Washington Post's Blog Covers "White Party"

OFF/Beat's Emil Steiner ripped me off!

So the national media in the form of The Washington Post has finally weighed in on the ridiculousness that is Dean Woods' reaction to the "White Party." Granted, they ripped the flyer from my website and didn't give me proper attribution. *starts muttering about the liberal media...* Don't they know that's bad blogging etiquette? For shame... (I'm being only partially serious.)

The Washington Post got a spokesperson for Scripps College on record for saying the following:
"You could see how the poster might be misinterpreted by someone."

No, I really cannot. Maybe an apology won't be forthcoming.

In any event, the party was said to be

"excellent," with more than 1,000 in attendance. Organizers attributed their success to Wood, "who publicized it better than we ever could."

(Take note, Claremont McKenna's PR Department. Looks like we've found someone worth hiring!)

But, here's the best part.

For her misguided attempt at promoting open-mindedness, OFF/beat is proud to award Debra Wood a nomination in OFF/beat's 2008 Idiot of the Year Awards.

Remember to vote early and often!

The comments are hilarious. Here's the one (allegedly) from DJ Timbo.

Hey Yall,

I just want to have a good time and celebrate life through music. I certainly didn't intend to offend anyone. I wasn't even mad when someone drew a mustache on my poster. I have love for people of all races!

Millions of Smiles!
