Celebrities held to double standards

An issue that plagued me considerably last year has recently resurfaced with the addition of wide receiver Donté Stallworth to the roster of the NFL’s Baltimore Ravens. Stallworth, who nabbed passes for the Cleveland Browns during the 2008 season, was arrested in March of 2009 and charged with DUI manslaughter after hitting 59-year-old Mario Reyes. This event garnered a modest amount of media coverage and paled in comparison to the circus surrounding the Michael Vick case. It’s this disparity in coverage and, more specifically, public outrage that’s at the root of my dismay.

Split Ticket

After a very, very long afternoon in a sauna — we mean office — of niceties from politicos in training and conversation after conversation about the Reitz Union’s renovation and expansion, we’d like to present you with our spring 2010 endorsement. Hold onto your hats, ladies and gentlemen, because this endorsement may surprise you.
