An artist's rendering of the general flavor of this article.
If you have ever had your moments of doubt about the so-called liberal media, look no further than yesterday’s above-the-fold cover story in the esteemed Cornell Daily Sun. The article describes the pain, dismay, and utter, utter misfortune that 25 prospective students endured at the hands of the evil (Evil?) Office of Financial Aid. What happened was this: FinAid accidentally sent out a high-five e-mail to those 25 students, who had already been mercilessly rejected. According to the article, “Students who received the article said they were confused, disappointed, and outraged.”

Meet the Cornell Daily Pun’s 127th Editorial Board

Monday, March 2nd, 2009

Oh hey Daily Pun.
Oh hey Daily Pun.
As they say, the Pun rises in the yeast. What I mean by this is that the newly elected Daily Sun’s 127th Editorial Board loves to pun, and also that this new Sun is “rising” in an alcohol-fermented haze much akin to the Friday mornings of most “journalists.” On all counts, I wholeheartedly approve!

We’re very sorry to have to tell you that the well-meaning people over at the Ithacan ran a story in the Accent Section about us. Somehow they just kinda snuck up on me and asked some questions, and I’m really at a loss for how they got that picture. In it, I think I was saying something to the extent of, “What are you people doing here? Please, our little rag is not worthy!”

In all seriousness, though, we’re indebted to the Ithacan, especially to Accent Editor Edon Ophir and writer Maggie Hibma, for covering us. Now maybe we merit a Wikipedia page. Last time we tried to put one up some meany-poo editors called us a “non-notable student publication” and promptly deleted our page. We’ll show them now!
