Ritalin. Concerta. Vyvanse. Adderall. The Editorial Board is willing to bet that you know at least one person who has been prescribed one of them.
Walter Cronkite died Friday evening. He was 92. I think it/s fitting that the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moonwalk Monday is so close to Cronkite/s death. Out of all the clips of Cronkite/s broadcasts shown over the past few days, the veteran journalist seems least inhibited during the now famed broadcast of the lunar landing. Cronkite had even remarked that the Apollo 11 landing was the high point in his career because he was certain it would be the most important event of his lifetime. Unfortunately, it seems he was correct.
Dreams are probably one of my favorite things in the world. And, boy, have I had some doozies.
In George Orwell/s "1984," the three slogans of the ruling party are "War is Peace," "Freedom is Slavery" and "Ignorance is Strength." Amazon.com might as well change its slogan to "Downloading is Deletion" after this weekend.
There's a thin line between admiration and objectification.
This fall many UF students will take the hour-and-a-half trek up to Jacksonville for the yearly tradition of the UF-Georgia football game. But if President Machen has his way, students will find a very different situation awaiting them in Jacksonville.
The wide-sweeping health insurance reform that President Barack Obama has promised is finally on its way to being delivered, and the Editorial Board is not sure how to feel about it.
There are three events that consistently mark the middle of July on my calendar - the release of the annual update to EA Sports' NCAA Football game (which my colleague Adam Berry so generously opined on in Tuesday's paper), my birthday (today, time to do it big) and the always-interesting ESPY Awards.
Tuesday's editorial regarding Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor was filled with much of the same "empathy" we expect Sotomayor to rule with, but little fact.
I don't envy David Letterman. Putting together a top 10 list can be fairly difficult.
Soon-to-be-former Gov. Sarah Palin has been kicked around mercilessly by those who oppose her political views. Everything from her family to her wardrobe has been endlessly criticized.
So I refuse to be the only one who doesn/t give my two cents about this Palin resignation.
None of the crises we face today - whether it is the food crisis, the water crisis, the financial crisis or the crisis of climate change - can be managed unless greater attention is paid to population issues.
When a judge is nominated for the Supreme Court, the nitpicking invariably begins.
In every college football off-season, there are five days worth circling on the calendar.
FreeCreditReport.com, the credit-reporting service owned by Experian, recently released its latest TV commercial in its ubiquitous "guy sings about his bad credit" ad campaign, which raises an important question: How the hell are these ads still on TV?
The moment you've eagerly been awaiting the past five days is finally here.
I agree with Pastor Jones of the Dove World Outreach Center. A Christian does have to agree with his sign, which reads "Islam is of the Devil."
Al Franken is a funny guy. He is also intelligent and seems to understand the needs of his constituents. And Franken seems earnest in his desire to be a U.S. Senator. But despite all this, he should not have run for the position.
We are all witnesses &ndash when it's cool with LeBron James and Nike, at least.
