'The Cradle Will Rock,' will rock you
(12/05/12 6:15am)
“The Cradle Will Rock,” a fantastically produced show put on by University Theater, managed to carry a comedic tone while still addressing the serious theme of the fall of Wall Street during the Great Depression. The story takes place during the late 1930s in Steeltown, USA. It jumps between the present and past lives of those in the justly named “Liberty Committee,” the Committee’s leader, Mr. Mister, and those who are affected by Mister’s great wealth and power—beginning with Moll, the “hooker with the heart of gold,” who’s just trying to make a decent living in hard times.
Going going, back back to Cali Cali
(12/05/12 5:19am)
I’m unbelievably excited for winter break. It’s been years—and yes, I mean years—since I’ve been on a legit vacation. But wait, there’s more—I’m going to one of the happiest places on Earth: Southern California.

The dark side of Black Fridays past: Furbies
(11/20/12 2:58am)
Thanksgiving is almost here, but let’s be real, despite the savory qualities of grandma’s homemade pumpkin pie, for many people, T-giving is just a carbo-loading pregame for the real event: Black Friday.
Earn bragging rights at Thanksgiving with these delicious dishes
(11/14/12 12:00pm)
Thanksgiving is just around the riverbend. This holiday is a turning point, if you will, from eating semi-normal sized portions and going for jogs on brisk fall days to gorging on potatoes, pie and more potatoes and claiming it’s “too icy” to peel yourself away from ABC family’s Harry Potter Weekend.
Seeking jelly-filled justice at Greenbush Bakery
(11/14/12 8:31am)
For the past two months, my taste buds have been pleasantly teased and titilated by the sugary, kosher goodness that is Greenbush Bakery. Let me tell you, nothing motivates you to walk to class like the smell of a bakery just two blocks away from your front porch.
Making a first impression through a carefully crafted title
(11/07/12 4:46am)
A rose by any other name would smell as sweet, but would a book by any other name read as well? Could you imagine “The Great Gatsby” retaining its charms if it were named “Trimalchio” or “Under the Red, White and Blue?” Fitzgerald could’ve. He wanted to call it one of those two, or maybe even “Gold-Hatted Gatsby” or “The High-Bouncing Lover.”
The election is finally fading away, and with it goes challenging our beliefs
(11/07/12 4:17am)
Whether my guy won or lost will be decided by the time anyone but the editors read this. But as I am writing this, the decision of who will become president is still very much in limbo. It’s exciting, invigorating and just a tad bit terrifying to contemplate that this year’s election is a bit more up-in-the-air than any in my recent memory.
Interpreting symbolism in all (high and low) seriousness
(10/31/12 6:15am)
Symbolism. God, that’s a big topic to cover. I mean, how do you even go about it? What’s the peppy, prepared angle on this topic? Without it dissolving into some kind of tract or tirade I mean. I do my best, week in and week out, to avoid either of those modes.

Style tips from UW-Madison CollegeFashionistas
(10/18/12 4:39pm)
CollegeFashionistas are the ones who capture and write about the stylish students on the UW-Madison campus, but what about the styles of the Style Gurus themselves? Two of our UW-Madison CollegeFashionista Style Gurus, Taylor Viegut and Chelsi Zollner, sat down with The Daily Cardinal to share their own style tips.
Striking musical gold at small venues
(10/09/12 3:47am)
The past few years have been a learning experience for me musically. I’ve let dust collect on the Megadeth and Dream Theater CDs that I listened to almost religiously at full blast in high school and have started thinking about my musical preferences holistically. Instead of being obsessed with a few similar genres, I’ve branched out into styles and sounds that I could have never imagined myself enjoying.
Packers game gets political with tweets from Walker, Erpenbach
(09/26/12 6:52am)

Mercury: why ‘mad hatters’ were so mad
(09/26/12 2:38am)
In a stuffy milliner’s workshop in Danbury, Conn., a hat maker brushed a solution of mercury nitrate over a set of rabbit furs. This was the first step of several that the hatmaker would perform to transform the furs into the stiff felt hats in fashion in the late 18th century. As he worked, the milliner breathed in vapors from the muggy air.
How can you even think about voting for Romney?
(09/20/12 1:59am)
The night after the Packers won the Super Bowl in 2011 my palm was burning from all the high-fives I got during and after the game. State Street was awash in Green and Gold fans celebrating in the temperate winter conditions. I remember watching the Wisconsin vs. Ohio State game where J.J. Watt and company steamrolled the No. 1 ranked Buckeyes. The city erupted, students and visitors crammed the bars and the streets until the early morning.
