I congratulate Allie Conti for venturing outside her comfort zone, but I am disappointed as to how little her horizons were truly broadened. While her observations as to the United Pentecostal Church may be accurate (I've never been there), expanding her generalizations to cover an entire denomination based on one visit is sloppy.
They catch you as soon as you come in.
In response to these depressing days of fiscal failure and the realization of the tenuous grip most people have on their homes and their jobs, Americans of every stripe seem to be clinging to their guns and blogs.

I was dismayed to read the misrepresentation and misinformation in Kyle Robisch's Friday column. Representing the Fall 2007 Progress Party as pompous and not distinguishing it from the new Progress Party is intellectually dishonest.

The butting of heads was clearly displayed during Wednesday's presidential concluding remarks, Sunday's debate and many other times.
Student Government parties bombarded students with campaign materials and creative expressions of partisanship on Monday in a final push to win votes before elections, which begin today from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. and continue on Wednesday.
Even as a naïve freshman, I have already been exposed to far more Student Government politics than anyone would ever want to know.

They do a marvelous job, those pamphlet pushers, because once again I'm devoting another 500 words to their collective cause.
Ah, the naiveté of being a UF freshman.
