Since it's officially spring and love is in the air, I've started researching the "science" behind romance. While this information is worth sharing, it cannot begin to explain a concept more complex than the human eye and more confusing than the movie "Vanilla Sky."
What would you be willing to risk for a slimmer nose? A bustier chest?
Last Friday, Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico endorsed Sen. Barack Obama for the Democratic Party presidential nomination.
It has been said that the winners write the history books. If Executive Order 13233 isn't repealed, the mediocre and incompetent will get their chance.
It is fair to say that nothing in Iraq has gone as the United States planned or intended, but the war was hardly built on lies or oil. Mistakes were made, and the Bush administration is to blame, but its plan was bold and its intentions were noble.
Thomas Mortenson, senior scholar at the Pell Institute for the Study of Opportunity in Higher Education, raised the alarm in gender bias across campuses recently.
The war in Iraq is completely f-ing absurd. Four short of 4,000 Americans have died - f-ing horrible. This war is f-ing useless.
It's the first day of spring. Birds are chirping, the sun is shining and your car is being towed from the side of Library West.
You think colleges should allow students to carry guns on campus? Are you crazy?" I hear the familiar arguments once again. Terrible and tragic images flow in this steady stream of pure verbal disbelief - images of a student irritated with his English test grade pulling a gun on his teacher or images of a student opening fire in a crowded auditorium of students peacefully taking an exam.
Exactly five years ago, President Bush addressed the nation to announce the commencement of Operation Iraqi Freedom, a nifty euphemism for new American imperialism.
It is official: Democrats who voted in Florida's January 29 primary were pretty much wasting their time. On the bright side, no one is required to return that "I Voted" sticker.
Vladimir Putin, named "Person of the Year" by Time magazine and the man who changed Western nations' perceptions about his home country, is no longer the president of the Russian Federation.
I'm not an expert on election-year politics, nor have I ever wanted to play one on TV. (Have you ever seen any of those guys?)
The record album, the horse-drawn carriage, the abacus, the establishment of dating - that's just a short list of some things that have become obsolete. And here is a list what replaced them: the compact disc, the automobile, the calculator, high-tech dating.
A nice, traffic-congested drive down Archer Road will reveal to you a beautiful new apartment complex called The Bartram, which boasts lavish, "green" living.
By the time the average reader views this article, most will have seen the supposed video of a member of the United States military throwing puppy off of a cliff in Iraq.
The actions of the U.S. Marine shown throwing a puppy off a cliff in an Internet video are shameful and denounced by the Animal Activists of Alachua. That a person could take pleasure in the abuse and suffering of an innocent animal is appalling and cannot be justified. Animal cruelty is a felony in many states, and the Marine should be dishonorably discharged and serve prison time if the video is depicting reality. He should not be shown leniency in this matter based on the fact that he is a Marine. In fact, members of the military should be held to a higher standard.
The American people have been fed a steady diet of fear for the better part of the last seven years. Since the harrowing hours of Sept. 11, our media and politicians have done their best to scare the living daylights out us by incessantly informing us that its not a matter of if there will be another terrorist attack, but when.
