A statement by an Average Joe"" and subsequent response led to a flurry of activity regarding the tax policy of the democratic presidential candidate, U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. The passage, to follow, harkens of socialistic qualities often akin to communist nations of past.
After the 0-4 start in Big Ten play, now comes the real test.
While burglaries are a common crime trend in the Madison area, Madison Police Department public information officer Joel DeSpain said watch bunnies"" putting a stop to them are anything but normal.
How did we get to where we are today? Has some kind of mistake been made, or am I just getting to the age when things make less sense, because I can't help but thinking that absurdity has somehow taken precedence. It is a disbelief - disbelief in what I hear, read, watch and observe about current happenings in our country.
He wakes up each night soaked in sweat, consumed by chills that just won't go away. It's difficult for him to see because his vision is blurred and distorted. He feels slightly short of breath and no matter how much he sleeps, he still feels indescribably exhausted. He reaches out for some type of relief - begging for something to put him out of his misery, but a simple antibiotic won't
UW-Madison custodians stood in the rain Tuesday to picket against a change in their third shift work schedule, implemented in August.
Post Ann Arbor trip, I'm sitting on my couch in my underwear, waiting for Desperate Housewives"" to come on, and feeling completely uninspired and too tired to write anything worth reading. That's about all the energy I have to type right now, reader, as I feel as useless as Charter. But I thought I would share with you something that I read recently that I loved from an new up-coming literary talent. Whitney Newman, one of my best friends, just wrote a poem, documenting our great nights in Madison and the only stable thing in our collegiate lives: post-night out runs to McDonalds for a Large-and-in-Charge Diet Coke, a remedy I am quite sure cures hangovers. So please, dear reader, accept this as a token of my appreciation, and expect bigger and better things from me next week after a quiet weekend in Madison, keeping it low key for the Ohio State game... wink.
A hit television show reaches a certain, crucial point in its lifetime that separates the Seinfelds"" from the ""O.C.s"" - the point which a television program popular with both ratings and critics proves if it has real staying power. A show like ""Seinfeld"" proved so flawless in its execution that it was able to stick around as long as the cast and production crew could stand. Same went for ""Friends,"" resulting in the cast's million-dollar-per-episode last season. ""The O.C."" however, showed amazing promise in its first season but fizzled just as quickly, with a mixed, but overall disappointing last three seasons.
Each election cycle the youth vote gets hyped, yet each cycle its impact proves insignificant. Not since 1972 has more than 50 percent of young adults (defined 18-24) voted in a presidential election. Historically, the youth vote has been the most under-represented of any demographic in national elections. For perspective, young adults constituted 13 percent of the total voting-age citizen population in 2004, but made up only 9 percent of the voting population. In comparison, adults 55 and older composed 31 percent of the voting-age citizen population, but were 35 percent of the population that voted in the presidential election. Many factors have played into this under-representation; the most important difference being registration. Again, in 2004, 79 percent of citizens over 55 were registered to vote, compared to 58 percent of young adults. This is yet another reason why the recent Montgomery County Registrar's misleading warning sent to Virginia Tech students about false registration difficulties was so disconcerting, since registration has a high correlation with voting (in 2004, 89 percent of registered voters reported they voted). Since 1964, the percentage of young adults voting has decreased markedly, from 50.9 percent in 1964 to 32.3 percent in 2000 (with 1992 being the only anomaly, where voting increased to 42.8 percent from 36.2 percent in 1988, only to fall again to 32.4 percent in 1996).
I didn't wake up intending to fight. Some warriors say it is in their blood, but none want it in their cup of morning coffee.
Guess where I'm sitting right now, writing this column? Yeah, that's me, hunched over the computer on the third floor of College Library, nearly crying due to my recent misfortune. The computer lab is largely empty because it's still syllabus week, and only serious people with serious majors are thinking about serious things like term papers. Unless you're like me and are in big trouble and you're seriously thinking about being robbed - because you have been.
Ohio State was up 26-0 midway through the third quarter against perennial punching bag Youngstown State, just three yards away from bumping the lead up to 33-0, when junior running back Beanie Wells collapsed and fumbled, clutching his foot. Whether Wells should have been in the game or not is a different debate, but what is clear is the Buckeyes just got worse at the worst time - they play Southern Cal on Sept. 13th. Granted, Wells could play with an injured foot, but he won't be himself. If Wells is out longer than a few weeks, this garbage-time injury could prove devastating for the Buckeyes, whose national title hopes are now in peril.
Change. That is a word we have been hearing a lot lately, especially in regards to the upcoming presidential election. It is a word that is normally associated with Democratic Presidential nominee Barack Obama, though it can also be used to describe what is happening to the political climate at this university. When I stepped on campus almost two years ago to the day, I was warned by everyone from my grandmother to the Badger Buddies that helped me move in, that this campus proudly considered itself the Berkeley of the Midwest."" While I found this to be somewhat true - most students and professors are far-left on the political spectrum - I also found a group that not only accepted my political views, they embraced them. I found the College Republicans.
No. 11 Wisconsin showcased its rushing prowess against Akron Saturday, as P.J. Hill, Zach Brown and John Clay each surpassed the Zips' total yards on the ground. The trio accumulated 404 total yards and four touchdowns while Hill broke the 200-yard mark for the second time in his career.
Certain years tend to stand out in the annals of history more so than others. 2008 might be shaping into such a year: the Chinese superpower is here and now; we have an important election year and a presidential candidate that is breaking historical molds; we also have economic, domestic and foreign policy issues the likes of which we haven't seen in 50-plus years; and on campus, a new chancellor is beginning her term on shaky political and financial ground.
Each day, Carli Morgan wakes up to a sweeping view of downtown Madison from the window of her eighth-floor apartment.
