As if the bus ride home didn't take long enough already, upcoming road construction on Newberry and Archer is forcing the Editorial Board to break out the Google Maps and study Gainesville's back roads harder than we study for class.
Liberal bias runs rampant on the Syracuse University campus, even in places you wouldn't expect.
Isn't it hilarious that on the same day that the Alligator prints the rants of a representative for College Democrats and a representative from Gators for McCain, it runs an editorial decrying the bipartisan trash talking of political hacks?

Mark McShera's letter to the editor Tuesday stands as one of the more egregious examples of incendiary fear-mongering I have seen yet during this campaign.

UF President Bernie Machen declared in his State of the University address Thursday that UF lacks the resources it needs because of a "gloomy economy." Perhaps he should have taken this into consideration before endorsing Sen. John McCain in January.

The abortion debate always manages to rear its ugly head, but now it's finding more inconspicuous ways to do so.
In a move that was timed to steal media attention from Sen. Barack Obama's nomination acceptance speech at the close of the Democratic National Convention, Sen. John McCain announced Gov.

Although the media craze surrounding her would have you think she is a demigod among mortal choices, Palin is not McCain's strongest possible vice presidential choice.
The Alligator rendered an opinion that I feel most forward-thinking persons would find shortsighted and disagreeable.
Because no action was taken by the West to stop the invasion of Georgia, Russia has now become bolder. Russian troops remain on Georgian land, days after the newest cease-fire was brokered by Condoleezza Rice.
