No blame game: Shooting shouldn’t be made political
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Jan. 9, 2011As a rule of thumb, people don’t have their political affiliations carved on their tombstones. Parties don’t matter in the face of tragedy and grief, but the memories of the deceased and the pain of the survivors do.

Power Shift: Republicans should tread carefully in new role
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Jan. 5, 2011After years of performance that could be best described as wildly inconsistent and at worst can be compared to a Big Ten team in a bowl game, the Democrats relinquished control of the House Wednesday in an episode that spliced together the ceremonious with the awkward.

Dirty politics
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Dec. 5, 2010In an early showing of dirty, rotten things to come during the next handful of years, Sen.-elect Marco Rubio and Gov.-elect Rick Scott were quick to criticize President Barack Obama for extending the ban on oil drilling in federal waters off Florida’s coast.

Darts and Laurels
By The Alligator Editorial Board | Dec. 2, 2010This is a curious week, Gators. There’s not really a name for it either. It’s the post-Thanksgiving week where most of us grumble like Eeyore all the way to Gainesville, yet it’s not time for winter break. It’s the teaser week in between. It’s the week where professors plague our schedules with one final exam before the final exam. It’s the week where we switch our thermostats from air conditioning to heat in the span of an evening. It’s often called “Hell week.” So, for those of you wallowing in self-pity with your 98-page papers, your double-hand count of exams left and just general longing for the solace of winter break, never fear. The Department of Darts and Laurels is here to present you with your First-Of-Its-Kind-Thankscember edition of Darts & Laurels.
