When George W. Bush ran for president as a compassionate conservative, many of us who didn't know any better thought that silly comments were as bad as it could get. Don't vote for Bush, we thought, he's a buffoon! Sadly, in the words of Bush himself, we "misunderestimated" his capacity for harm. Now, three years later, here is the math of the war this President wrought.
Remember all that affirmative action fuss? Grutter v. Bollinger, Bakke, Supreme Court -- all frequently-used Google keywords a few months ago.

Last year, the Dartmouth Hockey Club finished with the all time best record in team history with ten wins and thirteen losses. After a lousy first half of the season, the Clubbers recuperated and barreled their way through the second half, winning seven of their eleven games during the winter term. Despite the recent success, this year sadly looks set to be one of substantial rebuilding due to notable losses in both management and on the bench.
