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?
A letter to the editor in Wednesday's paper described Republican presidential hopeful Sen. John McCain's economic plan as sound.

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.
Countless Gulf Coast communities lie in the wake of Hurricane Gustav's path and are now in desperate need of rebuilding to help salvage the lives of thousands.
Looks like the Gator, err, Swamp Party - wait, which semester is it again?
Despite its obvious appeal to a culture still enamored with war, Sen. John McCain's past as a tortured POW is in fact his greatest shortcoming. It is precisely what makes him ill-suited to lead us into an acceptable future.
In Tuesday's Alligator, College Republicans Chairman Bryan Griffin said that Sen. John McCain's pick for vice president, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, was a person of honesty and integrity.
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.
You're here. You've made it back to Gainesville, and some of you are here for the first time. That's great. Now get the hell out of here.
Typically we only dole out laurels at the end of the week, but given the circumstances, we don't mind handing out a big one to start the week. Besides, a little positive opining once in a while couldn't hurt.
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. Sarah Palin of Alaska as his running mate. 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.
Unity is the talk of the town in Denver this week. The Democrats have gone out of their way to try to demonstrate that their party has healed its rift in the months following the grueling primary battle between Sens. Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
First off, we would like to issue an at-least-someone-does-their-homework LAUREL to UF spokesman Steve Orlando for calling out the Editorial Board for an embarrassing blunder. We wrongly implied that UF President Bernie Machen contacted the St. Petersburg Times with an editorial when it was the other way around. From now on, we will quadruple check ourselves before we wreck ourselves. Our bad.
