Locals should vote to protect citizen rights
By ERIC CHIANESE | Mar. 22, 2009I received a bit of a gift in one of my classes last week, and I've been thanking the gods of absurdity ever since. On Monday, I had the pleasure of watching a debate on the proposed Charter Amendment 1. It was a slaughter and roused my latent political conscience.

America must shed two–party politics
By ADAM WYNN | Mar. 19, 2009I have a strong stomach. Only a handful of things consistently turn my stomach contents into a downtown sidewalk display: catching a ride post- or mid-drinkathon, all songs Nickelback and when, like, people, like, say "like" all the time. Other than those three things, I rarely get to taste my stomach acid.

Performance against Dolphins displays in-it-to-win-it attitude
Mar. 18, 2009The banners were strange. They were painted black with a diamond-shaped logo that doesn't belong in the O'Connell Center. They read "National Invitation Tournament" and spoke of postseason dreams, but not the postseason dreams with shining moments and the usual Madness.

Columnist misses point of Pentecostal Church
By Shaelyn McDaniel | Mar. 18, 2009I congratulate Allie Conti for venturing outside her comfort zone, but I am disappointed as to how little her horizons were truly broadened. While her observations as to the United Pentecostal Church may be accurate (I've never been there), expanding her generalizations to cover an entire denomination based on one visit is sloppy.

Those currently in the spotlight are none other than Ponzi schemer extraordinaire Bernard Lawrence Madoff and "those guys" over at AIG.
