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.
The debate between MSU College Democrats and Republicans is a good representation of exactly what is wrong with the real debates between presidential candidates. The lack of a voice beyond those of the duopoly will result in many important issues not being addressed. The exclusion of a representative for Ralph Nader expresses the organizations' desire to limit the voices voters hear, and the choices that they have on Nov.
In a country that values freedom, it is hard to believe that residents of some cities - East Lansing included - cannot show their support via yard signs for a candidate prior to 30 days before the election.
In regard to Andrew Sivak's comment "Panel: Candidates redundant during first square-off" (SN 10/1) about John Kerry's performance in the first presidential debate, I don't know what you were watching, but Kerry's performance was not embarrassing at all. He cleared up a lot of the conservative hype about flip-flopping by being consistent in his responses and he made some excellent points that President Bush could not handle.
It's the question that comes up at almost every rape awareness presentation I've ever done.
Please, Virg Bernero, stop the political grandstanding "Sen.
Thursday's presidential debate was by no means a blowout for John Kerry. Many people, including some conservatives, were worried that President Bush's intrinsic lack of public speaking ability would crumble under the pressure of Kerry's well-tuned debate tactics, but that didn't exactly happen. Needless to say, the damage was done.
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.
I've been a commuter at MSU for three years now and I have never had such a problem parking. This is the third year that I have purchased a permit to park in Lot 89, the commuter lot. Why are there no spots?
If anything has caused fewer applicants to Big Ten schools in Michigan, it is not student laziness or student apathy.
I am disgusted with The State News. After the article published on Tuesday telling God and everybody how to steal the bikes of people who care enough to purchase the claimed best lock made ("U-lock security failure revealed to consumers" SN 9/28), I am again let down by the reporting skills and choices made by The State News. In the article "Campus political parties hold debate" (SN 9/30), there is obvious bias.
Having read Dave Salisbury's column "Too much faith being invested in religion; have faith in yourself" (SN 9/28), I feel a response is necessary. Salisbury begins his article by claiming that he believes there is a God.
Baseball is back; or at least it is in Washington, D.C. For a city that has not seen a home run or a fly ball in 33 years, the movement of the Expos from Montreal to the nation's capital is good thing, for both D.C.
While reading "Green expectations" (SN 9/27), I was saddened and annoyed to see that the 2020 Vision Plan included the possible removal of Shaw Lane.
As if we needed yet another reason that Bill O'Reilly needs to keep his mouth shut. When Jon Stewart, host of the "The Daily Show," appeared on the Sept.
I have been tailgating for years. I actually look forward to tailgate season and waking up at 3 a.m.
One of the most powerful images from the Persian Gulf War was a candid shot of Sgt. Ken Kozakiewicz sitting in a helicopter.
The State News should have gotten their facts straight prior to printing bogus information in the article "Candidates spar over Great Lakes, environment" (SN 9/29). Key words - requested, proposed, opposes - in Bush's environmental action plan as stated in The State News all sound like he's actually doing something positive for the environment.
President Bush and Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry do not like to look stupid. The candidates' campaigns wanted to secure their insecurity at the debates by not allowing certain camera shots and angles, and asked the networks to abide.
America has disintegrated into a nation of pimps, emotional invalids and pedophiles all because of one marvelous invention - instant messaging.
