The United States of America stood together in a time of need. September 11, 2001 is a day that will live in infamy, as thousands lost their lives in a major act of terrorism.
The 82nd Annual Academy Awards began with a…well it began. Former child star, Neil Patrick Harris started the awards show with an out of place song and dance number poking fun at many celebrities.
Recently, I came into work and was speaking with a coworker (I will call him “Joe”) who seemed more tired than usual. So much so, he seemed almost intoxicated, although I knew this was not the case, since he worked two jobs to support his family.
After the ratings war between Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien, the verdict is in and O’Brien is out. The Tonight Show is back with the charismatic, large-chinned host in its regular time slot but the question remains - is it better?
“This is not a Native American issue. This is a human issue.”
The campaign “Shift the Power to the People” has a mission- “to empower people to create sustainable, lasting change in their communities and countries.”
This column was not even supposed to be a column – it was supposed to be a simple news brief forwarding what appears to be an entertaining event put on by the Associated Student Government. However due to the circumstances, I am forced to raise serious questions with regards to this event as well as the general state of Saddleback College’s ASG.
The word “Blue Balls” is a term that has found its home within the Democratic Party. With a Super majority of 60 votes, when you only need 51 to have a majority, it strikes me odd that we have yet to see a bill passed or any progress what so ever come out of this era of “change”. Looking at all that’s happened within the past year under a new president, you’d think Bush was still in office while Cheney helped him pick out what colors should go on the victory banner. The nation is in the largest deficit since the 1930’s depression, an unemployment rate that continues to climb into the double digits, and a president who has a position of power not seen by any democratic president in the last 50 years, and that’s counting good old Clinton.
Going to the pisser during a movie has always been a catch 22. Sure, you come back more relaxed, but at the same time you’ve probably also missed a really good scene. If you’ve ever wished to know which part of a movie you can miss for a bathroom, snack, or make-out session you’re in luck.
"The actual enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress of the United States, and within every subsequent term of 10 years, in such manner as they shall by Law direct," says the Constitution of the United States.
When the citizens of the United States elect a person to represent them in the Congress, they expect them to look out for the people who elected them.
Despite being the shortest month of the year, February 2010 was filled with disaster. Earthquakes in Haiti and Chile and death at the Winter Olympics could not help March get here fast enough.
Hemp is one of the most amazing plants on this planet, and it has remained illegal in the United States for more than 70 years.
During the last election season, California’s Proposition 8 stole the spotlight and took center stage.
Facebook is the new MySpace. Twitter is the new Facebook. Every month or so it seems like a brand new form of social networking is revealed that promises to be the latest and greatest. But the game has truly changed with Chatroulette.
Over half of all Americans are overweight, and a quarter obese. Yet we are one of the most weight obsessed societies in the world. We are addicted to dieting and "watching our weight". Well, it's not going anywhere, at least not right now.
She walked through the doorway not realizing the opposite side would be completely different the next time she passed through. Lighthearted, she is now, but soon a cloud will come over.
It has been almost three months since the Tiger Woods saga began, but the world’s number one golfer finally gave people what they wanted: an apology.
The auction block roars.
Do I here $1,500, $1,600? Sold to the gentlemen with a large wallet and probably no rent check. It is hard to imagine that this ludicrous sentence could even be true, but it is, and it gets worse.
Considering the Disney Corporation’s past year revenue and projected earnings for 2010, the Disney’s management still found it appropriate to deny health coverage to over 2,150 hotel workers in California.
With the issue of gay marriage caught in the court system, gay rights activists are preparing for another battle against the discriminatory ‘Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell’ policy in the military.
If you did not already know, mixed martial arts has and will continue to dominate boxing in combat sports.
Imagine a world where everything is mass produced and electronically enabled. The consumer demands products, so the economy gladly provides in something electronic and futuristic. But what happens when all of the, so called wonderful, mass production finally crosses a line?
It appears former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin has failed to realize that she was the laughing stock of the 2008 presidential campaign.
These days in order to get a decent job that pays good one probably has to have a college education. Unfortunately it is becoming increasingly harder for people to afford going to college.
As the first decade of the new millennium comes to a close, the irony of the board’s legal situation is remarkable. Here we are with a bankrupt state and an American Public that’s not too far behind it and we’re caught up in a debate over prayer at state funded institution. Without even going into situations outside our boarders, it is a bit of a disappointment that legislation has to be spent on such a seemingly clear-cut matter of keeping religion separate from government.
Sometimes you come across people and you can tell they were meant to do the job they are doing. They are brilliant, or funny, exceptionally intelligent, or witty, or skilled, and they make the job look easy. Smooth as silk, like they were born to do it.
A foul, grotesque display of human behavior occurred Tuesday, October 27 in Richmond California.
The Sudan has been fighting though the dilemmas of sky high poverty, food shortage, and unfortunate inter-ethnic rivalry that makes life in the African Nation extremely tough to get by. Not to mention the Darfur Conflict, a region in western Sudan that has been declared a humanitarian crisis due to the pro-government Arab militia’s carrying out a non-Arab ethic cleansing resulting in well over 200,000 fatalities and counting…
Every so often the big movie companies will acquire the rights to some book and bring it to life on the big screen. This will often instill equal parts joy and horror in the fans of the original material. I, however, have been mostly left puzzled over a trend in the last decade to go through this process with children’s books, ranging from Seuss’s How The Grinch Stole Christmas to Maurice Sendak’s Where The Wild Things Are.
Every schoolchild knows that drugs are “bad.” From elementary school upwards, we’ve been constantly reminded that winners don’t use drugs, and that even a momentary lapse in judgment can lead to a lifetime of substance use. Every elementary schooler can tell you about their red wristbands they are supposed to wear during Red Ribbon week, and entire week dedicated to anti-drug messages. We are told by organizations like Red Ribbon that that first drag of pot can not only land you in jail, but that it leads to harder, nastier substances like heroin or cocaine.
