Greetings from City of Gainesville Student Community Relations Advisory Board
This past Thursday, I attended an event hosted by CAMERA and UF Hillel titled “Less Hamas, More Hummus.”
What I am about to say might not win me any friends at the Alligator, but I must be frank: The current state of American journalism is doing its part to destroy American democracy.
He’s reached worldwide fame while preserving his anonymity, putting the spotlight on the underground street-art scene.

Today, the Nobel Peace Prize will be awarded.
Readers, this is not a drill: Fall is finally upon us in Gainesville. The mornings are crisper, the nights are pleasantly cool, and we’re finally switching from iced coffee to hot pumpkin lattes. Everything is beautiful and nothing hurts.
Obviously, there aren’t many people happy with what’s happening in Washington right now. And because we live in a democracy, citizens can actually hold the members of Congress responsible for the shutdown — but we probably won’t.
Some people have blue eyes, and some people have green eyes. Some people have innie belly buttons, and some people have outie belly buttons.

The government remains in shutdown mode while the president refuses to budge on Obamacare, Republicans do not have an endgame in sight and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid name-calls and refuses to negotiate with the House.
