It may surprise you to know that I was never baptized a Catholic. My impiety notwithstanding, I am convinced that the best spokesperson for the anti-war movement is now St.
The Bush administration tells us we need to forcibly remove Iraqi President Saddam Hussein from power if we hope to guarantee peace in the world. But we should not allow ourselves to be so misled. What we need to do is remove President Bush from power if we want to have a prayer for peace in the world. Now, hold on those of you who wish to brand me a traitor.
The release of Oscar nominees Tuesday brings up an interesting question. Remember when winning an Academy Award meant a break for its recipient?
Before I left for college, I got some advice from a friend's mother: "Don't get married and settle down until you're at least 25.
After listening to a number of people on campus, I think I have the right to walk up to your table when you are eating and grab a piece of pizza or two or three.
I had blue panties in my hands a couple weeks ago - and no, they weren't mine. Simply, it was one of the many disturbing images I have (and now you have) become used to while using the dormitory laundry service.
On Nov. 9, 1989, socialism was defeated in the battle of ideas. The wall dividing the people of Berlin was torn down, freedom was proclaimed in the streets and joyous families ran to reunite.
If 50 million Elvis fans can't be wrong, then 63 million soccer fans just might be onto something. That's right, nearly 63 million people watched the final of the World Cup this past summer.
The hugely controversial Michael Jackson special on "20/20," watched by 27 million viewers Thursday on ABC, was one of the most disgusting displays of unethical, yellow and biased journalism I have seen in a long time. Jackson, the man who charmed teenyboppers and critics alike with his vibrant and intense performing in the '70s and nearly took over the world in the '80s with albums such as "Thriller" and "Bad," was portrayed as a strange, almost dangerous lunatic by British journalist Martin Bashir.
Before inventing the light bulb, Thomas Edison failed a thousand times. Babe Ruth had 714 home runs and 1,330 strikeouts.
Republicans like to talk about the "Bush doctrine." With the war against Iraq looming on the horizon, they need a hip, new buzzword to describe the pretext and strict conservative ideology behind the impending military action in the Middle East. This, of course, should come as no surprise.
And the lord god created both men and women to inherit the Earth. He then saw what he had made, and he knew there was going to be trouble. Every creation story I've encountered, including the two accounts told in the Bible, depicts humans as the pinnacle invention in the metamorphosis of order from chaos. And why shouldn't we be? After all, we have subdued the Earth with our agricultural prowess and conquered the seas and skies with ships and planes.
Producing white-out conditions, the lake-effect snow persists in its steady slant, rendering what appear to be historic landmarks - schools, businesses and a small number of pedestrians indiscernible from one another.
What you have to understand is I was there from the beginning. I must have shown a fondness for space, or my mother could have known it was just history to be witnessed; regardless, at 7 in the morning on an April Sunday in 1981, I was pointed at the television to watch Columbia lift-off for the first time.
Since the beginning of the new year and the new semester, almost every time I turn to the Opinion Page of The State News, I see more of the same letters and waste of space as the day before.
My friend once told me that any game played with a "stick" should not be considered a sport. Had I been born a man, he'd probably still be eating through a straw, but since I'm a lady
When President Bush gave his State of the Union address, I joined my friends in someone's room, surrounding the television, hanging on every word.
To follow or not to follow? That is the question. Last week while catching up after the weekend over lunch, a couple of my friends and I were discussing what we saw for our lives after college.
I have spent the past month engaged in deep undercover investigative journalism in Washington. In the course of this dangerous work, I uncovered a very early draft of Tuesday's State of the Union Address.
