In the midst of the prejudice, discrimination and hate that seemed to rule the era, an act of kindness in regard to these students’ well-being catapulted numerous other significant events.

The opening day of the Republican National Convention, President Barack Obama announced he finalized his plan to raise Corporate Average Fuel Efficiency to 54.5 mpg by 2025.
Of all the seemingly shocking statistics that Conservatives love to sputter in defense of their regressive tax policies, their favorite must be that 47 percent of Americans pay no federal income tax. Astounding, isn’t it? How can those pinko-commie hippies at Occupy Wall Street complain about tax cuts for the rich, when almost half the nation doesn’t pay taxes?
I have been an avid Taylor Swift fan since her early country days. My obsession with her music has led me to two of her concerts, and her songs are the most played on my iTunes account.
YouTube has been flooded with goo-gobs of smear ads and “vote for” propaganda in recent weeks, punctuating my latest romp with superhero cartoons. I’m not bitter, though.

It’s a well-known truth that MTV took its main focus off music long ago. For the past few years, the only time I’ve ever really watched the network has been for music videos broadcast late at night or into the early morning and to see interesting episodes of the documentary series “True Life.”

Many Democrats looked forward to first lady Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention on Tuesday. Her performance was a genuine yet expected testament to her husband’s character.

We have reached a critical stage in our nation’s history. Facing a slow recovery from the Great Recession, and a nearly insurmountable debt crisis, the time is rapidly approaching for America to make a choice about its current and future direction.
I’m not what many people would consider an avid TV-watcher. For reasons I don’t know, I completely lost interest in TV upon entering college. After all, one can only watch the Disney Channel for so long.
Language is a funny thing.

As a much-anticipated college football season kicks off at The Swamp this weekend, it may be appropriate to look almost 1,000 miles north to Beaver Stadium in State College, Pa.
I would like to address a gender inequality that has vexed me greatly the past two weeks. Both Tropical Storm Isaac and the general rainy nature of Florida have characterized the beginning of classes by a stoic low-energy conflict with nature.
