It's not supposed to be like this

By Caitlin Cieslik-Miskimen | Nov. 20, 2006

My family's tragic association with Thanksgiving began in 1978. At that Thanksgiving meal, my great-grandfather left the table and disappeared. No one knows if it was the canned cranberry sauce, the turkey, the piles and piles of pie or the fact tha'

Not lovin’ it: ‘Nation’ oozes pretentiousness

By Steven Wishau - The Daily Cardinal and Joe Pudas | Nov. 20, 2006

A lot of people hate Michael Moore, and it's easy to see why: he's obnoxious, grandiose, occasionally belittling and relentlessly obtuse in defending his viewpoints. However, it's these traits that make him a phenomenal showman, or at the very least, a political extremist worth listening to. Billy Wilder once said, ""If you're going to tell the truth, be funny or they will kill you""—wise words to remember when making an overtly political film. Maybe you're not required to be funny, per se, but if you want to convince groups of people to listen to you and/or your actors bitch for two hours, your bitching better be entertaining. Even the legendarily stiff Al Gore pulled this off, enticing droves of people to leave their homes in order to see him lecture about global warming because he and his collaborators didn't forget how to be engaging.

Hearts return, explosively

By Andrew Dambeck and Phil Condon | Nov. 19, 2006

Why is it that it takes a brutal death for some bands or musicians to reach their pinnacle of commercial popularity? Even though the likes of Elvis Presley, Jerry Garcia and Biggie Smalls did their best stuff while living (obviously), why was their deity status solidified only when they kicked the bucket? Although the Exploding Hearts were nowhere near and probably never will be along the lines of those names, they too gained their prominence in the power-pop genre after the tragic overturn of their van during their 2003 tour supporting their first and final release Guitar Romantic. Three of the four band members were killed; the fourth (guitarist Jerry Six) received minor injuries and has since then found a home with a similarly leather clad quartet called Nice Boys.

Winter on the streets

By Steven Wishau - The Daily Cardinal and Adam Riback | Nov. 19, 2006

You pass by them every day on the streets of Madison. The clanking of coins in their plastic cups has become no different than the muffled sound of a campus bus or the echo of police sirens on University Avenue — so normal that no one even notices an'
