Health reform has become a win win for insurance and a lose lose for Americans. We’ll get less, pay more, and wreck our chances of getting the only system that makes sense, single payer, for at least a decade.
by Zach Becker I saw the following exchange on one of my friend’s Facebook pages. “Garrett took the quiz, Which sexual position best suits you. His result is cowgirl.” Comments: “I find that disgusting.” – Lucille. “Sorry Aunt Lucille” – Garrett. Anyone remember the days before Facebook sold out? Before you had to worry that [...]
by Mike Courson Thank goodness for Jon Stewart. I can recall watching his first talk show on MTV many years ago, but it was not until the 2000 election that I became hooked on Comedy Central’s “The Daily Show.” Since then, not only do I credit Stewart with getting me interested in the news and [...]
by Mike Courson Talk about your worst day ever. Just before 11:30 a.m. last Friday, Farrah Fawcett, 62, died of cancer in a Santa Monica hospital.

While it should be upsetting when a doctor is killed in church, undoubtedly many otherwise decent people will be pleased by his death. I am upset for a few reasons. Obviously, a man was killed. Though I do not [...]
by Zach Becker Everybody wants to be a rock star. But most of us just keep our performances relegated to the car with the radio loud so no one else is seriously afflicted. Technology is changing all that, now, and with the power of YouTube you can let the whole world hear your feeble skills [...]
Zach Becker Editor-in-Chief If a small is a medium, a medium a large, and a large a biggie, where in the world did the small go? That’s the question I’ve been pondering after eating at several fast food joints. Apparently, the soft drink formerly known as a small is being phased out. I’ve noticed this [...]
Raymond Lehnhoff Webmaster So here I am, my first year of college solidly under my belt, and as I sit here thinking to myself, I realized that I’d done things that I never thought I would a year ago. I decided to compile a small list. 1) Jumping out of an airplane. Let me start [...]
