Aside from Halliburton, there is probably no better example of
why corporate monopolies do not work than Charter Communications.
Dominance in the Madison market, as well as in other areas across
the country, has led to complacency, high prices and woeful
customer service on the part of the cable goliath.

I've lived in the Bassett neighborhood now for less than six
weeks, and I've already fallen in love with it. The streets are
lined with old oaks and rusty bicycles. Alternative coffee shops
and interesting restaurants pop up in the most surprising places.
One such restaurant offering authentic Indian cuisine is Maharani
Restaurant, located at 380 W. Washington Ave.

You may have heard about UW's new questionably titled Show and
Blow"" policy, which requires students with a previous ejection or
citation during a football game to blow into a Breathalyzer before
games to prove sobriety. Mess up just once and you'll be blowing
into a tube for the police before kickoff.

Eons ago, early humans had already laid down the ground rules
for what plants should be eaten through painful, occasionally
fatal, trial and error. It was a clumsy stab at the modern
scientific method but it worked, so it doesn't speak much for the
descendants of these survivors that, millennia later, we're still
consuming animals that poison and kill us.

As I biked home, I felt the brain-numbing pain of a snowball
pelting my head and the cold,
oh-so-painful-yet-normal-feeling-of-breaking-headphones. I always
claimed to have a death trap on wheels, and this proved it.

Angela Steckart, a short, blond young woman, walks into Espresso
Royale on a Friday afternoon. With a smile giving off a laid back,
confident aura, she orders a latte and sits down after a long day
of class. Making small talk, she seems only vaguely interested
until the pleasantries give way to her favorite subject. She beams
from ear to ear conversing about her ""hysterical,"" sports-loving
2-year-old son, Callen.

Today is officially the first day of spring, which in Madison is
synonymous with the beginning of demonstration season. Here,
perhaps more than any other city, everyday life involves hearing
the phrase ""let's get high and go to the rally."" Whether it's war
in Iraq, questionable working conditions in third-world countries
or unethical treatment of earthworms, if it's an issue, Madisonians
will march on it.

Election season is upon us once again! Oh yes, it is time to
cast your vote and show the world once and for all that university
students are not to be trifled with. First the election and then
the world! We know what we want and we're going to use our power at
the polls to get it. In fact, we—

It is difficult to assess a film that is not merely incoherent,
but willfully impenetrable—a film that goes beyond sampling art
house surrealism and becomes a straight-up avant-garde affair,
where narrative logic and causality are sacrificed in order to make
seemingly random connections between characters, images and
emotions. David Lynch's most recent film, ""Inland Empire,"" shot
on a midrange digital video camera over the course of
two-and-a-half years, is one of these films.

Four middle-aged, wannabe bikers, Tim Allen, Martin Lawrence,
William H. Macy and John Travolta, embark on a cross-country
journey with no particular plan. In fact, the tagline for the film
is ""a lot can happen on the road to nowhere."" It should actually
be ""road to nowhere."" Half the film is comprised of montage
sequences of b-roll, filler in which the foursome cruise down the
highway to the tune of Foghat's ""Slow Ride"" and then periodically
stop to urinate on the side of the road. The other half of the film
is equally unbearable.

in the world. But suddenly, a foreboding Camry pulls up alongside
him and slowly rolls down its window.

Scientists are known for giving rather ridiculously long names
for rather simple concepts. Teenagers don't have acne. They have
facial pilosebaceous skin lesions. Did your grandfather die from an
acute myocardial infarction, or a simple heart attack? Was the
Chernobyl disaster a simple explosion? Or was it a criticality
accident that caused a power excursion?

Like any split, Blur's 2002 breakup left its share of hurt
feelings and disappointment, but at least chief songwriters Damon
Albarn and Graham Coxon knew precisely which half they each wanted
to take.

Whether it owes its name to the basketball player, bloodthirsty
pirate or character in the legendary arcade game World Heroes 2,
Kidd Lager will kick down the door of your epiglotis with
chocolatey guns blazing.
