Gay marriage. Yes, we are discussing this again. Most Americans are under the impression that Republicans are anti-homosexual rights. While this may be true in a large number of members of the Republican Party, it most certainly is not true for all of them. When you think of an 83-year-old Republican man who once served…
Despite an unwelcome snowstorm this weekend, it is true that summer is just around the corner. The time for shorts, sleeveless shirts and swimsuits is upon us. The big thing that everyone worries about for the summer is being in shape. We all want to be looking good in those slinky sundresses or dashing board…
Nevada rancher Cliven Bundy is a desperado with wonky ideas about the Constitution, and the armed nutjobs who joined his skirmish with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) are a nutty vanguard of the deluded conspiracy-mongers who dominate the far right wing in American politics. But they aren’t in the wrong. Given their actions, they…
A summer job. We all need one. And the worst part of the search? Interviews. Especially if you are trying to get an internship in the field you have chosen as a career. You apply for every job you find, hoping at least one is interested in you. Before you know it, you get a…
We’ve all done it. And we will all do it again. We are all culprits of the phenomenon that is the “that’s what she said” joke. And the question we’ve all had cross our minds for however fleeting a second is: when are “that’s what she said” jokes appropriate? All the time, that’s when. Whether…
Let’s talk politics. Student government to be precise. As some of you may possibly be aware of, ASUW Senate elections are coming up. I can tell because of the students standing throughout Prexy’s getting in my way as I hurry to class. ASUW likes to present themselves as being important to the UW campus and…
SPOILER ALERT. Yeah, that’s the word. If you haven’t finished the Divergent trilogy, stop reading. Right now. Go away. All right. Allegiant was quite possibly one of the biggest disappointments in literary history. And not because it was written poorly, because it wasn’t. It’s the way it ends that jacks it all up. In…
The semester is drawing to an end. The weather is warming up. Gradually. And classes are almost out, which will equal freedom for three months. The problem is, while we can see Finals Week at the end of the tunnel, we still have some time before we actually make it there. There are some…
You’ve been waiting all year to play a prank of epic proportions on your roommate, friend, coworker, boss or what have you. And that day, April Fool’s Day, is finally here. You have everything in order… except an actual plan. Not to worry, your new How-To girl is here to assist. Does your coworker or…
Raised to be unique, independent, and special, the millennial generation is one that politicians may not have such a good grasp on. We are of an age where choices are more than just black and white; we live in the grey space. Our parents’ generation had the decision between Coke and Pepsi. We have Soda…
Companies are granted the right to refuse to hire certain female prospects if the owners have religious objections to mothers working outside the home. Companies are granted the right to fire pregnant employees because the owner finds their presence distracting. Are those rights fair? Should they be granted? How far are we as a…
Once upon a time, people connected. They gathered in various locations to talk about the world and the problems in it. Even if that conversation was just about the game of the day before. Once upon a time, newspapers were read by the masses. Everyone read the same the news stories and was aware of…
