Hurricane Gustav has passed with, thankfully, little damage, allowing Republicans to drop all pretenses of bipartisanship and launch into what, in my mind, is the nastiest convention in recent history.
A letter to the editor in Wednesday's paper described Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain's economic plan as sound.
Isn't it hilarious that on the same day that the Alligator prints the rants of a representative for College Democrats and a representative from Gators for McCain, it runs an editorial decrying the bipartisan trash talking of political hacks?
Hopefully, UF will take a big green leap in the right direction today.
As if the bus ride home didn't take long enough already, upcoming road construction on Newberry and Archer is forcing the Editorial Board to break out the Google Maps and study Gainesville's back roads harder than we study for class.
Liberal bias runs rampant on the Syracuse University campus, even in places you wouldn't expect.
Countless Gulf Coast communities lie in the wake of Hurricane Gustav's path and are now in desperate need of rebuilding to help salvage the lives of thousands.
Despite its obvious appeal to a culture still enamored with war, Sen. John McCain's past as a tortured POW is in fact his greatest shortcoming. It is precisely what makes him ill-suited to lead us into an acceptable future.

Looks like the Gator, err, Swamp Party - wait, which semester is it again?
In Tuesday's Alligator, College Republicans Chairman Bryan Griffin said that Sen. John McCain's pick for vice president, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was a person of honesty and integrity.
Mark McShera's letter to the editor Tuesday stands as one of the more egregious examples of incendiary fear-mongering I have seen yet during this campaign.
The Alligator rendered an opinion that I feel most forward-thinking persons would find shortsighted and disagreeable.
UF President Bernie Machen declared in his State of the University address Thursday that UF lacks the resources it needs because of a "gloomy economy." Perhaps he should have taken this into consideration before endorsing Sen. John McCain in January.
Typically we only dole out laurels at the end of the week, but given the circumstances, we don't mind handing out a big one to start the week. Besides, a little positive opining once in a while couldn't hurt.
The abortion debate always manages to rear its ugly head, but now it's finding more inconspicuous ways to do so.
You're here. You've made it back to Gainesville, and some of you are here for the first time. That's great. Now get the hell out of here.
In a move that was timed to steal media attention from Sen. Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech at the close of the Democratic National Convention, Sen. John McCain announced Gov. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate. Although the media craze surrounding her would have you think she is a demigod among mortal choices, Palin is not McCain's strongest possible vice presidential choice.
I recently returned from a summer studying Chinese in Beijing. It was an intense summer, to say the least, in a war zone of culture fought in the urban jungle that is Beijing. The language barrier was daunting, the food hard to digest and the cabbies had a death wish that Charles Bronson couldn't deliver on.
