I have wanted to become involved in student politics ever since I arrived at UF last fall. But when I got here, I had no idea that UF had different political parties, like Orange and Blue, Gator or Unite.
I refuse to do it.
In hiding behind his youth as an excuse for smoking pot, Michael Phelps demonstrated to the world a clear lack of understanding regarding his celebrity.
For the past 30 years, Western society has funneled its best and brightest minds into the financial sector. Harvard, Oxford and State U all sent their most illustrious stars into the wide-open galaxy of wealth creation, where the collisions of brainpower and avarice resulted in spectacularly profitable inventions like the now-poisonous derivatives market.
In the wake of NBC's decision to cut PETA's risque commercial from the Super Bowl broadcast, animal cruelty awareness hit Gainesville on Monday.
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. - Keep your fingers crossed that Billy Donovan doesn't leave Gainesville anytime soon.
Beyond the highlight reel sacks and gut-busting grub, the true allure of the Super Bowl lies in catching the latest in advertising excellence.
President Barack Obama has been in office for only about two weeks and, already, things have begun to change.

As an oh-so-slow news week draws to a close, the Department of Darts & Laurels can only hope for ridiculousness to ensue this Sunday.
I would like to send out a newsflash to Dean Early, as he is the embodiment of rotten Christianity. As a Christian, he should know that we are not called to be respected. We are not to be honored or given the same leeway as other religions.

Typically synonymous with Super Bowl week, celebrity-filled bashes may be taking a backseat to the game thanks to the sputtering economy.
