This week, I am so sickened and saddened by the cinema shooting in Aurora that it’s difficult to navigate my thoughts on the matter in a coherent fashion. Senseless acts like this boil down to something that not all psychologists and sociologists will admit exists: genuine evil.

Corey: With opening night of the Olympics 15 days away, baseball has begun its media dominance. Naturally, my time has been spent watching countless hours of NCIS reruns. But we here at alligatorSports have a solution: football talk. Yes, it’s time to start dreaming of the gridiron. So, to kick it off, we debate who will win the Southeastern Conference’s East Division this season. And despite kicking them to the curb on NCAA 13 the other day, I’m taking South Carolina — luckily ECU is a non-conference game. The Gamecocks are coming off of an 11-2 record, and with the Ol’ Ball Coach in charge, this is their year.

On June 28, everyone on Facebook suddenly became U.S. Constitution wizards. Experts from the far right to the extreme left spouted their professional opinions and quoted the document like a Shakespearean scholar quotes Hamlet.
It marks the film company’s first fairytale female protagonist and period piece. The main character, Merida, must undo a curse using her skill sets: bravery and archery.
Well, I’m just going to come right out and say it. President Obama is arguably the worst president in American history. Never have the American people been sold such a bill of goods as they have with this man.
