"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Adviser Sought




'A University of Texas at San Antonio student is in the planning stages of forming a pornography club on campus, station KSAT 12 reported.

The student, Riley Jackson Starr, is posting fliers on campus in hopes of recruiting at least five students to Club X, which would watch and discuss sexually oriented materials.

"We'll look to see if it violates any of our policies here at UTSA," said Vice-President David Gabler said.

He added that Starr has yet to submit the proper paperwork, which would need to be reviewed by attorneys.

Starr would also be required to get a professor to be an official adviser, which hasn't happened yet.

"You know, this is our school and we want to project a good image to other people and other schools," a male student said. "And so, to have kids in Club X would kind of give us that bad impression."

"I don't think sexual activity should be brought to our school other than for informational purposes," a female student said.

In her MySpace.com page, Starr claims to be [a] strip club dancer.'
