How much is there really to say about dialogue in literature?
A man who hates the police
(02/05/13 3:39am)
I have no reason to hate police officers. I have no criminal record. However, I had one run-in with the police that turned me off of local law enforcement forever.
Political rhetoric overshadows the issues
(01/31/13 7:45am)
Often times the rhetoric surrounding an issue becomes the issue itself. Emotional hang-ups and the ever-present argument of deeming something “unconstitutional” can overwhelm the issue at hand, and that can not only hinder solving that problem, it can also blow the problem out of proportion and then lead an effort to fix things that aren’t broken.
Too much hookah ruins perfectly boring break
(01/31/13 2:52am)
I don’t know about all of you, but I’m pretty glad to be back in Madison. Time off is great and all; it lets you hang loose a bit, catch up on sleep. But being at home can be super boring.
Polling policies need more structure
(01/28/13 4:23am)
During the last presidential election, multiple hour-long lines prevented an estimated 200,000 people in Florida from voting. For reference, that’s more than twice President Barack Obama’s margin of victory in the state.

(01/28/13 4:06am)
In 2009 I went to my first concert. Travis Barker had survived a horrific plane crash and his band, Blink-182, was playing at the First Midwest Bank Amphitheater in Tinley Park, Ill. As I walked through the parking lot after the show—eardrums still ringing (as they would for about a week)—a group of teenage boys came sprinting up to me.

(01/24/13 1:34am)
In 1982, the Descendants released a slew of 15 succinct hardcore punk vignettes collectively titled Milo Goes to College. The record was a chronicle of things that ticked the band off: authority, politicians, parents, this, that and who cares.

Ears full of Ear Wax
(12/07/12 6:01am)
Hidden among well-known commercial businesses, the unimposing record store remains unnoticed by those walking down West Gilman Street in Madison. Its sign almost blends in with the monochrome gray building in which the store resides. Walking up the creaky staircase to the second floor makes it feel as though a dreary apartment living room probably lies behind the cracked wooden door.
Thong-wearing scooter man, we salute you
(12/05/12 5:23am)
As we settle into the warm, fleece-lined crevices of our winter coats and guard against the frigid, winds of a Wisconsin winter, its hard not to have one’s mind directed toward certain seasonal traditions and celebrations.

Spotlight on age-old debates
(11/28/12 3:50am)
Just as many people who partook in the Pepsi Challenge back in the day to see whether they could distinguish between the world’s two foremost colas, American citizens partook in the presidential election a few weeks back to decipher between two candidates whose political views may or may not be apparent to them. Often in life, people believe that they prefer one thing to another and hold steadfast in their perspective that they know that certain thing really, really well. However, after further investigation, their prior views are often reduced to absurdity.
Special effects put the life in Pi
(11/26/12 4:41am)
Of all the working filmmakers today, Ang Lee may be one of the most diverse. He has tackled martial arts in “Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon,” the superhero genre in “Hulk,” Jane Austen in his adaptation of “Sense and Sensibility” and most recently, Woodstock in his 2009 film “Taking Woodstock.”
Ball breaks record in OT loss
(11/25/12 4:44am)
STATE COLLEGE, Pa.—The conflict of emotions that Montee Ball must have felt Saturday could almost be felt as he spoke with the media at Beaver Stadium after Wisconsin’s 24-21 overtime loss to Penn State.
Lessons in personal style from the ‘Man Repeller’

(11/12/12 7:40am)
The Wisconsin women’s soccer team (5-5-1 Big Ten, 12-8-1 overall) traveled to Los Angeles to meet a familiar foe Saturday night in a first-round NCAA tournament matchup. The Badgers fell to a then-No. 2 UCLA (8-2-1 Pac-12, 16-2-2 overall) August 31 but looked to avenge their early season loss with an upset over a talented Bruins team.
Referendums create federal tension
(11/12/12 3:09am)
While civil rights issues in the 2012 presidential election were doomed from the start due to the two candidates being Bush 2.0 (President Barack Obama) and Bush 2.5 (former Gov. Mitt Romney), a few state initiatives were passed that lit up the gloomy aura hanging over our country (pun intended). In both Colorado and Washington, ballot initiatives called for the legalization of marijuana for recreational use. In Massachusetts marijuana was legalized for medical use. Colorado also has decriminalized the personal cultivation of marijuana.

(11/05/12 1:47am)
Dear Alex,
Doping being taken too lightly in U.S.
(10/17/12 2:59am)
Lance Armstrong, seven-time Tour de France winner, cancer survivor and hero to many, is now inching closer and closer to being perceived as a performance-enhancing drug user in the court of public opinion. The worst part is that this transgression did not take me by surprise.
