With early voters turning out in droves and national anticipation at an all-time high, the most consequential election in at least 30 years (or possibly ever) is a day away.
Forgive us for bludgeoning a poor dead horse, but we have to stress the importance of voting one last time.
As a pastor, community leader and advocate of justice and respect, I have been asked in recent weeks to be a public supporter of Amendment 2.
In the last 200,000 years, man has evolved from a common hominid to that of a god among all animals. We have accomplished what the dinosaurs could not in more than 165 million years. We have conquered all other animals, save those at the most isolated depths of the ocean. We have been to space, to our moon and are planning a trip to Mars, yet people live in fear of truth.
Every day on my way to work, I pass the graffiti wall on Southwest 34th Street.
As a lifelong Georgia Tech fan, former Georgia Tech student and University of Georgia graduate, I urge you to go to any legal sportsbook and bet on Georgia to beat UF and win the BCS National Championship.
To kick things off this week, we want to take on the ObamaBot because, for a while, we were uncertain how to approach our mechanized, liberal friend.
With only a few days to go, I find myself doing more than counting down the remaining days until Tuesday's election, when this country will decide together the next president of the U.S.
The green movement isn't showing any signs of slowing at UF. Unfortunately, this may spell disaster for many pink-bellied beach cruisers who lack the 21-speed savvy of seasoned cyclists.
The next time you see my beautiful mug gracing the Alligator, we will have a new president. No recount. No Supreme Court. Only our 44th president.
As a UF student willing to pay good money to enjoy myself downtown, I find the "one in, one out" rule to be incredibly irritating. Even though clubs seem overcrowded, it is this environment that draws me to them in the first place. Without crowds, the club loses its ambience and appeal. I always go downtown with a group of friends, and I know I would be upset if we could not enter at the same time. I understand there are reasons why overcrowding can be dangerous, but there has to be another way to solve this problem.
Bethany Koch's extremist liberal rant in Wednesday's Alligator is indicative of two things. First, she has never worked a 40-hour-week job and seen the government steal 19 cents of every dollar she earns.
I was disappointed to read that the majority of student senators gutlessly passed on registering a stance on Amendment 2.
According to Bethany Koch, women don't have "easy and affordable access to birth control and abortions," and "without access to affordable birth control and comprehensive abortion rights, women can't control if or when they have children." Wow.
All right folks, this week Phil on the Hill returns to its old lineup format. And in honor of the rain-shortened World Series Game 5, we will discuss exactly 3 1/2 topics in order to help you finish your bus ride or class or wherever you decide to give me a few moments of your time.
When we heard that a Jacksonville high school was going to change its name because it was named after a controversial historical figure, all we could think of was the movie "Forrest Gump."
Maybe Graham Clark can help me find one of these early voting activists who are doing their civic duty and helping everybody vote early. So far, I haven't found one on my own.
As I left the UF-Georgia game last season, two thoughts ran through my head.
I'm tired of sexism being an acceptable way to degrade someone in the Alligator. Jake Miller's Tuesday column provided another example: He labeled Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as the "Barbie Doll from Fargo."
We've got some potentially devastating news for all of UF's serious pregamers: The city's Public Safety Committee has recommended that the Gainesville Police join forces with Gainesville Fire Rescue to prevent overcrowding at the local bars and clubs.
