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.
"How much emotion is too much?"
When I first registered to vote in 1999, I registered as a Republican. I did so to vote in the 2000 Republican Presidential primary for Sen. John McCain, when he ran against then-Texas Gov. George W. Bush.
Editorial Board foot, meet Editorial Board mouth.
If you don't want your younger siblings to learn the truth about Santa Claus, then Virginia is the state for you (spoiler alert!).
Every four years as presidential candidates approach the finish line, the election hiccups. It could be a dramatic global event; it could be the final rabbit in a candidate's hat (or the final skeleton in his closet). Whatever form it takes, a presidential campaign must always anticipate that last-minute X-factor, the dreaded "October Surprise." For the candidate in the lead, it represents one last perilous curve ball. For the candidate running behind, it represents opportunity.
I didn't recognize the man on the cover of the Alligator today. Urban Meyer smiling? Showing emotion? Thank you, William Green, for blocking that punt and putting that smile on Meyer's face.
