This is to correct something a letter said Friday: Americans do not elect leaders to alter their country. Now just to quickly get to my point, a leader is meant to usher in what is best for a group of people.
The city’s actions prohibiting bars and restaurants from serving ladies’ nights specials are anything but an anti-discrimination attempt. If the city wants to stop promoting stereotypes and societal divisions, maybe it should focus its efforts on making sure that men and women are treated equally in the workplace, especially in matters of equal pay for equal work.
Bright Futures should not be a need-based scholarship. It was merit-based not to reward students for being successful in high school, but to entice those successful students to stay at Florida schools.
It would seem that Dove World Outreach Center has a pastor appropriately named. Having viewed the video of his hate-filled rhetoric concerning a runoff election for mayor of the fine city of Gainesville, I believe that the minister in question, Wayne Sapp, definitely is one. Hatred in the name of Jesus is simply unbiblical, hypocritical and unacceptable. Shame!
We understand Republicans are super pissed that whole historic social welfare, insurance-for-the-poor bill passed last week, and why shouldn’t they be? Who cares about the mere 32 million Americans who will now be able to afford crazy things like hospital visits and life-saving medication?

Our favorite She-Bangin’ singer will most definitely not be banging any more “shes.”

In the old days, grabbing a fistful of altar boy would get you a cop car ride, a trial and a new girlfriend named LaDarius.

First, it was the disturbingly homophobic fliers accusing Gainesville mayoral candidate Craig Lowe of being “responsible for legally allowing men in women’s restrooms.”
In the game of politics, Double J just rolled a double zero.
Rarely is this question posed: Have I unknowingly been in the hot tub time machine or has the past week or so been a really wicked case of déjà vu? I have recently been asking myself this as a series of seemingly long-exhausted events came to an incredibly startling — OK, slightly entertaining — temporal intersection.
We’re not sure about you, but it’s been quite an eventful week here at the Alligator.
In the days following the signing of the crown-jewel of Democratic domestic policy, the Alligator’s Editorial Board, its gallery of columnists and other esteemed members of the media have been touting victory for the president in the 100 Years War for universal health care in the United States.
