After a weekend that saw numerous powerhouses get smacked down by teams ranging from the Spiders to the “whointhehell?”, the Gators lived up to expectations and their inflated seeding, pounding the UC Santa Barbara Gauchos to within an inch of their lives before sliding by UCLA and into the Sweet 16 (or the “fourth round” for those unwilling to infringe on new tradition grounded in irrationality.)

The president must understand our fears about the situation in Libya. Why else would he stress his understanding of the risks of any military action? Why would he emphasize and repeat his intentions of keeping U.S. troops off Libyan soil? Obama is seeing what we’re seeing — a frighteningly familiar scenario of international forces intervening in a country on the brink, complete with the undertones of terrorism and the memorable words of a crazy dictator. We’ve seen this movie before, and we know how it goes. Or do we?

We expect half of our readers will have a massive hangover when they see this, so we’ll make it short.

The Florida Legislature has abandoned the idea of allowing firearms to be carried on college campuses. While the speech made by the father of an FSU woman who was accidentally shot and killed may have ostensibly changed the minds of legislators, we think it has more to do with the opposition the lawmakers encountered.

The Editorial Board is pretty straight-laced, no matter the preconceptions people have of college newspaper editors.

Excuse us if we seem confused. We’re trying to come to grips with the strange feeling of deja vu.

It’s common knowledge that when someone says something like, “No offense, but...” he or she is about to contradict him or herself. After watching a YouTube video making the rounds this week, we’re beginning to see those phrases as red flags. We’re talking about the video University of California — Los Angeles student Alexandra Wallace posted disparaging Asians she saw talking on phones in the school library.

Our hearts go out to the nation of Japan, which is coping with a natural disaster combined with a nuclear threat, the likes of which it has never seen. Most of us have witnessed the horrific images of the damage in the wake of this confluence of problems, be it via Internet, television or newspaper.

We understand that people forfeit some of their rights when they break the law. It’s just, and it’s part of the due punishment our justice system provides.

It’s been a pretty sobering week for us. We’ve been bombarded with stories of budget cuts and constantly reminded of how much money the university, the state and the nation need to stay afloat.

Instant Photoshop is one step closer to reality, but hold off on the celebration.

When we first heard about the 8-1 Supreme Court ruling in favor of the Westboro Baptist Church, we were confused. This ridiculous group protests outside military funerals, including the one in question held for Marine Lance Cpl. Matthew Snyder, putting the families of the soldiers through more grief than necessary.

Remember that 30 percent tuition increase UF President Bernie Machen proposed? It looks like that increase would hit students even harder because the Florida Legislature has to make cuts to Bright Futures after it convenes on March 8.

We’ve been mentioning our governor’s proposed budget cuts here and there, but it’s time to get specific about people on the losing side. Of course, most organizations receiving government funding could be counted among the losers, but the money needs to be sheared from somewhere. We just don’t like that people who are already struggling may have their helping hands abandon them.

Hold on to your wallets, Gators.

It’s been a heck of a week around here. Every Student Government election is stressful for us, but we can never quite get used to having our entire newsroom writing stories, taking photos or shooting video at 1 a.m. on a Thursday morning.

Sure, Ian Murphy, the editor of the Buffalo Beast, got some interesting information out of Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker. The problem is most journalism organizations don’t qualify prank calls as a method of gaining information. Murphy’s call wasn’t exactly the grown-up version of “Is your refrigerator running?” He impersonated one of the governor’s top financial supporters, billionaire David Koch. From his 20-minute conversation, he fished out information on how Gov. Walker was planning to bring the Democrats back into the state.

Too distracted to get that paper written in one sitting?

You hit below the belt, Rush. Well, actually right at the waistline.

Sorry, Bahrain. While your protestors have a righteous cause in overthrowing one of the few absolute monarchies left in the world, you can’t beat crazy.
