The Editorial Board knows we aren't perfect - look around hard enough and you're bound to come across some minute error somewhere within our pages. But, unlike the outgoing president, when we admit our faults we would like to think we own up to them. Eight long years and you're halfway there, George.
After reading a recent editorial on how Gainesville residents are ignorant about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, I noticed that the the ignorance was directed toward those that support Palestinians.
LuckyD0g21: So what are your plans for this weekend?
It has recently come to my attention that there are some in the media who do not believe Florida should be crowned the BCS National Champion.
What do you call 2,000 Americans at the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean? A good start.
The Gators took home the championship, Superman will return to Gainesville and the Alligator Editorial Board rocked "I heart Bernie" T-shirts at work Sunday night.
As a University of Georgia graduate and devoted Bulldog fan, you may find it hard to believe that I was actually rooting for Florida to win the BCS football national championship.
Driving down University Avenue about a week ago, I saw three typical Gainesville hippies waving a banner comparing Gaza to the Warsaw ghetto of Nazi-occupied Poland.
Apparently, Spenser Solis doesn't value every human life with his attempt to justify the collective, disproportional punishment of Gaza as part of Israel's defense when Israel, along with the United States, is one of the few countries to still maintain with a straight face that blatantly offensive attacks are indeed defensive.
How would you like it if all the money you could have saved on your car insurance was a bundle of cash that constantly watched you with an ever-so-slight smile, your own personal green bundle of buyer's regret?
As the battle between Israeli and Hamas fighters in Gaza stretches into its second week, not enough Americans are speaking up against the outrageous destruction of innocent lives.
It's that time of year again. Quickly becoming as commonplace as luminaries like Homecoming and spring break in Cancun, it's the unofficial kickoff to the spring semester - UF finding itself in the BCS National Championship Game.
You've got to love fads. The concept is solid gold.
In reading yesterday's article regarding the UF student reaction to the conflict in Gaza, I felt that Naomi Fireman's comments were extremely insensitive to the plight that the Palestinian people now face.
What would you do if you lived under the constant threat of rocket attack? Since Israel pulled out of Gaza in 2005, the people of southern Israel have been held hostage by Hamas.

Since Israel left Gaza, Hamas, which is recognized as a terrorist group by both the U.S. and the EU, has fired more than 6,000 rockets into civilian areas of Israel.
The first week of class is a wonderful, joyous week - it's financial aid disbursement time. So when 73 percent of you collect your Bright Futures checks, think about the implications of that money.
Tim Tebow, take a seat - the Editorial Board has a new hero.
Thanks for reminding us why we all hate you, Bernie, by not only reminding us how pathetically few tickets students get compared to alumni, but also by giving us your standard holier-than-thou insistence that we go to class while you nurse your hangover in Miami.
