The newest agent for global fear is the Large Hadron Collider, or LHC, an atom-smashing, 17-mile-long donut of peril buried deep under the Swiss-French border. (8) comments
The No. 1 fear of college students isn't doing the walk of shame after a night of beer bongs and body shots. No, the real fear is the dreaded freshman 15. (3) comments
The CW update of "90210" made an impact ratings-wise for its premiere, but how else is it impacting our young'ns? The CW update of "90210" made an impact ratings-wise for its premiere, but how else is it impacting our young'ns? (1) comment
It has become the new epidemic -no, it is not AIDS or small pox. The debt of consumers has escalated over the past decades due to credit cards. Are you getting harassing calls from creditors due to late payments? Don't worry. The majority of college students can relate to your crisis. Credit tends to be a tough concept to understand. How does a number determine what you can purchase and how responsible you are as a consumer? (1) comment
It took nearly three months, but the people of California have finally been given a budget they can kinda sorta be OK with. (0) comments
Like most Sacramento State students, I do not ponder the quality of the food choices on campus until I hear frogs in my stomach. At that point, my biggest concern is how close is it and how fast I can eat it. I decided that this year would be different. During the first few weeks of the semester I made a conscious effort to sample more foods on campus. (1) comment
We are not mad enough about not having a state budget for it to make a difference. We may fuss a little bit or shake our head and sigh, but what does that do? Actually take the time to call your local lawmakers and let them know just how pitiful they are. (1) comment
Ladies and gentlemen, I just returned from a business, week-long sojourn in the desert, and let me tell you, dear readers, I have witnessed the American dream in all its splendid multiplicity! (0) comments
There are more than twice as many publicized candidates for the next Jelly Belly flavor than there are for the next president of the United States. Two may be the best number when it comes to an intimate relationship or type of pencil, but two simply is not sufficient when concerning the potential leadership of the strongest nation in the world. The current bicameral system leaves America, a dynamic nation of individuals and free-thinkers, voting based on static and predetermined stances. (2) comments
The 2008 presidential campaign has been a major interest and concern for me, as it should be for any college student with the ability to exercise their right to vote their conscience. (27) comments
Hugo Chavez is a nuisance. However, Chavez cannot be underestimated. Recently, he welcomed some Tu-160's to his country, antiquated fighter jets from Russia, in a half-assed attempt to flex geopolitical muscle while elevating tensions between two old Cold War rivals. What Chavez doesn't understand is that the only worthwhile Russian inventions are AK-47s, Tetris and Siberian Huskies. (1) comment

Music of pretty much all genres has seemed to exponentially decrease in quality over the past few years. Once upon a time, you could turn on the radio and hear a good song. Once upon a time, you could turn on the radio and hear originality. Once upon a time, you could turn on the radio and hear a song that means something. (1) comment
When Howard Stern wants nothing to do with you, you know you have gone too far. Natalie Dylan, who is using a fake name for security purposes, is the latest Sacramento State alumnae to publicly humiliate this university. (7) comments
Words are powerful. Believe me, I get it. I am a journalism major with a capital 'J.' However, to think that in any way, shape or form I could actually literally mean harm upon Sarah Palin is ridiculous. Were you joking with all of these comments and letters? You had to be. No one could really think I would mean that, right? Apparently not. Apparently I need to clarify what I meant. (21) comments
The current dilemma with the California state budget demonstrates how broken Sacramento has become. (1) comment
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to share my concern about the article titled "Palin hardly represents women," which was published in the Sep. 10 edition of the State Hornet. The State Hornet author, Ms. Monasky, wrote, "I hope her dad rapes her and she has to carry that child to term. I bet you she wouldn't. I bet she'd grab a coat hanger herself and take care of it" in regards to Gov. Palin's views on abortion. I believe that Ms. Monasky is trying to assert that if Gov. Palin were in a similar situation, that she might change her beliefs on abortion. I would respect Ms. Monasky more if she were to simply state it, as above, instead of wishing an act of violence upon Gov. Palin. (0) comments
Dear State Hornet: As a faculty member and, moreover, as a human being, it was with great sadness that I read Hillary Geiger and Briana Monasky's attacks on Sarah Palin. (4) comments
As a former opinion writer for The Hornet, I fully and faithfully support Briana Monasky's article, not just because I cannot stand Palin and McCain, but because I value the opportunity to voice one's opinion. I believe censorship undercuts democracy more than any other violation because once people cannot speak their mind without fear of censorship, then what is next? What do I mean by "next"? I do not know, that is what scares me (6) comments
Ladies, do you ever worry about your man cheating on you? Well consider this. (7) comments
Barack Obama might be popular now but he wasn't always the center of attention. He only became senator of Illinois out of default after the Republican nominee Jack Ryan withdrew due to a sex scandal. His speeches may be moving to some but when questioned on his standings he avoids the question and moves on, seeming annoyed. (7) comments
