As an atheist and a divisive jerk (which are not mutually inclusive), there's not much that I enjoy more than watching a fundamentalist Christian argue a modernized Christian.

UF coach Urban Meyer is a big fan of telling his players they have a 90 percent chance of winning when they block a punt. He hasn't given them odds for blocking two punts and a field goal yet, but cornerback Joe Haden seems to have figured it out.

Who is Joe Six-Pack? It's a question I've been mulling over ever since the term came up in last week's vice presidential debate. It's pretty clear what image the phrase is supposed to conjure up in the American psyche: He's the average Joe, the hardworking member of the middle class who kicks back with a beer after a long day of work.
The signs are all around town. "Free gas with lease." "Two months rent free." "Free scooter with lease."
As a first generation American, I have never allowed my father's Lebanese and Arab ethnicity to influence my political views as an American. This has changed, however, in this election. Sen. Barack Obama, whose father was Kenyan, simply has a misguided foreign policy in the Middle East. While most Americans will agree that going into Iraq was a mistake, life is once again returning to normal in the streets of Baghdad. In the last eight years, democratic governments have been institutionalized in Lebanon and the Palestinian territories, and a respect for human rights has emerged in American allies in the region, including Egypt and Jordan.

May I suggest a way to celebrate this momentous occasion? Turn on CNN on election night, and every time Wolf Blitzer or one of his minions says the phrase "best political team on television," take a drink. You'll be plastered, hungover and sober again well before anyone knows who won Florida.
Since 1966, the Republican Party has been held together by a tripod of issues and standpoints: foreign policy, economic and fiscal conservatism and the creation of cultural resentment. Today, its case for the presidency has been whittled down to one argument.
Libertarian Party presidential candidate Bob Barr wove his way up and down over the grassy seats of the Reitz Union Amphitheater before his speech Tuesday evening, shaking hands and chatting with audience members.
Every morning when I get to campus, I find an Alligator newspaper and thumb through it. I am never surprised to find this liberally biased newspaper having some type of derogatory editorial referencing Sen. John McCain, Gov. Sarah Palin or the Republican Party.
Election 2008 has finally cast all of its actors.
Looks like the Gator, err, Swamp Party - wait, which semester is it again?
