Taking the war on women to the next step, conservatives are pushing for low-income women to be denied healthcare.
Ah, the last days of the Summer semester are upon those among us still attending, and we now stand upon the precipice of a difficult time for some students. I’m not referring to the distinct lack of sunshine over the past week, nor do I speak lightly of nights many will spend studying for their finals or finishing their final projects.
Deflategate has been blown out of proportion, and Tom Brady has no one to blame but himself.

Dear readers, we can all agree that Donald Trump is the worst, right? I don’t ask that question as if it’s a matter of relativity, or in a “one man’s trash is another man’s treasure” type of way: Is it not universally accepted that Donald Trump makes Kim Jong-un look like a reasonable human being in comparison? At least Kim acts within the established parameters for how a statesman ought to behave in North Korea (that is to say, like a petulant child). No such boundaries exist for the Trump.
Greetings and salutations friends! Today we stand upon the precipice of a new day, a glorious beginning, and the furious onset of an all new, never-before-seen edition of…Darts and Laurels.
Just like with anything else you own, if you take care of your car it will look newer longer and its aesthetics will last longer. Here is a simple list of ways to detail your car and tips for keeping it looking fresh.
Junior Seau was one of the best linebackers in the history of the NFL. His ability and his longevity were something that amazed his peers in the sport. He played for 20 seasons, which is an achievement in itself because the average NFL player is out of the league within three years.
When I first heard about MTV’s documentary about being white in America, I was skeptical of how well the issue would be handled. But Jose Antonio Vargas’ “White People” pleasantly surprised me, spurring conversations that need to happen more often.
News of a shooting on campus is a guaranteed recipe for fear and trepidation in the nation’s heart, and even more so locally when news of the shooting is as close to home as Murphree Hall at UF.

In the early 2000s, the refrain “We will not negotiate with terrorists” proved popular among conservatives. With the nation still reeling from the pain of the Sept. 11 attacks — and our military then deeply embedded in Iraq and Afghanistan — this oft-repeated mantra served no purpose other than to undermine the multitude of criticisms lobbied against President George W. Bush’s “War on Terror.”
We’re nearing the end stretch of the summer semesters and I’m sure you readers are aching to make the days count. Let us keep those spirits up with another riveting edition of…Darts and Laurels.
I’ve always feared a "Minority Report" situation. You know, when Tom Cruise tries to make a run for it, but the bad guys are in the government so they take control of his car? They lock him inside his own car, lock all the controls and set the car to return to police headquarters. Tom is forced to kick out a window and huff it on foot in traffic.
In the Democratic primary race, as of today, there’s Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders and everyone else. While the coverage of Sanders’ campaign is exciting, what he doesn’t have is the idolization that a lot of people have for Clinton. Her supporters are willing to look past her flaws and assume good intentions. No amount of argument will convince them there’s a possibility the emails that we should be most concerned about were not released to the State Department.
Guns are a pretty hot topic. They shoot things. They often harm things. And they have a distressing habit of occasionally bringing harm to those we’d prefer stay safe.
