Leadership not shown in ‘new’ Congress

Published Jan 19, 2007

The Democratic Congress is in the throes of finishing up its "100-hour" legislation, which ended up taking almost two weeks, or 336 hours. It would seem that the Democrats, despite taking an entire day off for the BCS Championship Bowl, are finally in a position to take a stand against the Bush administration.

And so, one would expect that in the midst of Bush's increase of more than 20,000 troops to Iraq, the Democrats would be on fire with opposition.

It made me sad to answer no - and not just because he's cute.Even though I'm currently in a relationship, more or less, in my last year of college, I have always been someone who has loved being single and free - and for good reason.

I barely have time for a boyfriend my senior year of college; it amazes me how people have made time for relationships their freshman year, a time of transition into an entirely different environment.

Administration makes bad call

Published Jan 18, 2007

It seems the Bush administration is finally waking up to a situation that is already a nightmare for most Americans. But their most recent solution to the problem doesn't seem to be sitting well with American public.What was once just a step in the wrong direction for the United States has left us stranded in the wrong direction, and rather than turning around and going back, the recent troop surge is simply digging America in deeper.

Appreciate little details

Published Jan 18, 2007

It has always amazed me that some of the world's greatest discoveries were accidentally made by people looking for something else. Alexander Fleming, for instance, discovered the antibiotic penicillin in 1928 when his neglected bacteria culture got moldy.

In the 1940s, four teenage boys stumbled upon some of the world's oldest cave paintings in Lascaux, France, when they followed their dog into a hole in the ground.

Even Christopher Columbus was just trying to find a faster way to India when he sailed into the Americas.
