I would love to have more details on this BYU-dean email situation. Was it an alumni directory that they sent out a mass email soliciting support for Romney? If so, why didn't I get one? I'm an alumnus. Of course, maybe they just chose the high roller, big money type and not the $5 to Lighting the Way kind of guys.

I guess I'm not as outraged at this as others may be. Maybe they were sending to some emails to some buddies while eating lunch in their office. Why would anyone think that simply because the emails were sent from campus on a .edu account that it would imply a church or institutional endorsement of a candidate? Thats just plain silly.
