Only a couple weeks in, the Republican presidential primaries have already given us all we've come to expect from the GOP: baseless attacks and conservative talking points.

I hope you all enjoyed the break as much as I did. While we were away, it looks like the horse race for the Republican presidential nomination got even more unusual with the out-of-nowhere surge of Rick Santorum and the evaporation of the previously prominent Newt Gingrich.

Finland, one of the world's most industrialized countries, has another honor to add to the list: excellent education reform.
Most people would never expect political opposites President Barack Obama and Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez to have a genuinely amicable conversation with each other, much less be photographed in a public lip-lock.
I would like to thank the Alligator as well as the authors of "Obama is No Better Than Che Guevara" for providing one of the best "fake news" articles this side of the Onion. Their send-up of the intellectual inconsistency and naïveté of the extreme left was nothing short of sidesplitting.

While fashion operates by showcasing collections at fashion weeks and magazine ads, the one person that makes that Gucci dress memorable to the masses — especially to the non-fashion educated —is a celebrity.
When I was applying to college, I was fortunate enough to have plenty of options. I couldn't wait to see what financial aid I would be able to get as that would decide where I went. Once the packages started rolling in, I saw that even though my family's income was low, all I qualified for was lots of student loans as my parents were frugal savers.
Halloween is the best holiday ever. No family, no annoying caroling and no fruitcake. Plus, you get to dress up as your favorite superhero, villain or monster and, for the ladies, any sexy "insert profession here."
Paying off student loans is about to become less of a headache.
To get the attention of the Environmental Protection Agency, the Alachua County Commission has taken up letter-writing.
The protests of the "99 percent" occupying Wall Street and the rest of the country are inspiring because they showcase the frustrations of the American people - how they have been screwed over by the upward vortex of wealth-sucking via manufacturing and customer-service jobs going overseas, and the growing disparity between the income of your average CEO and your average worker (now 475-1 in America).
Like all things creative, inspiration can come from music, architecture, your mom — literally anything. Many designers have been using famous art works as a source of inspiration for their designs, color pallet and embellishments.
