Reader of the Day

Allison wasn't a fan of 2005, so she vowed that 2006 would be nothing short of spectacular. In fact, this year has been so fabulous, Allison forgot that she will be graduating in December. She doesn't seem to care that she double-majored in political science and history, any job will suffice, just as long as she can read US Weekly.

The spawn of the ’90s: films that begat evil

Tell me, does this sound familiar? The most popular boy in school has a secret admirer—the quiet dork sitting alone in the lunchroom, eating a ham sandwich, just dreaming of the day he will love her.

She spills milk all over the quiet dork ""on accident"" and laughs with her friends. Mr. Popular is appalled but too conformist to speak up until the end when there's a prom and the quiet dork somehow manages to be crowned queen.

Though the effect seems lessened three years into the current glut of post-punk and new wave-revivalists, when the Rapture debuted with the fantastic Echoes in 2003, their angular, spacious dance-punk seemed, if not entirely unprecedented, at least very far off the beaten path. In subsequent years, no other band has come close to duplicating Echoes' abrasive edge or its weird, manic sex appeal. Consequently, fans rabidly awaiting a follow-up have had their hopes resting squarely on the band's shoulders for a long time.

Prejudice roadblocks world peace

The classic adage, ""It takes two to tango,"" is never more relevant than in the conflicts of the Middle East. The needless name calling and sensitivity of opposing religious groups is childlike, and often leads to unnecessary deaths.
