The idea of screening welfare candidates and recipients for drugs didn’t come out of the blue. Gov. Rick Scott hinted at it during his campaign. In fact, it was one of the few things we thought Scott was on the right track with.

It sometimes seems that high school curricula and “When am I ever gonna use this crap?” go hand in hand. Elective requirements in high school may seem like funny time wasters (I carried a fake baby around for a week and loved every second of it), but as we neared graduation, we looked forward to the end of electives and fixed our gazes on more serious coursework that was actually relevant to a topic and career we chose.
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.)

Charles Darwin’s “On the Origin of Species” was published in 1859, and the theory that life on Earth is in a constant state of evolution was around even before that.

The current military action in Libya is not the same as the Iraq War. Plain and simple.

Security Council resolution.
