UF College Republicans does not support animal cruelty

In response to Bruce Friedrich’s column printed Wednesday, I must take a moment to point out the grave inaccuracies in both his perceptions and argument against the College Republicans’ People Eating Tasty Animals event. First, Bruce pointed out that I was not at his forum/speech held at UF in October. While this is true, it does not negate the fact that he did not show up at my event, either. Bruce was quick to make harsh and thoroughly misguided judgments as to the intent of the event and my beliefs on the issue of animal rights.

Say cheers, what bubbly to buy

Go ahead and buy the oysters and strawberries at a grocery store, but when it comes to buying the booze, go to a real wine shop.  You will find better selection and lower prices.  Gracey Castine, of Dorn’s Liquors, had plenty of advice to offer on the subject this Valentine’s Day.


The basic bra and panty. One can’t go wrong with a bra-and-panty-set. This look is seductive with lace; sweet with ruffles and flowers; or wild and crazy with neon colors. This is practical because it can be worn under any outfit, so you can whip off your clothes for a special surprise.

Dance like a Pussycat Doll

When flipping through music videos, it is difficult to keep your mouth from dropping at the sight of a Pussycat Dolls music video. Whether you are a boy or a girl confronted with the spectacle is irrelevant. The Dolls’ sultry demeanor and flawless stomachs causes most guys to contain themselves in their inseam and turns girls green with envy.

At the end of the 2009 season, the general consensus was that the 2010 UF softball team’s infield would feature a quartet of upperclassmen ready to build on the excellence of the 2009 unit.
