Drugs–not just for Thursday nights
What’s with the 20 masking taped garbage bags on the Plaza? Columbia’s chapter of the Student Global AIDS campaign are raising awareness about Abbott Labs‘ refusal to make a key anti-retroviral drug, Kaletra, available at low prices unless the government of Thailand rescinds an order to import generic versions of the life-saving medicine (read more here). Each bag represents 10,000 people in Thailand who need it. Make a phone call?
Meanwhile, Columbia School moms are holding a doozy of a bakesale on the Sundial–a little something to sweeten up your day after thinking about wasting diseases.

What happened to the Tao Tan post?
For a second I wondered if i had hallucinated that. Quite aside from the worry that I was seeing things, that my first hallucinatory experience would have been an interview with Tao was worrying me.
happened to the Tao Tan’s Senior Wisdom post? I read it a moment ago and, when I clicked back to Bwog, it was gone. What’s up with that?

I GOT A TSHIRT
FUCK SOCIALISM
Global Justice is not a Socialist organization.
GLOBAL SOCIALISM is more like it.
The ISO does not like Global Justice, actually. It does not find Global Justice sufficiently radical.
I say use the third world for experiments but pay them well. Then we get better drugs and they get a little scratch on the side.
