As Google and China continue their convoluted Mexican standoff across the South China Sea and our country slogs through divisive political struggles and rampant joblessness, I decided to do something proactive and start a cult.

One of the best parts of the latest fad in American federal legislating is how the actual content of our billion-dollar bills remain completely secret until after they are signed into law. It’s like a scratch-off lottery ticket, and who doesn’t love the excitement and anticipation of scratch-offs?

Today roughly marks the one-year anniversary of the unquestioned pinnacle of Barack Obama’s presidency – the bracket he filled out for last year’s NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament. Mired in the muck of a massively unsatisfying and restive term as the leader of the free world, President Obama now must re-calibrate his approach and perhaps use the basketball acumen of his inner circle to a decided political advantage.

Since the last blog post spoke about what privacy meant to millions of Facebook users, this post will let you learn about a few privacy concerns related to Facebook that can prove to be extremely useful to you.

It looks like the word privacy is no longer an accepted practice or belief for the 350 million users of the most popular social networking Web site in the world, Facebook.

With most of the national political spotlight soaked up by a lurching, half-hearted détente concerning health care, Sen. John McCain sneaked a bill onto the Senate floor last month that could drastically reshape the entire supplement and vitamin industries. Washington insiders, speaking anonymously and way off the record, believe that this never would have happened if McCain were still alive.

Today’s post (the last in the job-related Facebook series) will help you to clean up your profile and make sure that your profile stands out (or at least makes a decent impression) to people (read: potential /current employers).

Last week, I spoke about the factors that could influence a potential employer against hiring you. This week I am going to concentrate on the factors that could positively influence employers and force them to hire you.

I thought nothing had the ability to drag me kicking and screaming away from a television when high-stakes international curling was on, but the substantial debate surrounding the Student Government elections at UF this year managed to do the trick.

Let’s look at some numbers regarding tuition and fees. When I started at UF in fall 2008, tuition and fees were $126 per credit hour. Bright Futures Scholarship Program still paid 100 percent of this cost. This year, tuition and fees are $146 per credit hour. That’s a $20 increase per credit hour. This becomes $300 more in total for an undergraduate taking 15 credit hours. At the same time, Bright Futures no longer pays 100 percent of tuition and fees costs but a fixed $126. The $20 increase in tuition/fees had to come from the pockets (or other scholarships) of undergraduates.

The announcement by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei of an Iranian surprise that will “punch” the rest of the world and leave them “stunned” was met with an exaggerated yawn this week from a Western media enervated by vague threats from heavily bearded men.

Ok, I promised that I would do the do’s and don’ts of Facebook when it comes to jobs this week, but this event is just too big to remain inconspicuous and even I can’t stay away from it.

Starring in a controversial anti-abortion commercial bankrolled by a fundamentalist Christian group, Tim Tebow headlines the first-ever “issue ad” aired on Super Bowl Sunday and has effectively hijacked the pre-Super Bowl hype machine.

All of us have used Facebook to vent. We voice our opinions in our statuses and express our emotions by uploading intimate moments through pictures and videos. It makes us feel like a part of other people’s lives, and allows us to share our moments and views with others.

There are many avenues President Obama could have traversed with his first State of the Union speech, and I suppose that he can be forgiven for wanting to stick with whatever it is his teleprompter told him to say Wednesday night. I probably would have paid attention if he were wearing a T-shirt with three wolves on it.

Some people believe that Tuesday’s Republican victory in Massachusetts, which may have cut the throat of health care reform, was big news. I beg to differ. The big news came out of a large room holding nine small people and a few witnesses on Thursday afternoon. It was doomsday for the individual in American politics. The Supreme Court decided on Thursday that corporations and unions are no longer beholden to the rules that had limited their spending on federal elections. Remember that date. Because the gargantuan coffers of those corporations and unions are now open very, very wide, and the words “shall make no law abridging the freedom of speech” have led to some very murky consequences. Justice John Paul Stevens read a long, lonely dissent from the bench. He called the decision “a rejection of the common sense of the American people, who have ... fought against the distinctive corrupting potential of corporate electioneering since the time of Theodore Roosevelt.”
