Handouts won’t save auto industry
Nov. 19, 2008As Detroit descends upon Capitol Hill desperately seeking a handout to rescue the flailing automotive industry, we must consider redefining the American dream.

Another Student Senate meeting, another editorial. We're starting to establish a pattern.
In our freshman days, when Maui Teriyaki wasn't 20 minutes away from campus, Sloppy Gator was still alive and the football team battled for a chance at the Outback Bowl (ha!), there was nothing we hated more about dorm life than doing laundry.
Wes Hunt's column, "Bible archaic, full of contradictions," is ludicrous. Every contradiction he quoted was either taken out of context or completely ignorant.
The Southeastern Conference championship game ticketing system is the best system the University Athletic Association has had yet.
Right now, the economy is the 10-year-old jerk who lived across the street that ruined every neighborhood game because of his bad attitude.
As someone who worked against Amendment 2 and felt hurt by the results, I appreciate the general sentiment behind Todd Portnowitz's guest column, but I take serious issue with the implication that all of Sen. John McCain's supporters are unreasonable or immature voters.
Wvery morning, thousands of UF students put their trust in the Alligator. They pick it up not only because it is the most popular news platform for students at UF but because they have vested their belief in the objectivity and journalistic integrity of the editors and news staff.
I was talking with a friend the other day about how she met her boyfriend of three years. As I get older, I turn more of my attention to these stories because they have become almost as important to me as politics.
As an atheist and a divisive jerk (which are not mutually inclusive), there's not much that I enjoy more than watching a fundamentalist Christian argue a modernized Christian.
In two and a half years, the e-Learning System has not received much attention in your publication, despite the fact that it has become an integral part of every student's UF experience and nearly every professor's curriculum.
I'll say it right now: Ticketmaster blows.
I don't get it. I can't count how many times I repeated this to my sports-obssessed ex-boyfriend during the year we dated. People go nuts for tailgating, body paint and Super Bowl parties. This behavior makes them look like ridiculous, idiotic monkeys running around in jerseys.
After awarding its 27 electoral votes to the incompetent George W. Bush in 2000 and 2004, Florida has finally shown signs of maturing. In 2008, our stubborn state budged, proving itself open-minded enough to support a progressive black man who is the antithesis of "W."
Theoretically, democracy involves compromise. Without it, democracy would shrivel under the weight of narrow-minded decisions cast by a single party super-majority.
Ticketmaster may very well be the worst misnomer this side of "Big Ten football." They've mastered nothing.
It's your typical Monday morning: You grudgingly fight your way out of bed, stumble across campus to class and slump into the first seat you can find in the back of Carleton Auditorium. Your professor walks in and somberly approaches the lectern.
While we have not seen the impact of Gator Watch, as someone who has worked the safety zone, I have seen the benefits this program provides for students.
I would like to say two things to Daniel Seco: First, please do not wave your "strong Catholic" banner while promoting things that are unequivocally contrary to the Church's teaching. You can't have it both ways.
By now, we think it's safe to assume Gainesville touts a fairly left-wing point of view. The area's liberal tendency is especially obvious on UF's campus, where protests are as common as man-crushes on Percy Harvin.
