I Love the Smell of Jasmine in the Morning


Welcome to the Spring Semester of BGIA's incisive blog on international affairs. With Egypt hanging in the balance and a wide world of implications dying to be discussed, there's no excuse for this to be a dead zone. Our blog is meant to dissect and distill ideas down to their intellectual stock, like the apples in the press behind me. So, blog away, remembering these rules:


  • Be respectful: Whether blogging about a person, an ethnic group or a nation, we won't be perjorative on this blog. Smart, witty, humorous, ironic, even scathing criticism all have a place here. Insults and insensitivity do not.

  • Sign Your posts: remember to put your name on your posts - otherwise, the autosignature will be "Bardblogger." Anonymous posts are not permitted on this blog.

  • Comment: Commenting is as important as blogging. I want to see conversations going on, back and forth discussions of the issues we surface.

  • Tell your friends: anyone can read or comment on our blog. However, the password you have is confidential. Do Not Share outside my class.

That's it, blog away BGIA.

  2. I'm glad to see a Bard related communication acknowledging the oft' overlooked intellectual stock of fruit. May all of Earth's beings be recognized for their basic constituent elements, intellectual stock included.
