Darts & Laurels 09/16/16: Trump, South Park and technology

You’re sitting alone in your car in Archer Road’s typical rush-hour traffic. As a small commando unit of scooters whizzes by you left and right, you fiddle with the radio, looking for something to listen to. As you’re navigating through the various snippets of sound, one station grabs your attention and demands you to listen. It’s just one man’s voice, chanting something over and over and over again. You find this uncomfortable and unsettling. What is it this strange man chants? Well, dear readers, that something is…

Column: Hillary Clinton is the 'safety' presidential candidate

While Hillary Clinton seems like the most qualified candidate, she is also the least challenging to the wealthy on the Democratic side and only comes out with progressive stances when it is safe to and when the majority already supports her proposal.

Column: Trump as president would be a disaster

Donald Trump started his campaign being viewed as a joke. No one thought a businessman with no governing experience would ever get this close to winning the nomination. Now, it’s no longer improbable that he will win the nomination. When it comes to delegates, Trump is clearly in the lead after bringing in about 250 delegates on Super Tuesday. If he wins the nomination, he has a strong possibility of becoming president. It’s time to consider what type of president he might be.
