Saturday night, as Tim Tebow was trying to organize offensive drives, the stadium was blaring loud when it should have been quiet.
I entered UF in 1998 with 26 Advanced Placement and 11 dual enrollment credits. Everybody said how great that was and how quickly I could get through school. I, like many of you, did not need study skills to get A's in high school.
Want to stop ticket scalping?
Politics aren't my thing. One of my favorite quotes by Albert Einstein is, "Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever."
Sen. John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate shows his inability to comprehend what Sen. Hillary Clinton's female supporters really stood for. In view of Palin's ultraconservative views, to believe that her gender alone would cause Clinton supporters to run in McCain's direction because of some estrogen gravitational pull truly insults female intelligence.
Hurricane Gustav has passed with, thankfully, little damage, allowing Republicans to drop all pretenses of bipartisanship and launch into what, in my mind, is the nastiest convention in recent history.
I've lived to see everything now.
A letter to the editor in Wednesday's paper described Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain's economic plan as sound.
Isn't it hilarious that on the same day that the Alligator prints the rants of a representative for College Democrats and a representative from Gators for McCain, it runs an editorial decrying the bipartisan trash talking of political hacks?
In Tuesday's Alligator, College Republicans Chairman Bryan Griffin said that Sen. John McCain's pick for vice president, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was a person of honesty and integrity.
Mark McShera's letter to the editor Tuesday stands as one of the more egregious examples of incendiary fear-mongering I have seen yet during this campaign.
UF President Bernie Machen declared in his State of the University address Thursday that UF lacks the resources it needs because of a "gloomy economy." Perhaps he should have taken this into consideration before endorsing Sen. John McCain in January.
The Alligator rendered an opinion that I feel most forward-thinking persons would find shortsighted and disagreeable.
Because no action was taken by the West to stop the invasion of Georgia, Russia has now become bolder. Russian troops remain on Georgian land, days after the newest cease-fire was brokered by Condoleezza Rice.
Barack Obama is to your generation what John F. Kennedy was to mine. The youth and vitality, the charm and disarming smile, the sense of humor and powerful intellect - these are qualities shared by these men. We must get beyond our prejudices and vote our hearts, minds and the issues.
It is unfortunate that the Alligator's Editorial Board does not share the same excitement I do over the Thanksgiving Travel Holiday, but I guess I have six weeks until the elections to try to change this.
In 2005, Congress approved a bill calling for emergency funds to aid in tsunami relief efforts. Unfortunately, tacked onto the bill was what is called the Real ID Act. This sets federal standards for driver's licenses that states are mandated to comply with by December 2009.
Earlier this year, I attended a handful of rallies for Democratic presidential hopeful Sen. Barack Obama. Talking with other participants made it clear that few of them could agree on the specifics of this change.
If one goes by the adage "all press is good press," then Mr. Simmons' column is correct: Sen. Barack Obama has been receiving more media coverage than Sen. John McCain since the end of the primary season.
This is in regard to the Dart handed out to conservative radio talk show host Michael Savage in the July 24 edition of the Alligator for comments he made about autistic children.
