How soon is too soon?

If Hurricane Katrina were a real person, I think she have been a real slut, considering the amount of seamen she swallowed up in 2005. It’s that kind of stuff that tends to get me in a bit of trouble. I have never been one to subscribe to all the […]

Above the Law: Semester’s end brings “short-timer’s” syndrome

Writer offers advice about job market

Woe is me. That’s been the ongoing theme to my search for a job after college, a deadline that approaches, ever-looming on the horizon. I’ve been given a healthy dose of Truth-O’s for breakfast, and I’m washing it down with a glass of “life’s not fair.” This attitude is what […]

Lazy students lower education value

The average day of a college student usually goes something like this – Get up. Class soon. Five minutes late. Boring lecture. Next class. Test. Didn’t study. Pray to pass. Teacher is a jerk. Break. Last class. Lab. Way too long. Zone out for three hours. Done. Nap. Food. Friends. […]

Above the Law: “Deem and pass” sidesteps democracy

Just when I thought I had heard every ludicrous thing the government of the United States could do, I get slapped upside the head with the “Deem and Pass” rule, also known as the “Slaughter House Rule.” What is going on? Article 1, Section 7 of the Constitution says that […]

Tyler Perry programs further stereotypes

The list of people who make me laugh or produce things that make me laugh is a long one. On this list are entertainers such as Adam Sandler, Judd Apatow, Chris Rock, the writing team of Broken Lizard, Tina Fey, Tracy Morgan, Jim Carrey and so on and so forth. […]
