\A hitting clinic,"" were the only words Mayor Dave Cieslewicz could find to describe The Daily Cardinal's play in the annual softball game held between the Badger Herald and the Daily Cardinal Friday afternoon at Vilas Park. The Mayor threw out the first pitch and stayed around long enough to see the Herald surrender the first five of 11 runs that the Cardinal scored in route to the 11-2 drubbing.
Do you realize that the best Indiana Jones surrogate seen in recent years is Brendan Fraser? Let's just ponder the ramifications of that for a moment.

\The Ring Two,"" sequel to 2002's ""The Ring,"" proves yet again that sequels usually fall short of their predecessors. Gore Verbinski, the previous director, was replaced by Hideo Nakata, director of the original Japanese phenomenon ""Ringu"" on which the first ""Ring"" was based. Despite a few fear-induced jolts for the audience, Nakata's track record did little to save this film from falling down a well of despair.
A common misconception of math majors involves pocket protectors, a celibate lifestyle and an aversion to physical work. Thankfully, Aaron is different in one of these categories. You see, he is a break dancer, and relishes the chance to \bust a move,"" show his ""phat skillz"" and ""get crunk with it"" just as much as those engineering suckas. And what a fitting pastime for someone who enjoys calculating trajectory paths and crunching numbers. In this case, how many times you got served.

Danner, who has written for The New Yorker, New York Review of Books and Harper's, discussed the Abu Ghraib torture scandal, the subsequent public outrage, and the eventual public apathy on the subject. His lecture was also based on his book, \Torture and Truth: America, Abu Ghraib and the War on Terror.""
Regarding Death Cab for Cutie, there is a vile word lurking in the background of the indie community. While those willing to utter it publicly are fortunately few in number, many more wait in the wings for the right moment to casually let it slip from their lips over a cup of joe at a caf?? or some other hipster hangout. That word is \sellout,"" and there is no more damning word in the indie lexicon.

Professor and partisan provocateur Ward Churchill's highly-anticipated visit to Wisconsin has come and gone. Regardless of the state Assembly's official condemnation, Churchill had his say-and so did many others. Tuesday's convergence of ideologues, activists, members of the media and political opportunists in Whitewater, Wis. seemed to be just another predictable blip on the partisan radar. Yet there is something to learn from this occasion about the nature of American political discourse and Wisconsin's role in forming the agenda. This week's inspiring display of free speech and mutual respect should shine as a beacon of hope in a society that seems to be growing ever more polarized.
Come this fall, Daffy Duck is getting a makeover. To the shock and horror of anyone who watched \Looney Tunes"" as a child, the children's division of Warner Bros. (known as Kids WB) has announced the retooling of six ""Looney Tunes"" characters into a cartoon called ""Loonatics.""
Those who watched the most recent episode of \The Simpsons"" Sunday night may have noticed that it began with a warning that the episode dealt with the issue of gay marriage. Those who didn't see it themselves may have trouble believing it, but take it from me. The station that regularly brings you reality shows which plumb the depths of human imperfection is afraid that you might be offended by a cartoon comedy.

Once again, Grammy time has rolled around-don't get too excited. The Grammy's are traditionally seen as the laughingstock of music award shows. This year the tradition continues as the majority of nominees have not demonstrated the best in what music offers. In the spirit of a homogenized music scene, the Grammy's, much like the MTV award shows, honor bands undeserving of prestigious awards.
This week, a new solution to the Halloween problem may have been found, and it surprisingly doesn't involve putting landmines on the I-90 to keep rowdy visitors away.
How in the world did I get here?
