Editor's note: While Danny and I disagree somewhat on the year's best movies, remember he's the expert. Here are his picks.
Here is the deal with Ron Paul: Ron Paul is a former flight surgeon and OB/GYN-turned Republican congressman with some Libertarian leanings ranging from sensible (ending the occupation of Iraq and the war on drugs) to the downright asinine (abolishing the Federal Reserve System, returning to the gold standard). Libertarianism has always had a strong Internet presence. This, coupled with the fact that college students spend a lot of time on the Internet, makes it clear why Paul is so popular with college students.
Wu-Tang Clan - "8 Diagrams"
This was one of the most unpredictable years in college football history, and the Gators played no small part in giving the season that distinction. With more craziness sure to come in the bowls, I've compiled the Gators' most memorable "Did that really just happen?" moments of this year. Here are the top seven of '07.
In an event free of protest and interruption, an author and a Hispanic leader debated immigration Wednesday night at UF.

(Scott Robertson / Alligator Staff) Duke Reid of the UF Physical Plant Division prepares Christmas lights before stringing them Wednesday on the fir tree growing on the North Lawn.

I am responding to Wednesday's article celebrating the life of Dr. Robert Cade, one of four UF researchers responsible for inventing Gatorade. I was quite surprised to learn that since 1970, UF has drawn more than ,150 million in royalties from Gatorade sales. After reading this, it made me think back to a September Alligator article about the increased soda costs on campus, part of the objective being to encourage people to make a healthier choice.
Thanks to UF officials, die-hard Gators fans might never have to leave campus - and they mean never.
Dear UF College Republicans and UF Law School Republicans, thank you so much for writing a letter to the Alligator decrying the erosion of your right to free speech. It's nice to see you are so concerned about civil liberties.

Androgyny has had its place in high fashion for more than 30 years, but now it's finally made its way to the mainstream.
There is a scene in "Dan in Real Life" where one of Steve Carell's character's shrill, insufferable daughters ("She sounds like a tea kettle," to quote an earlier, better Carell movie) is pleading emotionally with him to let her boyfriend stay over. Once she uses the word "love," Carell suddenly laughs uncontrollably at his daughter's naïve stupidity. Not only is it the only genuinely funny scene in the film, but his line also accurately depicts how I felt watching "Dan in Real Life": "You've got to be kidding me."
