The Editorial Board is salivating in anticipation of the weekend. We know we're still a day away, but we can't help but look forward to it because we have the best plans for Friday night.
When I first saw a front-page story about a UF program encouraging bicycle use, I was more than excited. I am a huge cycling advocate.
It's best if I just come out and say it.
On Oct. 23, 2006, Time Magazine introduced us to Illinois Sen. Barack Obama. The publication allowed the face of a first-term U.S. senator to engulf the whole cover with the headline, "Why Barack Obama Could Be the Next President."
I am new to Florida, and I have recently registered to vote here because I knew my vote would mean a lot more in Florida than in my home state of Texas.
We know political discourse is mostly rhetoric, not debate. Abortion is the only major issue in which the words used to identify your point of view are meaningless rhetorical euphemisms.
Some time at the end of last season, when Dan Werner was moving out of his dorm room, it hit him: He was the only one left.
It is not my intention to belittle anyone who uses our free speech zones regardless of whether they are preaching, campaigning or whatever.
This political season has been tough for me. So far, I've avoided thinking about it by focusing on giving congressional offices an earful about the $700 billion they just flushed down the toilet.
The Editorial Board has caught a lot of flack for supposedly being biased toward Sen. Barack Obama. We want to make it abundantly clear that until about two weeks ago, we had no idea which candidate was going to receive our votes and our endorsement. However, today we can proudly say that we are officially endorsing Obama as our preferred choice for 44th President of the United States.
In the last three decades, conservative leaders in this nation have done something remarkable. They have convinced Americans that equality is bad, specifically economic equality. Anything remotely resembling a progressive tax system is labeled as socialist and radical.
I respect the Alligator and its writers for the business they run, but perhaps a lesson in journalistic values is in order. The College Republican's very successful "Rally for McCain/Palin" at Turlington on Thursday received less than fair or accurate coverage from the Alligator in Friday's issue. As expected, it appeared on page 11, while Obama marches and Campus NOW rallies were on the front page the rest of the week.
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.
