Nobody ever accused Meric Long of being too decisive. ""Sad, but it's not; maybe just for a moment,"" he humbly coos on the ambient, reserved introduction to ""Joe's Waltz,"" just one verse before driving into the angular, violent whirlwind of action and reform that closes the song. The vocalist and guitarist for the acoustic-pop group the Dodos writes songs that waft loneliness and desperation, all the while bursting with confidence and liveliness—oftentimes within the same eight bars of music. The Dodos fearlessly twisted and dragged each song on 2008's Visiter to its most strenuous, uncomfortable limit. They just couldn't be helped.
Currently, fourteen states across the nation allow the use of medicinal marijuana as a treatment for various illnesses. For cancer patients, marijuana is used to remedy the terrible nausea that follows chemotherapy. In people affected by glaucoma, the sticky icky has been shown to reduce irritating intraocular eye pressure. Even for people with AIDS, pot stimulates appetite in order to reverse the debilitating effects of wasting syndrome.
Just when we thought Wisconsin took a progressive step in a cleaner and healthier direction, Puff the Magic Dragon and his friend Camel Joe publically announced their plans to repeal the newly enacted Wisconsin smoking ban. Republican candidates for Governor, Scott Walker and Rep. Mark Neumann, have made it quite clear in their campaigns they consider the smoking ban an unnecessary barrier within the economy. While there are questions about whether Walker consistently contested the ban or if opponent Neumann inspired his open opposition, the important issue shouldn't revolve petty ""he said, he said"" debates but rather the sole fact that these candidates aim to lift the ban at all.
Last month, the Madison city council approved the $98 million redevelopment of the Edgewater Hotel. That sounds like a lot of money to the average Madisonian, but lately the city has been on a spending spree when it comes to new buildings—whether they're hotels, libraries or apartment complexes.

This decade UW-Madison has taken a lot of flak from students, alumni and other frequently frustrated persons for its track record with commencement speakers. And it's not without reason, as the recent list of speakers hasn't really had much of a ""wow"" factor.

My mother shares a birthday with Jay Leno. When the bartender announced this during her birthday celebration at the Nitty Gritty last week, I flew into an instant rage, forgetting the occasion and proclaiming, ""I wish he were dead!"" to the entire restaurant. Mom was a tad unsettled by how quickly I could jump to murder, but frankly, I'm on Team Coco 'til the end.
These are the facts. On April 17, a small group of medical students paid an erotic dancer to perform at the Black Bag Ball, a formal event sponsored by the UW Medical Student Association and the Medical Alumni Association. The female dancer performed in the coatroom for several minutes before some other medical students asked her to leave. Rightfully and unsurprisingly, the media coverage of this year's Black Bag Ball has been extensive.
As graduation draws closer—terrifyingly close—and my departure from Wisconsin becomes more imminent, my yearlong effort to grow up and become a full-fledged, responsible adult becomes less about choice and more about necessity. Over the weekend, I decided the time had come to make a big step into adulthood: the purchase of a new car.
While most outgoing Badgers have played in their final competitive football game, at least three members of the 2009 Wisconsin football team have the chance to play professional football in the National Football League, as tight end Garrett Graham, defensive lineman/linebacker O'Brien Schofield and safety Chris Maragos have hooked up with NFL teams.

Last Thursday millions of Americans showed up to Tea Party rallies across the nation to demonstrate their grievances against and frustration with the federal government. The locally organized Tea Parties were a tremendous success. The Wall Street Journal reported many locations saw a dramatic increase in turnout. Tea Parties, which began little over one year ago, are now a national movement to be reckoned with as many political pundits analyze their potential impact in the upcoming midterm elections. Even former governor Tommy Thompson used the event to announce he was not going to be running for Senate.
Hello again! I apologize for my long hiatus, dear readers, but if you attended or are attending any of the events of Sexual Assault Awareness Month, Sexual Health Week, or Out and About Month, you know I have not been sitting around doing nothing—major props to PAVE, Sex Out Loud, the LGBT Campus Center, and all of our co-sponsors for helping to make these April events so successful.
Ahhh, the signs of spring. Birds chirping, warm weather returning and, of course, the high-pitched, reverberating metallic ping of an aluminum bat colliding with the leather husk of a baseball.
