Some of my classic college work available online

Posted By on April 18, 2012

When I was in college I wrote and was a section editor for the Spartan Weekly, MSU’s answer to The Onion. A while back the original site, spartanweekly.com, went dark and I assumed, like many college ventures, it didn’t last long after the original founders graduated.

While the site sadly hasn’t been updated since November, there may be hope yet some student will take up the charge and rebuild the Spartan Weekly to the glory of the Lieber-Castiglione years.

Until then enjoy a small handful of my articles that were published at the tail end of my tenure at The Spartan Weekly.

I was contacted by ABC News for use of the clip for part of a story. It aired on Good Morning America. The episode can be found here. The clip airs at about the 15:25 mark.

A new National Lampoon piece looks into budget priorities, such as whether money spent on wars (specifically air conditioning them) could better be spent getting undersexed nerds to search the stars for space booty.

Also I was part of a tpaing of the final episode of Cracked.com’s webseries Agents of Cracked. I will be posting a link next week when it comes out.
