AS I DISCUSSED a few weeks ago, the last few decades have seen multiculturalism morph into a bitterly political ideology of the radical left, which defines Western civilization as a uniquely malignant, oppressive and exploitive force in the world.
THE TRANSITION from old to new staff at The Cavalier Daily is going fairly smoothly, with a few bumps along the road.
ALL I CAN say is this: It's about time. On Wednesday, Massachusetts' highest court made an advisory ruling that same-sex couples have the right to marry.
WELCOME home, CBS, to the vast right-wing conspiracy. When liberal activist group MoveOn.org sought to air an anti-Bush advertisement during last Sunday's Super Bowl, the Conservative Bias Syndicate wouldn't stand for it.
The primaries of the past two weeks have brought to national attention what thousands of Kerry supporters have known for months: John Kerry is not only the best this candidate field has to offer, but the best this country has to offer. His experienceserving America in Vietnam and in the United States Senate as well as his strength of character and pragmatic policy ideas makes Kerry the clear choice for Virginia voters next Tuesday. John Kerry is good for this country and great for University students.His well-developed and practical plan deserves attention from any voting college student -- offering scholarships for four years of college education in exchange for two of public service and a college tax credit to cover the cost of tuition each year at a public university, among other initiatives.
HOWARD Dean deserves your vote in the Democratic primary because his interest lies in you. He stands up for what's right even when it's not politically popular.
CONTROL. That's what she wanted all along, and guess what? That's exactly what she got. From the second this past weekend's Super Bowl halftime show began, and the infamous Janet Jackson rose from the underbelly of the mid-field stage, she commanded America's attention in a trademark black leather ensemble -- wiping away the memory of shooting star fireworks, flag-waving patriotism, the sheer boredom that New England and Carolina left on the field in the first half and even the bellowing Beyonce -- who just last week was America's prima Donna.
PRESIDENT George W. Bush is by far the most qualified candidate for the presidency. After graduating from Yale University and voluntarily serving in the Air National Guard, President Bush went on to receive a Master's of Business Administration from Harvard.
VIRGINIANS respectfully disagree when asked what the appropriate role of government should be in their lives.
JOHN EDWARDS is George W. Bush's worst nightmare. He's Southern. He's charismatic. And he's running for President.
EVEN THOUGH he has withdrawn from the race, his organization here at U.Va. wanted to give the readers an opportunity to discover what he stood for, and how he differed from the other candidates. Joe Lieberman may come from Connecticut, but he is in many ways the Southern Democrat the American electorate needs and would vote for.
The other morning I awoke to the sound of a jarring telephone ring and an irritatingly professional voice chirping, "Hello, can I please speak to Whitney?
GEN. WESLEY Clark was making headway as an anti-war moderate until his friend Michael Moore started calling President Bush a "deserter." Last year, the country could have had a principled debate on the war, until MoveOn.org entered the fray with its fringe views.
AS AN AVID Philadelphia Eagles fan, I approached the Super Bowl this year with the same despondency with which Cubs and Red Sox fans approached the World Series.
USUALLY grounds for dismissal from one's job entail lackluster performance or breaking the law -- but enrolling in a school within the same university?
WHILE performing at the half-time show of Sunday's Super Bowl, Justin Timberlake tore away part of Janet Jackson's leather body suit, exposing one of her bare breasts on national television during the most-watched event of the year.
FOR THE first two years of the Bush administration, the consensus in Washington, the media and among the American public in general was that the 2004 Democratic challenger would have little or no chance at capturing the White House.
O NJAN.21, The Cavalier Daily ran a lead editorial, "The center cannot hold," regarding the renovation of the Newcomb Hall Informal Lounge to a diversity center.
WELCOME aboard to the 115th staff of The Cavalier Daily, most of which was elected by its peers just over a week ago. CD elections are pretty fascinating proceedings that demonstrate the enthusiasm and vigor that embodies its typical staffers.
IMAGINE, if you will, that all of a sudden, tabling on the Lawn was illegal. Why? Well, it certainly has nothing to do with anyone disliking the practice; it is simply a new safety measure -- the sidewalks need to be as unobstructed as those in front of a hospital. You might protest these regulations as utterly ludicrous, saying tabling helps a lot of student groups and the sidewalks are already quite safe.
