April Fool's antics for devious and unsympathetic only children
(04/03/11 6:00am)
I remember when that irritating kid who ate his boogers would pull the your-shoe-is-untied joke and I always fell for it, no matter how much of a sarcastic, scrunchy face I made at him.

Breaking down spring break by the numbers
(03/21/11 6:00am)
It's Sunday as I'm writing this and like usual it will be until midnight. But come midnight, Cinderella won't be the only girl bawling her eyes out because her dreams are suddenly shattered. I too will be crying—crying over the painful loss of my sanity (yet again) because spring break is over. I have only nine hours and fifty-seven minutes until I arrive at my romantic poetry class two minutes late. I've become that perpetually-slightly-late kid, but what can you expect from a person taking their final undergraduate classes? Well, you can assume that after procrastinating on writing this column for the entirety of break I'm doing so in a laundromat. Procrastination… like finally washing the seven loads of dirty clothing I've kept stockpiled in my closet for about a month—bet the rental company loved showing that. Serves them right for sending me an email and calling and leaving a voicemail I will never listen to each time they schedule a showing.

Out-of-towners converge on State Street
(03/06/11 6:00am)
I love when Madison rallies and we all come together for justice and peace and love and the people and everybody's smiling and chanting and crying and you get that ""One for all and all for one"" kind of funky feeling.
Martin answers questions on Madison split, budget
(03/03/11 6:00am)
Chancellor Biddy Martin and Vice Chancellor Darrell Bazzell answered questions about how a proposed public authority model and major budget cuts would affect UW-Madison faculty and students at a forum Wednesday.
PATRIOT Act extension: An assault on liberty
(03/01/11 6:00am)
Liberty is the most essential element in a successful relationship between a government and its people. We enjoy our freedom and place immense value in our personal privacy. Thus, a government that rewards these rights generally earns our trust. But when such basic human entitlements are threatened, we respond. When the British Empire denied our freedom to enjoy representation in government—we fought. When slavery suppressed the freedom of life from black Americans—we reformed. And when a governor attempted to suppress unions' freedom to bargain—thousands took to the streets.
Students discuss African-American leadership at forum
(02/28/11 6:00am)
The Wisconsin Association of Black Men hosted the 3rd Annual Black Men's Initiative in the lounge of Ogg Hall Friday to discuss key issues faced in the community, leadership and the importance of setting a positive example for others to follow.
Dissent: Dems wrong to flee
(02/24/11 6:00am)
The way the Senate Democrats tell the story, they're heroes. They're appropriately pulling a Lincoln-esque move by fleeing to the Land of Lincoln. But I find that version hard to swallow.
FYI: Governor Walker is not Hitler
(02/23/11 6:00am)
Gov. Scott Walker is not Hitler. He's also not Hosni Mubarak. The governor is not a terrorist, he is not a fascist and he's certainly no Mussolini. I could continue, but I feel the same way about such comparisons as I do about herpes; they are unsightly, unfortunate and spread like wildfire if left unattended.
Shooting gallery leads UW past Penn State
(02/21/11 6:00am)
After an exciting game against then-No.1 Ohio State last weekend, Sunday's matinee against Penn State was sure to be lacking in terms of emotional punch. But after a loss to Purdue during the week, defending the home turf was crucial for UW as they responded with a 76-66 win over Penn State.
Transparency key for partnership
(02/20/11 6:00am)
When it comes to details about the New Badger Partnership, Chancellor Biddy Martin has been talking in generalities for nearly a year. Martin has continually called for drastic measures to help cushion the possibility of large cuts to university funding—measures she vaguely described as ""flexibility"" and ""increased tools."" However, when a memo with specifics about the possible shape of the New Badger Partnership was released last week, it seemed as if behind-the-door details that had built up for months were finally made public.
Dan Potacke celebrates two years of fantasticness
(02/17/11 6:00am)
With his show's two-year anniversary special coming up Feb. 24 at the Frequency, Dan Potacke now lays claim to the title of Madison's talk show king. True, that's partially because he might be Madison's only talk show host, but it's an awesome title nonetheless. The Daily Cardinal sat down with Potacke for a recent Q&A about some of his best memories, Gov. Scott Walker and the possible consequences of the Rapture, among other topics.
Oh, I get it. It's funny because it's sexual.
(02/14/11 6:00am)
Natalie walks up State Street, drenched in sweat. It's Valentine's Day 2011, and Natalie is feeling hot. It's gotta be at least 50 degrees out. Then, she overhears a man say to a woman, ""I apologize for my complete inability to do anything romantic.""
Recent Florida court ruling doesn't kill health care bill
(02/06/11 6:00am)
Ambiguity in a legal ruling can be troublesome. In some cases, some pretty unpredictable and immature actions occur while trying to establish the constitutionality of a certain court ruling. For example, when U.S. District Judge Roger Vinson of Florida found one small mandate of the Affordable Health Care Act unconstitutional, there are many different ways to interpret his ruling.

Snow day: Students rejoice in canceled classes
(02/03/11 6:00am)
At 6 p.m. Tuesday, the UW-Madison campus erupted with cries of ""Snow day!"" as students rushed to sledding hills and liquor stores to celebrate their day off.
Marley's work still great 30 years gone
(01/30/11 6:00am)
No musical genre is as synonymous with an artist as Reggae is with Bob Marley. Nirvana's hold on grunge music might be the closest parallel, but even Cobain had plenty of worthy competitors in Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell. Hell, the most famous Reggae artists after Bob Marley are his bandmates (Peter Tosh, Bunny Wailer) and his kids (Damian, Ziggy, Stephen and Julian).
Get Up Kids can't get it up on comeback album
(01/28/11 6:00am)
The Get Up Kids have been noticeably absent from the music scene for the last six years. After four studio albums, a live album and numerous EPs and seven-inch records, the band called it quits in 2005 when mounting tensions made it nearly impossible for them to play together. After a six-year hiatus, they put out an album that is completely different from the rest of their catalog, blending their emo style with a lot of '80s style synth and the dissonance of modern indie rock.
