Not Another Sappy Retrospective or Thank You List

Gabriel Dobbs  —  Dec 4, 2009

Some advice to majority of columnists who will write their last article in May: Oscar speeches should stay in L.A. This being my final column, I will seek to avoid the traditional laundry list of thank you’s, emotional fare thee wells and pompous proselytizing that go hand-in-hand with these goodbyes. But I am also not going to waste my last chance to speak to The Sun’s faithful readership discussing Obama drama, prison politics or the much anticipated release of the sequel to Hustler porno “Who’s Naylin’ Paylin.” Rather, this article is a west coaster’s mea culpa — an apology for my close mindedness and an explanation of my transformation.

The Beginning of the End of the Beginning

Today marks the 100th day of President Barack Obama’s current term in office. News media hype aside, the President’s 100th day is an important milestone for the American public’s perception of the Executive Branch and has served as a definite marker for policymaking decisions since the times of FDR. The actions taken by the president within his first five months are indicative both of his priorities and of his leadership style. Most importantly, however, the 100th day unofficially cements the tone the president wishes to set throughout the remaining three-plus year in office.

End of an Era

Eric Finkelstein  —  Apr 27, 2009

Law school final exams start a week earlier than the rest of the University’s, so, as you read this, I’m likely either taking my Trusts and Estates exam or furiously preparing for my Federal Courts one. As a result, this column, my last one, is going to be short and sweet.

Graduating Sun columnists’ swan songs generally contain two traditional elements: one relatively mandatory, and one technically frowned upon.

The mandatory tradition: explaining your column’s moniker.

The illicit one: thanking every single person you met during your time on The Hill.
