Celebrity news not real news

The American TV news media are the sources that most of us trust to bring us up to date on the goings on around the world. Said media, however, are becoming increasingly poisoned with trash that has no place on the airwaves.No, I'm not talking about the conservative slant of Fox News or CNN's supposed liberal bias.

While the coverage may have a partisan viewpoint to it, it's still news. There are other, much more insidious programs clogging the airwaves and rotting brains across the nation.

Homemaking concentration a step back for modern women

Published Sep 5, 2007

Do you remember middle school and how everyone was required to take home economics?Boys and girls alike crowded together in a classroom and learned about sewing on buttons, baking the perfect cookie and other trivial basics of domestic life.

At Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary one can revisit home economics with a 23-hour homemaking concentration with classes such as Homemaking Practicum, The Value of a Child, Clothing Construction Lab, Biblical Model for the Home and Family and Meal Preparation Lab.

There is one problem: it is only open to women.

Hit the Road Jack

Published Sep 5, 2007

Today is the 50th anniversary of the publication of Jack Kerouac's "On the Road," a fictional autobiography inspired by Kerouac's travels throughout the country. Kerouac struggled to find his place in postwar America and eventually rejected the cultural and social norms of his era, according to his biography on biblio.com. Kerouac conveyed this attitude through his stream-of-consciousness rhetoric, which was purposefully spontaneous and non-conformist. He shared this style with several of his contemporaries, such as William S. Burroughs and Allen Ginsberg.

Listen to the press conference
While head coach Gary Patterson recognized the magnitude of Saturday's match-up with the University of Texas Longhorns during Tuesday's media luncheon, he said the game is just one of 12 games on this year's schedule.

No excuse for Patterson’s lie

Published Sep 5, 2007

Gary Patterson has been consistently tight-lipped during most of his time at TCU, but few thought before last week that the words he did utter might be laced with half-truths.Patterson admitted in Friday's Fort Worth Star-Telegram that he lied to reporters about senior Tommy Blake's condition, saying the star defensive end was out with a stomach bug when he was actually hospitalized.

It's much more than just a little white lie, though, because he didn't just lie to reporters.

He lied to the fans.

Don’t call it an upset if Frogs win

Published Sep 5, 2007

In the hours following quite possibly the ugliest 27-point shutout win one might ever see, I sent out text messages to some high school friends of mine who go to the University of Texas. The message was sent out at 11:13 p.m. and read "See you in a week." At 11:14 p.m., I got replies from two of my friends with the same response: "Prepare 2 die."

Oh, no you didn't.

My response? "TCU is not Arkansas State."
