Kudos to President Barack Obama for standing up to AIG's outlandish intentions of paying out over $100 million worth of bonuses to top executives.
Welcome back for the home stretch of the spring semester - a mere five weeks remain until the endless possibilities of summer embrace you with open arms.
Online news outlets apparently yanked their thesauruses out from beneath their beds last Thursday, labeling Jon Stewart's interview of CNBC's "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer with headlines such as "Stewart Eviscerates Cramer, CNBC," and "Jon Stewart Thrashes Jim Cramer."
There have been a ton of hard-hitting items in the news lately: President Barack Obama has pushed forward stem-cell research, the chairman of the Republican National Committee announced that he's pro-choice and Jon Stewart nearly made Jim Cramer wet his pants. That's all well and good, but I want to talk about something that's really been on my mind. Sunday, Comedy Central roasted Daniel Lawrence Whitney - better known as Larry the Cable Guy - and I shed a tear for comedy.
I do not understand how UF has an extraordinary main Web site, but our e-mail service is nothing short of rubbish.
Get out the polka-dot bikinis and bottles of grain alcohol - The Department of Darts & Laurels officially declares Spring Break 2009 open for business.
For those of you who don't know me, or for those of you who I have offended, I apologize if you took the meaning of my column to be anything but satire. As an effective satire only mirrors reality, I stand by what I have written for a few reasons.

On Wednesday morning, the entire editorial staff of the Daily Emerald - the student-produced newspaper at the University of Oregon - went on strike in protest of the attempts of its board of directors to install a publisher with unprecedented control over the newsroom.
I am not about to resort to the name-calling that Spanky from the Little Rascals, or a certain journalism-and-German junior at UF for that matter, would employ as his first response to a female threatening his self-proclaimed territory.
Bipartisanship is a dream; a glorious fantasy thought up by politicians who wanted to turn the public against their opponents. In all practicality, it doesn't exist.
Perhaps the understatement of the year would be to say that we live in a time of economic uncertainty.
Before Carrie Bradshaw, there was Barbara Millicent Roberts. She turns 50 years old this week, and she's never looked better.
No news isn't necessarily good news.
I was once informed that the only way to gain a clear understanding of a political group or a movement is to hear what one of their die-hard partisans has to say on the subject.
Joshua Nederveld is a chauvinistic, pea-for-a-brain, wannabe meathead. As a woman who regularly uses the bench (with her measly 70 pounds), I am outraged by his delusional "unwritten laws" of the weight room.
The word out of Washington reveals new information surrounding the destruction of CIA interrogation tapes that feature two al-Qaida suspects.
The sap is rising on campuses nationwide, as evidenced by "brahsome" plans of impending debauchery and the giggly expectation of blackouts yet to be wistfully forgotten.
My father once explained to me the importance of good timing in relationships. "Never talk to women when they're angry," he told me one night as he plopped on the couch with a blanket and pillow.
I want to commend the work the United We Dream at UF Campaign has done in the past week. I believe the Development, Relief and Education for Alien Minors Act (the DREAM Act) is of great importance because it will resolve the tragic irony that occurs in America.
