Spring Break
Warning: A catastrophic implosion is likely to occur to the Democratic Party in the event that Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton steps out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination.
The prognosis seems inevitable as Sen. Clinton's campaign seems to be coming to an end.

Ronaldo Luiz Nazario, the talented soccer player from Brazil, used to make me say "wow" for his stylish moves out on the field but now with his latest scandal, he makes me say "wow" for a completely different reason. Just recently, he was caught in a controversy that includes transvestites, a hotel room and the cops. (0) comments
Given the privilege, the following, or something like it, would be my commencement speech:
Welcome fellow students and their family members and friends. Welcome professors and administrators. Thank you all for everything you've done to help us reach this achievement.

The Supreme Court recently allowed the state of Indiana to continue enforcing a law that requires voter identification to be necessary when citizens place their votes at the polls. However, Democrats argue that it is unconstitutional because it limits people's abilities to vote. Republicans argue that it is necessary to prevent voter fraud. (1) comment
Dead week is supposed to be just that, dead. It is a time for reviews, relaxation and debauchery. It can also be a time to cram an entire semester's workload into a handful of days. Dead week was made for the procrastinators as a way to give them a shot at passing their classes.
However, every year a few professors either finish their lesson plans early or decide to make life "easier" on their students by holding their finals during dead week. Making it not really "dead week" at all.

This is a time of year in which we all are getting eager about what we are going to do with all our free time this summer. Sure, we have jobs, internships and maybe even summer school to take some of our vacation, but the grind is over for a few months. But before we get all crazy with gravity bongs and keg stands, we need to exercise a little common sense. (0) comments
No, this column is not written completely in satire, or trying to be funny - instead, it runs off nothing but cold hard facts about Mr. Limbaugh, and what he has said over the years.
There is evidence and proof below of why Limbaugh is a bigoted, racist, homophobic, non-educated hypocrite. He has no formal education or training in broadcasting, journalism or communications.

Did you go out and vote in the Associated Students Inc. elections last week? Of course you didn't. It didn't matter that there were signs posted all over campus, debates were held and The State Hornet even took the time to interview and endorse candidates - the voter turnout somehow managed to be lower than last year.

When teachers are encouraged to refer to a student's failure as "deferred success," something is amiss. Political correctness has gone too far.
Because of political correctness, we as a society collectively tiptoe around how we really feel about social issues. It's because of political correctness that all Little Leaguers get a trophy and an abortion clinic will never have the slogan, "We bring out the kid in you."

Political correctness - two of the most reviled words in our society's lexicon. It's hip and cool to be anti-PC, like being anti-establishment or wearing a T-shirt featuring some old-school rock band like the Eagles or AC/DC. Everyone says they hate it, but the truth is that it's completely necessary. (2) comments
Editor's note: This is a two-part column. Part two will be available on The State Hornet website Thursday.
I remember riding in the back seat of my mom's car. I said, "Look mommy! What's that afar?" We quickly ordered from the menu and ate happily. I then looked at her again and said, "Can we get more, more, more please?"

The first part of the article addressed in print is a portrait of me as a teen struggling with weight issues and unhealthy eating habits. It's a horrible feeling growing up as the 'fat kid' but the impending effects of continuing such eating habits accompanied with lack of physical exercise is much more lethal. (2) comments
