Iraq is a disaster. Thus far, we've heard several justifications for it; the "threat" of Iraq is still a lingering argument.
What if modern President Bush-loving conservatives could rewrite America's Bill of Rights? Judging from their extremist rhetoric, I'm guessing the document might look something like this: Amendment I: Congress shall make no law infringing on majority-approved speech. Thomas Jefferson's assertion, "Dissent is the highest form of patriotism," isn't popular among modern conservatives.
Michael Moore is my kind of guy. Now bear with me; I'm not a meat and potatoes guy. But I do like a good grilled ham and cheese, maybe with some caviar on the side.
It's the question that comes up at almost every rape awareness presentation I've ever done.
Dear Gary Bettman: I hate your guts. You make me sick to my stomach. My utter contempt and disdain for you is topped only by my disgust for murderers and rapists.
I recently stumbled across the "Future Soundtrack for America," an album co-sponsored by MoveOn.org that features a variety of terrible alt-rock bands who despise - wait for it - President Bush. Half the songs have suspiciously little to do with politics, like "I Miss You" by Blink 182.
One of the most powerful images from the Persian Gulf War was a candid shot of Sgt. Ken Kozakiewicz sitting in a helicopter.
America has disintegrated into a nation of pimps, emotional invalids and pedophiles all because of one marvelous invention - instant messaging.
After successfully struggling to stay awake throughout history class, I was waiting at the bus stop with four female students from the same course.
I believe there is a God, and I bet he's disappointed. Do you know what the "culture war" is?
So I'm sitting here watching Donovan McNabb make the Lions defensive line look stupid, and I'm thinking, "Wow, what a luxury to have a quarterback who can throw and run." There's even more proof on Detroit's next possession when Joey Harrington is scrambling from the Philadelphia defense and the ball just pops out of his hand - fumble-roosky. Two quick notes: I know I'm not the first person to bring this concept to light, and I'm not bashing Harrington, but he shouldn't be running with the ball-throw it away, Joey! Where's the relevance in all this, you ask?
True conservatism is an eclectic philosophy, spanning years of thoughts and works of infinite geniuses and handed down through countless generations in an effort to preserve established truths. But what are these truths?
Sometimes I almost envy the thoughtless certainty and blind faith that religious zealots willfully rely on.
The dilution of media into the continuous breaking news ticker has started a cutthroat race to a finish line that has even the field's most seasoned sprinters struggling to keep up.
All right you Coca-Cola loving boys and girls out there, either stop reading this or cross your eyes until the page turns to blurry gray nothingness.
What many people don't know about President Bush is that his sense of humor and acute sense of irony rival the senses of the greatest comics of generations past and present.
Everyone's got their pet peeves; things that get under their skin and bring out their darker sides.
Over the weekend I received a dozen or so e-mails about the column I wrote in the latest Sidelines section "GameDay made mistake coming to East Lansing." The common trend was pure shock, that I, an MSU student, would bash the university.
Being a liberal in college is like living in a magical fantasy world of acceptance. Your peers like you, your professors like you, even Alec Baldwin likes you, and getting the "OK" from Alec Baldwin is no doubt a dream come true. Sadly, it is this path of least resistance most choose to follow.
