Wednesday afternoon brought word from Washington of an oh-so-close deal on the proposed economic stimulus package.
Many fans are quick to say the game of baseball is being ruined and degraded by the use of steroids.
From marijuana grow houses to teachers wielding weapons, absurdity runs rampant on the North Central Florida crime scene.
Even while boasting recession-proof returns, McDonald's can't help but smile after receiving free advertising at the hands of a loyal employee.
As I write, the Senate has passed the economic stimulus package, sending it back to the House for the final stage of negotiations. It's a wonder they achieved any deal, however fragile it was, considering the attempts by Congressional Republicans to dynamite the process.
"Field of Dreams" will always be one of my favorite movies, but I'm not sure how anyone can be a fan of professional baseball in this day and age.
I notice the Alligator tends to be pretty opinionated, which is good - it's more interesting that way. However, the newspaper is also pretty ignorant, which is something I personally dislike.
Not many things are quite as impressive as the Snuggie - the blanket with sleeves that "won't slip and slide like a regular blanket."
I'm writing to express my disgust for bathroom habits at UF. While I'm happy that most of us wash our hands before leaving the bathroom, I am appalled by the amount of paper towels that women find necessary to dry their hands. Friday in the library, I saw a girl use four paper towels, when you only need one. Let's try to conserve not only our resources, but our usage of space in landfills. It's a simple thought to not be wasteful.
The tough economic times can make people do pretty crazy things.
Last Thursday's Alligator article on the City Commission's first-in-the-nation vote to implement solar energy incentives shows why it's important for all UF students to vote in the Gainesville city elections on March 24.
The United States of America allocates more funds than all other countries combined to defense spending. It's a statement I've heard before but never really believed.
Dear Nu'Keese,
We've all been there before.
Thanks for the "green" sex tips in Friday's issue. Sure, some people like it dirty in the bedroom, but we shouldn't have to sacrifice a clean planet to satisfy our sexual desires.
I would like to respond to Johnathan Lott's column regarding public schools. As a side note in his column Lott wrote, "I'm still not sure how spending over $100 billion in deficit money on education will be a short-term economic stimulus."
In regards to Thursday's front cover photo I am disgusted that the Alligator decided in its infinite wisdom to publish such a blatant disregard for respect of the dead.
Another Super Bowl came and went, and did anything come from it? Personally, I didn't learn anything new or surprising.
Have you ever heard the words "journalism integrity" before? For the last two years I have watched the Alligator make a mockery out of journalism, but Thursday's story is just too much.
Biofuels, hybrid cars, conservation, polar bears, Al Gore … the list of green initiatives is endless.
