PWD People Of The Year: Stephen Morse

Back before I was even a “hungry young cub” — description of me courtesy of Phillymag — I was an editor for two years at the Daily Pennsylvanian, Penn’s student paper. And so, I know that every semester the columnists change in a process that’s both long and annoying as hell and makes you wonder how anyone ever got into Penn since oh my God, none of these people can write.

But I digress. This means — and brace yourself for this — we could be losing Stephen Morse. For the past semester, Morse has been an online columnist on the DP’s The Spin. And there’s no telling if he’ll re-apply or, even if he does, if he’ll be selected.

Consider this an impassioned plea to both Morse and the DP editorial board. We cannot lose Stephen Morse. Consider:

• He attended a rally for Darfur in New York and came back pissed that American blacks weren’t there to rally with him.
• He bashed Pulitzer finalist Inga Saffron for her review of Penn’s new Skirkanich Hall, instead comparing the building to “a giant glassy booger.”
• He revealed to the public that Bob Casey is pro-life.
• He detailed a bad smell in a Penn building.
• And he gave us this video:
  

Clearly, Stephen Morse was a Person of the Year for 2006. I think he deserves a shot at a repeat nomination.
