Avoid the anal guy in the lab coat
(01/20/06 6:00am)
The first time a stranger shocked me on the topic of sex was when I was 17. I waltzed into Wal-Mart and inconspicuously grabbed a box of condoms. Not wanting to look like I was 17 and solely buying condoms, I opted to also buy a magazine.

(12/14/05 6:00am)
Many conscientious shoppers in Madison avoid Wal-Mart like the plague. Mercury Players Theatre brings the nefarious big box store and all of its loathsome policies in their farcical production, 'Walmartopia.'

Madison, UW evolving into 'Bobos'
(12/07/05 6:00am)
Ever heard of Bobos? Short for 'Bourgeois Bohemians,' Bobos is what commentator David Brooks calls the contemporary upper-middle class. As Brooks points out in his 2000 book 'Bobos in Paradise,' Madison is becoming Bobo. On one hand, Bobos are as banal as any era's bourgeoisie'over on Monroe Street, couples hire nannies for their children. On the other, Bobos are highly educated and exhibit traces of 1960s Bohemianism'strangely enough, the reason Madison has so many bike trails, coffee shops and bookstores. Put simply, Bobos are counter-culture merchants; they do business not only for personal profit, but for 'a cause.' Yet, whether Madison's Bobo concentration is good is hard to say.

No sabbath for the spender
(11/28/05 6:00am)
Like Hallmark set the trend by creating a commercialized holiday in February, mass retailers followed suit by selling December between the pages of glossy catalogues. Millions of shoppers awoke at dawn (or earlier) last Friday to deck one another while decking the halls with merchandise purchased at low, low prices. However, for most retail chains, the process of decking the halls began long ago. As a result, winter holidays receive virtually no recognition for their religious roots.

(11/10/05 6:00am)
For people not intimately involved with the organic food industry, the rise of organic food products from humble origins on the fringes of American counter-culture to the center of a multi-billion dollar industry has probably passed unnoticed. Only ten years ago organic products were found almost exclusively in specialty stores, and were largely produced by small specialized organic food companies.
Distant military friends deserve support
(09/06/05 6:00am)
As the approaching fall summons students back to Madison, many of us prepare to say goodbye to one set of friends and hello to another. Over the summer, we experience the familiar scene of catching up with our high school pals, exchanging stories of our collegiate capers and learning who got married, pregnant and who still works at Wal-Mart. But the rendezvous is never complete. Friends are always missing, often reflecting the absence of those high school buds who are serving America in a foreign land.
