Sometimes, public figures will actually grace us with some incredible quotes. There’s nothing I appreciate more than a verbal faux-pas, especially from someone famous or someone I despise. So, over the years, in a navy spiral notebook, I’ve written down some of the most notable and confusing of these. Let me share:
Hi everyone, I’m feeling under the weather today, so instead of writing a whole article about things, people and ideas I hate, I thought we could just you know, talk. Like, one-on-one. Me and you, the reader.
Yes, indeed, two weeks ago, House Majority Leader Eric Cantor, R-Virginia, released the 2014 working schedule for the House of Representatives. Down nearly three weeks from last year, the House will work—drum roll please—113 days next year. No, this is not a typographical error. Your patriotic, dedicated, democratically elected members of Congress, while enjoying a cushy $174,000 salary and gold-plated healthcare benefits, will work for a total of 113 days next year.
Every so often, when I’m bored and find myself crawling through the Internet looking up music reviews, I end up on Pitchfork. Pitchfork doesn’t really cover the genres of music I typically listen to; however, sometimes I attempt to broaden my horizons and saunter over to their website to see how they feel about a particular album.
The University of Wisconsin-Madison ranked sixth among U.S. universities and colleges in the number of students earning academic credit from study abroad programs during 2011-’12, according to the 2013 Open Doors Report on International Education Exchange released Monday.
Any good instructor will tell you that all writing is born out of planning. It’s a skill every one of your TAs in English class is trying to drill into you right now. And, while planning ahead or mapping out processes are skills that have broad applications, they are particularly pertinent to the practice of writing.
It's that time of year again. The rental ads are endless and the showing frenzy is in full swing. But take a breath, it'll be alright. Here is our guide to help you navigate the vibrant but overwhelming Madison housing market.
As many of you know, earlier this year Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a bill banning the “propaganda of nontraditional sexual relations” throughout Russia. These laws have made it illegal to hold gay pride parades and events, to defend gay rights through the media and to inform minors about the gay and lesbian community. Not only have these laws been imposed on citizens of Russia, but also on foreigners and the media, with fines of up to $31,000 being implemented. Due to the vagueness of this law, citizens and foreigners alike in Russia can be arrested simply for stating that they are gay.

Oct. 21, 1772: English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge is born.
Cass McCombs is a unique kind of artist. He doesn’t involve himself in the press nor does he particularly enjoy the music industry. What he does love, however, is music. This passion has been evident in all of his albums and it’s the outlet he uses to make himself shine in a trade where being subtle is not the name of the game.
There are a million things that can influence a person’s religion or lack-there-of. For me, it was the Bible. Personally, the translation, interpretation and manipulation makes faith in the Bible as a holy book impossible.
As the seasons change, so does makeup. There are two sides to fall: bright colors or lovely neutrals.
So the local cinemas have decided that “Fright Night 2” is far too pedestrian to grace their hallowed halls (rather ironic, given that most of them screened “We’re the Millers” when THAT came out), and WUDfilm decided that cute PIXAR monsters and Simon Pegg smacking zombies around was somehow exactly what this Halloween season needed.
Although tucked away in a quiet, residential area just south of campus, Madison’s free public zoo is comparable to the best in the nation, according to the Association of Zoos & Aquariums.
The Haim sisters have been hovering in the periphery of the music industry for their whole lives. From a family band during their years growing up in California to early tours behind acts like Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros and Ke$ha, Este, Danielle and Alana Haim’s success was a long time in the making. The three subtly took the summer by storm, which not so subtly included a successful appearance at Britain’s legendary Glastonbury festival.
An intoxicated University of Wisconsin-Madison student who was walking and texting suffered a possible concussion from being hit by a car while crossing University Avenue early Friday morning, according to a police report.
On Sept. 12, Hilldale Mall teamed up with Gilda’s Club Madison for the first annual Little Black Dress Affair. The night was full of black dresses, free treats, sweet deals and lots of fashion.
The most modern public library downtown Madison has ever seen celebrated its opening this past weekend.
