Editorial by Matt Gagliano

Dear Readers,

We still don’t have an office, in case you were wondering. But you know what we do have? A new issue! Actually, you probably did already know that. You are currently reading it after all. Shit. You would think that after writing a few of these I would get the hang of it, but it would seem not. Let me start over.

Deer Readers,

Fuck! I already messed it up! What is wrong with me?! I literally just implied that everyone reading this was a deer. Obviously you’re not a deer, deer can’t read. Ugh, this editorial is a complete mess. Let me start over again.

Dear Readers,

Nailed it! Welcome to the new issue of Binghamton Review! I’m sure that you, as a human and most certainly NOT a deer, will enjoy the many things that this issue has to offer. Not that I’m saying that deer aren’t allowed to enjoy our content, Binghamton Review is for everyone, it’s just that most of our audience is human. I mean, I would certainly be open to increasing our deer readership, I just don’t really know how we would go about that. Dammit, I’m going off on a tangent again, aren’t I? Roll the intro again!

Dear Readers,

I’m running out of space, so let’s just get down to it. We have no office, I like complaining, yada yada yada. Here are some of the articles in this issue: “From Super Bass to Super Based: The Tale of Ballgate” by Joe Badalamenti on page 8. It’s very cool and good. Read it. We also have “This is How We Treat Our Heroes?” by Tommy Gagliano on page 9. Contrary to my initial thought, it is actually about healthcare workers, and not Superman. It’s also pretty good. Read it! We also have “Boy, I Wish I Had a Club Office” by Madeline Perez on page 13. I wonder what that one is about? Just kidding, I think it’s pretty obvious to everyone but the deer. It is also very good. READ IT! If you want to know what other articles are in this issue, simply look to your left and read the table of contents. Given that it’s always there, right next to the editorial, it really makes this whole song and dance seem pointless, doesn’t it? Whatever, who cares. Just read the damn articles!

Sincerely,

Matt Gagliano

Binghamton Review is a non-partisan, student-run news magazine of conservative thought founded in 1987 at Binghamton University. A true liberal arts education expands a student’s horizons and opens one’s mind to a vast array of divergent perspectives. The mark of true maturity is being able to engage with these perspectives rationally while maintaining one’s own convictions. In that spirit, we seek to promote the free and open exchange of ideas and offer alternative viewpoints not normally found or accepted on our predominately liberal campus. We stand against tyranny in all of its forms, both on campus and beyond. We believe in the principles set forth in this country’s Declaration of Independence and seek to preserve the fundamental tenets of Western civilization. It is our duty to expose the warped ideology of political correctness and cultural authoritarianism that dominates this university. Finally, we understand that a moral order is a necessary component of any civilized society. We strive to inform, engage with, and perhaps even amuse our readers in carrying out this mission.
