I really wanted to dislike the best documentary made in the past few years. After reading last year's reviews hailing Michael Moore's "Bowling for Columbine" as a brilliant and transcendent look at how America has become a culture of fear, gun nuts and conservatism, it made my mental list of DVDs to rent, and then of DVDs to own. Then, after Moore's scathingly anti-Bush acceptance speech at the 2003 Academy Awards for "Bowling for Columbine," I wanted to watch his documentary even more so I could dispel it as self-serving, politically motivated propaganda to make Moore's stubbly, bespectacled face the beacon of all things liberal and good. Over the long winter break, I finally got around to seeing it.

Adding slot machines to area horse race tracks could mean more money for agriculture and higher education, and more money in a time of low funds is always good. Legislation was recently proposed to create racinos, which add video, telephone and Internet wagering to Michigan horse racetracks and also could provide higher education some much-needed extra cash. In declaring his immediate support of pro-racino state legislation as a means of possibly generating university revenue, MSU President M.

Assistant General Manager Aaron Weiner said that the restaurant is the first Buffalo Wild Wings in Michigan and the only bar in the area to offer this service. "We just figured students would rather come and do some research while having a beer than go to the library," Weiner said. The service was added after the bar's general manager got a new lap top and a router.
