can’t get this case to be even heard by a wacko conservative court, then you really have no argument or valid stance.
Buh bye.

nice to see the homosexual brownshirts gloating over their fascist assault on freedom of speech.

Hey — you have the most conservative court in years. If you can’t get your bigot policies approved by them, then you really are out of the loop.
You’re just pissed cuz the pansies bent you over the table on this issue. Suck it up and go with it, concerned — it’ll be over real soon. And you might even like it.

so now the homosexual brownshirt fascists are threatening to sexually assault their ideological enemies. and i’m supposed to feel sorry for you not being able to get married???
Comment by Concerned student — October 18, 2006 @ 8:06 am
Hey concerned: We don’t want you feeling sorry for us. We want you pissed that we’re beating you. Say goodbye to your Republican majority. Say hello to gay marriage. Say goodbye to governments funding bigotry.
You got the most conservative government in years running the country, and still we’re beating you. Poor poor concerned. It’s us who feel sorry for you.
Comment by Anon — October 18, 2006 @ 11:41 am
when two same-gendered people tell me they’re married, I just say “no you’re not, and you never will be, you sodmites”
Comment by Concerned student — October 18, 2006 @ 12:08 pm
Dear Anon (the guy arguing with Concerned student) -
What the f are you talking about? Who is beating who? Where’s gay marriage? What makes you think that governments will stop funding bigotry (are you talking about the US govt?)
So we’ve got the most conservative govt in years running the country… and “You’re” still beating “us”?? who the f are YOU?
— Everyone else
Comment by Confused Student — October 18, 2006 @ 2:22 pm
apparently losing every state referendum on gay marriage, even in mega lefty states like Oregon, qualifies as “beating”
Comment by Concerned student — October 18, 2006 @ 2:33 pm
HAHAHAHAHA!!!!
Uh does a government that spends the economy into a deficit with SOCIAL PROGRAMS that Democrats approve of, considered conservative? This is the most fiscally liberal government since LBJ.

Concerned: Do you think everything is about you? You think janitors march to intimidate you and gays protest to make you feel sorry.
It’s just Concerned’s world — we just try to unbigotize it.

bigot this, bigot that, namecalling is a sure sign that you don’t have any substantive arguements.

I’d imagine this isn’t the greatest memory one would want to have for CalStuff’s final post. Maybe we should pull the plug.

You took a week to come up with your response concerned, and that’s the best you could come up with? What’s up — you reading all about the New Jersey ruling? And yet, even with a week, I noticed you didn’t respond to the challenge about you being the black pot. Silence denotes agreement, my bigoted man.
And you do know that “some more” should be two words, right. Bigoted and stupid and hypocritical is such a sad way to go thru life?
Luv ya!

Of course, homos can get married in America. They marry girls, then have sex on the side with closet cases.
And Concerned — you do know that studies show that the most homophobic males typically are so strident because they are closet cases themselves.
So what secrets are you hiding, Concerned?
Comment by Anon — October 30, 2006 @ 1:10 pm
Would you care to cite any of those studies? I bet you won’t, because you know just as well as I do that these “studies” are propaganda from the “gay rights” crowd.
Comment by Concerned student — October 30, 2006 @ 4:26 pm
Still waiting for some citations of those “studies” you were talking about…. The silence is deafening….

I love this anarchic bickering. It gets me a little excited. In my pants.
Comment by Christine — November 4, 2006 @ 11:40 am
Sorry concerned — I was all wrapped up in the news of the famoous anti-homosexual church leader who it turns out was paying for gay sex all time. Haggard is just another in a long line of homphobes yelling for oppression of gays who love to suck it on the side. In 1980, Maryland Rep. Robert Bauman was arrested for sex with a 16-year-old male prostitute. Bauman was notoriously anti-gay in his votes. Also conservative G. Harold Caswell, a Nixon nominee to the Supreme Court who had a history of rulings against gay rights, who was later arrested for approaching an undercover cop in a bathroom for gay sex. Jeez, how much do you pay your male whore for meth, concerned?
Before you answer that, go check
Journal Of Abnormal Psych 1996, Vol. 105, No. 3440–445. Is Homophobia Associated With Homosexual Arousal pp 49-54. Bernstein, G. S.
So c’mon — admit it Concerned. You got a poster of a barechested Justin Timberlake on your wall, don’t you?
Comment by Anon — November 6, 2006 @ 9:48 am
Of course there’s also Roy Cohn — notorious lawyer who helped Joe McCarthy hunt down gays, and Terry Dolan — head of the National Conservative Political Action Committee who went after Sen Ted Kennedy and always used scaring white conservatives with stories of gays taking over to bolster his PAC fundraising.
Both homos, both died of AIDS.
Closet cases think if they yell against gays, it will be their cover.
How’s it working for you, Concerned?
Comment by Anon — November 6, 2006 @ 9:52 am
Gee, concerned. Is it my turn to start posting daily “waiting” comments? Good for the goose, good for the gander, right? Even when the goose is a closet-case?
Comment by Anon — November 7, 2006 @ 4:23 pm
Sorry, dude, I was too busy watching the election returns: 2 more victories for traditional marriage in Tennessee and South Carolina! Maybe you would like to return to your previous talking point about “we’re beating you”. Actually, maybe not.
PS Did you read the part where Ted Haggard confessed to “disgusting and repulsive behavior”? He’s still a good guy, in spite of his succumbing to unnatural tempations.
Comment by Concerned student — November 7, 2006 @ 5:48 pm
Oh concerned, you are so clueless. You just proved the point.
Guys who get all bent out of shape over homo-sex, who think it’s disgusting and repulsive, are very likely to be hiding urges to commit such sex.
Again, concerned — where do you get your massages and meth?
And you know — I’ll take the gay marriage defeats in this election considering how most politicians you would suppport went down to flaming defeat. And if you don’t realize that the Dems taking control will do more for gay marriage than those state contests, then you are doing too much of that meth with your male hustler.
