If you Google “Valentine’s Day sex,” you’ll get about 312 million results. That’s a lot of ideas.
There are two kinds of people: those who will admit they care about fashion and those who care about fashion but don’t know it.
Gainesville, we can’t live like this much longer: Are you participating in this polar vortex or not? Why do you think it’s acceptable to be 80 degrees and muggy one day and 49 degrees and windy the next? At this rate, we’re going to have to start investing in those ‘90s-throwback cargo pants with legs that unzip into shorts.
In 1989, a young UF student named Tiffany Sessions vanished.
A rising tide to lift all yachts?
“Lame duck” is too misleading a description of the remaining years of President Barack Obama’s time in office. Labeling a term “lame duck” implies that nothing will get done in Washington, and everyone knows it. The truth is, nothing will indeed happen, but the chief executive will try everything in his power to convince you otherwise.
Last week in the Alligator’s GatorAid advice column, Leslie Cole responded to an anonymous student’s question, “I’m a girl, but I’m not 21. What are good old-fashioned ways to have fun without drinking?”
As Gov. Rick Scott gears up for his 2014 re-election campaign, his primary focus has shifted away from dealing with the many critical issues our state faces. Instead, he has decided to devote the bulk of his energy toward fundraising for his re-election bid in advance of the November election.
While the world wasn’t looking, the U.S. Senate passed what CNN called “the most overlooked mega-bill of the past 12 months”: a $1 trillion spending measure that sets five years of eating and farming policy in the United States.

Thanks for your interesting note on climate change.
The U.S. federal government is not known for always making the best choices. In some states, it’s legal to marry your first cousin but not a member of the same sex. However, one of America’s biggest flubs is the propagation of alcohol and the criminalization of marijuana.
It’s OK to like labels on things other than clothes — or really, on anything but your clothes — because those things can be itchy and uncooperative. Some people say labels are limiting, but I argue they are liberating. As humans, it is easier for us to categorize things. Labeling helps us process the world around us, as well as ourselves.
With the national spotlight often on Floridians like Casey Anthony and Terry Jones, there’s not much we can be proud of. The Sunshine State isn’t exactly known for its positive contributions. However, there is one exception, and we recently marked its 50th anniversary.
Philip Seymour Hoffman’s death at age 46 shocked the U.S. on Sunday, and as the investigation reveals more details about his death — strong evidence points to a heroin overdose, as he was found in his Manhattan apartment with a needle stuck in his arm — many voices have contributed to the discussion of his legacy as a fine actor and his struggle with drug abuse.
I would like to shed some light on a local issue that hasn’t received enough attention.
There’s been a lot of talk about Senate minority leader Michael Christ’s comments concerning the new Taco Libre Party. Some have said he’s angry, whiny and unprofessional. Others have a few more choice words for him. As the people who elected him to represent us in the Senate, we couldn’t be more proud. He’s telling it like it is.
The recent cold snap that froze much of North Florida and paralyzed our neighbors in Georgia and Alabama doesn’t disprove climate change. Period.
When Woody Allen won the Golden Globe lifetime achievement award a few weeks ago, an old debate reignited: Is it right to celebrate artists who have committed — or been accused of committing — heinous crimes?
President Barack Obama recently announced that a task force was formed to address sexual assault on college campuses.
My name is Susan Webster, and I currently serve as the Swamp Party spokeswoman. I am very excited to announce that our party’s slate has been released.
