In a move that can only be labeled as an attempt to become the super-exclusive “Mean Girls” of Capitol Hill, GOP-elected officials rallied behind an agenda Sunday based largely on bullying their boss: Mr. President.
UF has a case of the Mondays.
Even The Bieber isn’t immune to bullying.
I am disappointed The Editorial Board worried about a setback to the gay rights movement and gun control in the same sentence. On one hand, The Editorial Board wants to grant more rights, yet on the other it wants to take rights away. Did you know Florida is actually a state where concealed carry has been legal since 1988? In all that time, only 0.02 percent of carry permits have been revoked. That means 99.98 percent of permit holders have been perfectly good, law-abiding citizens.
After this week, we’re seeing red.
Thursday’s cartoon “Spin to Win” might be amusing, but it leans on a myth about philosophy majors the data simply do not support.
Bravo to columnist Nate Rushing for his Thursday column.
As humans, we tend to lose lots of things.
A friend of mine was required to watch “Singing in the Rain” for a class last week. She, like all blue-blooded Americans who have anything remotely close to a heart, loved the movie that tells the whimsical, fictitious story of the first talking movies. This prompted me to look up some of the singing and dancing numbers from the film. As I browsed through “Make ‘em Laugh,” “Singing in the Rain,” etc., I realized something: We settle for some sorry excuses for pop stars these days.
Imagine going to a coffee shop, ordering your typical 12-ounce latte and being charged for a 20-ounce drink. The shop doesn’t have room to hold any more wasteful small cups, and the large, which costs a good deal more, will lead to higher profits for the premier coffee institution.
Wednesday’s guest column by Stephen Bartholomew from the University of Toledo on the justification of WikiLeaks’ releases is ridiculous.
The Brits have a big problem. In fact, they have an extra-extra-extra-extra-large problem to wrap their minds and belts around.
Congratulations to the 112th United States Congress and the new governor of the great state of Florida.
Mediocre journalism does more harm than good.
There are many problematic statements in Nate Rushing’s article. First of all, he suggests criminally charging abortion clinics and doctors, who provide a much-needed service.
In Nate Rushing’s Thursday column, Rushing said “there’s strong evidence for an abortion and breast cancer link” and cited the discredited, conspiratorial abortionbreastcancer.com group as his source.
Now that the bloodletting has stopped and we collectively nurse our wounds after a messy and angry election cycle, the mantle of governance weighs heavy on newly minted insurgent members of Congress.
Can someone please explain the difference between journalism and advertising to the political science majors working for the editorial staff?
If the proposed ordinance to enforce a 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. airboat curfew in Alachua County passes, it will cost county taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. During two years of public hearings on this issue, county reports have come to the conclusion that Alachua County has no compelling reason to adopt an airboat curfew. The county attorneys have indicated the same.
I admit — I wept when Jon Stewart announced “The Rally to Restore Sanity.” Since entering college, this girl, who once thought there were no such things as “stupid people,” had grown into the kind of person burdened with very real nausea at a glimpse of Fox News. Or any news program, for that matter. Any message board, too. Any public political dialogue that descended into arrogance and insanity — and so many do. The reaction frustrated me, and when Stewart called for a rally to encourage reasonableness and respect in public discourse, I felt my anxieties might be soothed.
