Tuesday's column titled "Libertarian candidate has no chance" demonstrates why our election system is messed up and why less than half of voters bother to show up at the polls.
I was pleased with Marc Weinoth's article Friday.
The Editorial Board is pleased to see several state and local agencies coming to the rescue of an often-overlooked local treasure.
UF's world-famous and exceedingly popular "Go Gator Nation" ad campaign has finally come to a end.
The largest student-run pep rally has once again failed to deliver a show for students. Instead, it will feature the Steve Miller Band playing their greatest hits for alumni.
Election 2008 has finally cast all of its actors.
I was happy to see the editorial about staying classy. I'm glad someone commented about some of the nasty things said between Miami and UF fans. My group of friends was a mix of Gators and Hurricanes fans.
I entered UF in 1998 with 26 Advanced Placement and 11 dual enrollment credits. Everybody said how great that was and how quickly I could get through school. I, like many of you, did not need study skills to get A's in high school.
Want to stop ticket scalping?
As if the Barack Obama train didn't have enough momentum, local supporters decided to hold an event to garner more support for the inescapable media darling. They even gave it a clever moniker: Obama-rama.
Saturday night, as Tim Tebow was trying to organize offensive drives, the stadium was blaring loud when it should have been quiet.
I don't own a car, so I keep a colorful, expensively designed Regional Transit System bus schedule by my bedside.
Saturday night's football game was everything we thought it could be. Although we have our worries about the correlation between media hype and the Gators' actual potential, the Editorial Board was thoroughly satisfied with the team's victory over Miami.
Hurricane Gustav has passed with, thankfully, little damage, allowing Republicans to drop all pretenses of bipartisanship and launch into what, in my mind, is the nastiest convention in recent history.
Sen. John McCain's choice of Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate shows his inability to comprehend what Sen. Hillary Clinton's female supporters really stood for. In view of Palin's ultraconservative views, to believe that her gender alone would cause Clinton supporters to run in McCain's direction because of some estrogen gravitational pull truly insults female intelligence.
I've got some good news for students still looking for a ticket to tomorrow's football game against Miami: There are plenty available. It will only cost you $150.
Politics aren't my thing. One of my favorite quotes by Albert Einstein is, "Yes, we have to divide up our time like that, between our politics and our equations. But to me our equations are far more important, for politics are only a matter of present concern. A mathematical equation stands forever."
I've lived to see everything now.
This week, we'll start on a positive note. We would like to issue a 50-years-is-a-long-time-but-let's-keep-the-ball-rolling LAUREL to UF and George Starke Jr. for demolishing our school's color barrier a half-century ago. The feat may seem small now, but such an important breakthrough demands everyone's recognition and thanks.
