You certainly got my brain flowing in a higher gear Wednesday morning. Your guest column in this esteemed paper was important. Hatred for those with whom you disagree is a terrible thing, this land in which the public square is supposed to be a safe place for free, rational, safe discussion, to have someone violate that, is heinous indeed and worthy of reproach.
In an astonishing turn of events, French first lady Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has been inspired by the “Obama effect” as well, lamenting in an interview with the Journal du Dimanche newspaper that “our prejudices are insidious”.
My mother called me early Tuesday morning. My mother, a 64-year-old white woman from Arkansas and a staunch Hillary Clinton supporter, a woman who grew up in the segregated south, sounded elated and relieved.
Jeff Campbell shoes his readers his views of Republicans after the election.
If one good thing can be said for the Republican Party after the outcome of Tuesday’s election it is this: the GOP has hit rock bottom; they have nowhere to go but up. In the coming months and years, the GOP will begin strategizing for the upcoming 2010 and 2012 elections.
Since the shooting at Virginia Tech, one would hope that universities across the nation would be taking huge measures to prevent another such massacre. The “test” of the university’s alert system Tuesday is evidence that we have a long road ahead of us.

There is a reason why I have never participated in the abortion controversy, either for or against it. I could see the arguments on both sides: I could understand that for some women and girls, an unwanted pregnancy constitutes a terrible burden from which they should be spared.
Today, you, lucky readers, get two editorials for the price of one. A couple of issues were thrown out there for discussion. To start off with, the O’Collegian editorial board members are concerned about the fact that it’s harder to buy beer in this state than vote in an election.
The election is over, and though your candidate might be what OSU advertising professor Roy Kelsey calls a “nonwinner,” that’s no reason to make a rash decision to move to Canada or another foreign country.
I would just like to take a moment and talk about the game Saturday. While the game itself was great, the student attendance was pathetic. To be honest, I was a little embarrassed to be a college student in Boone Pickens Stadium.
Lame name jokes aside, we’re going to throw that four-letter-word out there once again and suggest you go do it. Of course we mean vote.
Last week while sitting in the library, I overheard as a girl lectured her friend on the importance of voting. Their exchange was light on substance, and almost exclusively focused on Sarah Palin. As I attempted to study, I tried to ignore their conversation. However, one statement in particular really stuck with me. “She is so pretty. I just really hope she wins.”
Jeff Campbell shows America the reasons behind youth voting.
While flipping through the channels Wednesday night, I stumbled onto the Barack Obama political message that aired on most of the alphabet soup networks. This was a paid advertisement by the democratic Presidential hopeful. He is probably one of the most charismatic speakers I have ever heard.
Why does this election have to be about race or gender? Why does voting for the person who shares the same values that I have make me a racist? Does having a different stance on abortion, national security, education, taxes, social security, etc. etc. make me a racist?
John McCain will be the next President of the United States and I will tell you why he deserves it. One of the biggest issues between the two candidates is taxes: Obama will only tax those that earn more than $250,000 and McCain will lower all taxes for all hard-working individuals.
Here we are, at the end. And, here, in this moment, I have some suspicions why you, my undecided friend, remain as such. It is possible that in 2000, you voted for George W. Bush. Sure, the economy thrived and job creation soared under President Clinton, but you grew weary of the relentless bickering between left and right, Democrat and Republican.
I’m rather disappointed in the way the logistics of the Ben Stein event were handled. My father and I arrived at Wes Watkins around 7:45 (not early, but not late) only to find people walking to their cars and leaving. I had double checked that it began at 8. I was correct, but the auditorium was full and we were told if you didn’t have VIP passes then you couldn’t enter.

People watch TV and movies, read books, consume alcoholic beverages, and use substances the United States government thinks we shouldn’t be using in an attempt to escape reality. However, I believe there’s a better way to forget about life and the real world for a few hours, and it has become a socially acceptable and arguably fun holiday known as Halloween.
Sounds like OSU is ready to listen. In case you didn’t know, a guy named Ben Stein spoke to a fairly crowded Wes Watkins Center on Monday evening.
I first met Jim Halligan when I took a leadership course he was teaching at OSU. It’s easy to talk about leadership in a vacuum, but I was immediately impressed with the practical and “hands-on” nature of his class.
A “once-in-a-century credit tsunami” is what Alan Greenspan has called the economic crisis that the world is now facing. Greenspan was chairman of the Federal Reserve, America’s central bank, from 1987 to 2006.
