Opinion

Amendment would hurt everyone

What Benjamin Burwell doesn't realize is that the so-called "Marriage Protection Amendment" in Florida has nothing to do with gay marriage. In Florida, same-sex marriage is already banned by two state laws and a state court decision.

Opinion

Vote for marriage amendment is hateful

I will vote against the marriage amendment simply because of Benjamin Burwell's ridiculous column. Essentially, what is a marriage? It is a couple's declaration of commitment. For some it is toward the church, but for all it is toward the government. Therefore, whatever the pope said about marriage doesn't matter to a majority of people. What right does he, or any church, have to define such a term in a country of free thought and religion?

Campaign songs slightly inspirational, annoying

In 1840, presidential candidate William Henry Harrison blew up the charts with the still-bangin' political anthem "Tippecanoe and Tyler Too." A twelve verse-long indictment of his opponent Martin Van Buren, the song probably had all of the novel appeal a Crazy Frog jam would generate today.
