The American people have been fed a steady diet of fear for the better part of the last seven years.

"If you are a whoremonger, you hate Christ, and Christ hates youuuu!"
Somebody save me. I'm having a quarter-life crisis four years too early. I've been in school since I was six. I have nine weeks and two days left until my graduation. But the only number that seems to matter to me is zero. That's how many job offers I've received.

I have discouraging news.

The Gator Party is proud to offer UF an executive ticket and a spring Senate slate that is not only qualified but diverse and talented.
Student Government doesn't matter.
With increasing frequency, I am beset by excruciating reminders of the world's inexorable descent into pure insanity.
You know, I seriously doubt I have the self-control to save for my retirement. Can everyone's taxes be raised a tiny bit so the government can save my money for me?
For the past few years, newspapers have tinkered with their Web sites, trying new ways to get readers information quickly and to get them involved.
I thought this would be the easiest column I'd ever have to write.
Another week, and another new low for President Bush.
They're tryin' to make me go to rehab.
I don't know if I ever told you, but I went to Harvard. It's true.
