Lana Del Rey, controversy or big break?
If you know me well, you know I love music. I always seem to always be searching for a new artist or genre to be fascinated with. This time, I didn’t really find a new artist, but more like a new controversy. YouTube had become my best friend over Christmas break as I had been...
Golden Globe
The 69th annual Golden Globe awards were this past Sunday, Jan. 15 and I was watching in all of it’s glory.

The Republican Caucus for the Common Man
Bipartisan, single-member district, plurality, incumbent, federalism: chances are those words look vaguely familiar to the vocab list of your high school government class.

Call it a conspiracy theory if you want, but please, dear reader, listen to and comprehend this information. I recently attended Dr. Wally Metts’s discussion on his new project, the Santa...

Occupy Wall Street
A Synchronized Whine
It’s generally acknowledged that no one likes being a statistic. Take this one for example: “More than 10 people a year are killed by vending machines.” It’s funny, but not if you’re the victim of a vicious vending machine attack. However, something worse than being a statistic is being part of the large majority in...
Nickelback Playing Halftime Show?
What comes to mind when you hear “Nickelback”? Maybe a few jokes and maybe even a few songs from their albums.Now they are going to be associated with Detroit when they play at halftime during the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers football game on Thanksgiving. Residents of Detroit do not want this to happen....

The Shame of the Campus: Bikes being jacked from their racks
On my last night on campus before the end of the semester last May, I walked back to University Hall to celebrate the end of finals with my friends. My hopes of celebration were quickly dashed as I neared the front doors of my residence hall, noticing my bike lying crippled on the ground. There...
