Bryan Fischer will use any source, even students, if it promotes the hate.
Never mind the Iraq debacle or the governor’s slush fund, good bad ole Bryan Fischer is all atwitter over the latest misuse of tax dollars: transgendered bathrooms at Boise State University! Yep, right here on our hometown campus: state-funded sexual perversity! “Yes, BSU is planning to use public dollars to build restrooms reserved [...]
BYU Dems more active than BSU’s.
Last week, 400 (by their count) BYU students protested the selection of Dick Cheney to be their commencement speaker. They have a very active website and organization, apparently. In comparison, where the heck are the BSU College Democrats? There were conspicuously absent when the College Republicans threw their insulting and infantile anti-immigration [...]
Conservative students go whining to Legislature over “Liberal” speakers
The poor, opressed conservatives of BSU have their tighty whities in such a bunch that there’s only one institution that can pick that wedgie: the Idaho Legislature. Thursday Bob Kustra will have to answer for BSU’s hosting of the likes of Al Gore when he speaks before the Senate Education Committee, according to an [...]

BSU Students: Give Me Ann Coulter!
It’s hard being conservative in Idaho. Imagine: you have control of the house, senate, governorship, all four congressional seats, the attorney general…heck, every single statewide office, and I’d even add control over the largest newspaper in the state.

“It also didn’t hurt that I married Mr. Simplot’s daughter”
Betsy Russell, of Eye on Boise, caught this admission by Gov. Butchy-Boy Otter.
“I wouldn’t have been able to get into a college any place because I didn’t have very good grades,” Otter said. “But at Boise Junior College they had to take me.” Boise Junior College is now Boise State University.
Otter said the chance to [...]
Mad Bronco syndrome.
When will it stop? Congress has got Bronco Fever, as does the Postal Service. Just once I’d like to see someone go nutty for, say, the BSU accounting department.
BSU and…horny manatees?
I saw that Boise State was mentioned in today’s NY Times, in an article about absurdist mascots:Â
The skit, as scripted for the Dec. 4 installment of “Late Night With Conan O’Brien,†was about absurdist college sports mascots that the host and his writers would like to see someday. Among them were “the Boise State Conjoined [...]
