The Rhetorical Situation, Feb. 26, 2010

Jacob and I muse about the life of the grad student on The Rhetorical Situation today, and a man working to improve it stops by to talk about bargaining with the university to get more cash--Rob Hess, VP of Bargaining for the Coalition of Graduate Employees (CGE).

Not to mention, a ton of great music: Dr. Dog, Local Natives, the Watson Twins, Dirty Mittens, and obligatory Spoon.
