We’re always surprised at the new levels of hypocrisy some people reach, and the recently proposed Florida House of Representatives Bill 315 is no exception.
It has been said that “anti-Catholicism is the anti-Semitism of the Left.” The Monday editorial “Idol Hands” is vivid proof this is true.
This week, local bar and restaurant owners received a letter from Gainesville Equal Opportunity Director Cecil Howard telling them that offering ladies night specials may get them into trouble.
The University’s decision to censor the documentary film thesis of journalism students Jon Bougher and Roman Safiullin should raise red flags for all students. Bougher and Safiullin, whose thesis centers on a Haitian aid organization, happened to be in Haiti when the earthquake struck. They may have lived to tell their story, but the University doesn’t want them to.
CJ Pruner’s column on Monday regarding Jordan Johnson’s political legacy had a few minor errors that I want him to acknowledge. One, while it is implied that the article is written by CJ Pruner, I cannot help but feel that others deserve credit for its content, namely, Michael Moore movies and malt liquor. Additionally, the article concludes by saying that he is a “journalism junior.” I would like to recommend a more appropriate description, perhaps “cynical moron.”
As a 1989 graduate of UF from the College of Journalism and Communications, I think it is absurd that the two documentary graduate students, Jon Bougher and Roman Safiullin, can’t include their recent footage from Haiti in their film due to UF’s ban on post-earthquake travel there.
No matter your politics, as a citizen of the world and a product of history, you must recognize that the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are pivotal moments in our age that will have repercussions for decades to come.
In six months, second-year UF law student John Hunt will have one extra year of free health care.
The turn of seasons is allowing the Miami blue butterfly population to thrive at UF.
Beginning Tuesday, Ironwood Golf Course is temporarily closed for reconstruction.
Grooveshark may not care too much for money, but it could be forced to pay for oldies.
After a not-so-short hiatus, I’m back to stand on my giant soapbox and preach the good word of the Grammar Gods. Please, don’t run away just yet. I’m not one of those Turlington troublemakers who calls everyone a sinner and, well, other words I can’t get away with saying on this blog. All I want to do is pass out some electronic illiteracy-is-of-the-devil shirts. And rant. Can’t forget that.
You probably won’t find Jordan Reed’s name listed as a key player for the 2010 Florida football team, but his development will be a deciding factor in the success or failure of the Gators’ offense.
It took Austin Maddox three years to forget how to play third base.
With the departure of so many starters from last year’s team, spring practice presents a great opportunity for players to gain ground on the battle for a first-team spot in the fall.
Florida knows what it does wrong in losses, but the young team can’t seem to avoid making those mistakes.
Six Cornell University students have committed suicide since the start of the school year. Two of the six took their lives earlier this month.
We understand Republicans are super pissed that whole historic social welfare, insurance-for-the-poor bill passed last week, and why shouldn’t they be? Who cares about the mere 32 million Americans who will now be able to afford crazy things like hospital visits and life-saving medication?
It would seem that Dove World Outreach Center has a pastor appropriately named. Having viewed the video of his hate-filled rhetoric concerning a runoff election for mayor of the fine city of Gainesville, I believe that the minister in question, Wayne Sapp, definitely is one. Hatred in the name of Jesus is simply unbiblical, hypocritical and unacceptable. Shame!
Hillel held its first of two Passover Seders on Monday night. About 300 people attended.
