Turn on the TV or take a look at a newspaper this week and all you'll see is election, election, election. From bumper stickers on cars, to signs stuck in lawns, even "Facebook" has a section for "campaign issues" this fall, the upcoming midterm elections seem to be everywhere.

Everywhere that is, except TCU.

It is true. Believe the hype. "Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan," is hands-down the funniest movie you will see this year - possibly this decade.What can only be described as pure genius, "Borat" is a movie based on the sketch of the same name on HBO's "Da Ali G Show."

It follows the story of journalist Borat Sagdiyev (Sacha Baron Cohen, "Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby" and "Da Ali G Show") who leaves his native land of Kazakhstan for America.

You've heard stories all about it. You're achy; you have a fever and chills. This means you might even have it. That's right; flu season is here.Lavonne Adams, a professor in the Harris College of Nursing and Health Sciences, and registered nurse, the best way to prevent the flu is to get vaccinated each year.

"Flu season usually begins in October and ends in February," Adams said. "Getting a vaccine is very helpful."

Many American college students blow off the opportunity to do something people on the other side of the world risk their lives to do.Tuesday is Election Day, and unfortunately, students who are eligible to vote in Tarrant County may treat it no differently than any other day of the year.
