On Friday, readers of this paper were treated to \Standing Up for Wal-Mart."" Nic Lehmann-Ziebarth's editorial had the unambiguous goal of standing up for Wal-Mart in the face of that lynch mob of liberals who hate our nation's most impressive chain of superstores, their practices, and that annoying smiley face who keeps rolling back prices.
On Friday, readers of this paper were treated to \Standing Up for Wal-Mart."" Nic Lehmann-Ziebarth's editorial had the unambiguous goal of standing up for Wal-Mart in the face of that lynch mob of liberals who hate our nation's most impressive chain of superstores, their practices, and that annoying smiley face who keeps rolling back prices.
Wal-Mart has really become the company to hate while everyone continues to shop there. The New York Times recently ran an article about whether Wal-Mart, overall, is good or bad for the nation.
In politics we often hear from conservatives about something called \class warfare,"" which is when a liberal politician proposes something for the relative benefit of those at the bottom of the economic spectrum. Apparently, redistributing the tax burden to the bottom is just fine by them, but complaining about it makes one a bitter Marxist. However, anybody who thinks class warfare is dead hasn't been watching enough television lately. A peek at any reality show can tell you just how alive it is when sold properly.
It has been said before, but now is fit to say again-last week, labor sold its soul to the company store.
Though I am a fan of the Friday Forum on the Opinion page, I am afeared that considerable entertainment potential is being squandered. Letters to the editor which serve as useful means of participation in public dialogue are all well and good, but the letters I relish from my youth in small-town Wisconsin are of a different sort; a sort not indentured to usefulness, relevance or even coherence.
Greetings new UW-Madison student, wherever and whenever you may be perusing our humble publication.
Among the many over-hyped, under-appreciated products that have come and gone over the years, SPAM has perhaps the longest shelf life. Humble yet gaudy, practical and novel, the happy yellow letters have graced canned meat aisles for more than 60 years.
There are so many things angering me today that I can barely concentrate for 200 words at a time. Actually, it could just be a new and more advanced stage of senioritis setting in, heralding a new era of convoluted ramblings on my part, but I prefer to believe it's just that this is a very difficult time for everyone, what with so much wrong with the world.
This week I will be answering questions. Enjoy!
\Population: 485"" drives down dirt roads with an ambulance's lights flashing and nothing but the northern Wisconsin woods for company. The book sifts through the life of the volunteer fire department in New Auburn. Composed of ""part-timers, novices and rogues,"" it manages to perform its duties faithfully whether those duties are putting out a fire, saving lives at an auto accident or running a beer tent.
Robin Williams continues to hone his talent for playing understated creeps in the Mark Romanek release \One Hour Photo."" The film portrays Williams as a simple photo technician who lives his life through the picturesque memories of a local family. He continues in the suspense genre here, following up his performance in ""Insomnia"" as yet another quiet yet alarmingly deranged individual. Family values come to the forefront time and time again throughout the unruffled beginning, showing how gilded the lifestyles of private citizens can really be.
Sometimes the easiest route isn't the best one.
I was intrigued by Mike Murphy's column on religion, TV and his friend's call to seminary (""Religion finds network TV, friend's future,"" Jan. 30). Mr. Murphy's childhood experience with religion seems very similar to those of many in our culture. What is wrong with the Christian religion that it turns so many away even at such a young age? Murphy answers that question: Religion is a bunch of old men in robes condemning homosexuality, womens' rights and so on and so forth. As a result, atheists abound. But I have to ask Murphy, are you really an atheist? At the age of 12, did you possess the critical faculties to determine that no supreme intelligent being can exist? Many people today judge religion prematurely; before even an intellectual understanding is obtained, people wholeheartedly reject religion.
In my friend's room, you'll find a photo of him flipping off a Wal-Mart and a bumper sticker that spits: \Mall-Wart."" Last week I finally understood his angst.
Kmart Corp., an institution that used discounted prices and BlueLight Specials to reach out to blue-collar America, on Tuesday became the largest retailer to seek protection in bankruptcy court.
So I go home, and my grandpa thinks he's going on cruise at Christmas, and that makes him happier than he's ever been in his entire life. But of course Grandma has to remind him that he's actually spending Christmas in Atlanta, and that makes him happier than he's ever been in his entire life.
You can super-size it, you can biggie-size it, and 32-ounce sodas are not even the largest sodas on the market anymore.
Statewide reports of wildly fluctuating gas prices and world stock market speculation ran rampant Wednesday following the four-pronged terrorist attack that killed thousands in New York City, Washington, D.C., and rural Pennsylvania.
