Next week my fellow graduates and I will bid farewell to our beloved Otterbein College and move on to a world full of excitement and inadequate medical coverage. But, as my four years as a student come to a close, I've come to realize that while this column has allowed to me say a lot over the years, there's still plenty more that I'd love to get off my chest.
Last month, a Mount Vernon middle-school teacher named John Freshwater received national media attention by refusing to comply with a request by the City School Board to remove a Bible from his desktop. Personally, I find it appalling that Freshwater continues to teach in the district and by looking at the framework of the First Amendment, it's easy to see why Freshwater's claims are both baseless and misdirected.
I have reached a new level of maturity in life. I now realize that it's not the amount of money we spend on a present, but rather the amount of time and thought that goes into a gift that shows our mothers how much we truly care and appreciate them.
Are you a concerned citizen worried about the lack of security at the border? Are you a crazy Lou Dobbs supporter who just doesn't have the time to sit at the Mexico/U.S. border in a lawn chair with binoculars? Well, fear no more, because as of November 2007 you can find peace of mind by joining an amateur border-watching Web site called TechnoPatriots.
Spring has finally sprung and nothing screams the season more than the arrival of the National Hockey League (NHL) play-offs. Securing a 1.1 ratings share, the NHL on NBC averaged fewer viewers than professional bull riding, poker and even bowling in last year's play-offs. Why doesn't America ebrace this fantastic game?
After picking up key wins in Ohio and Texas this month, Sen. Hillary Clinton has cemented her name in history as the first viable female candidate for president of the United States. While Clinton struggles to pave the way for female politicians in the U.S.
A couple of weeks ago I decided to taste some cat food. It's not something that I do often; it's just that I wanted to make sure I was getting the good stuff. Recently, my family cat Clarabelle came to live with me. Apparently, the food she eats is only stocked at a few stores due to the fact that it's dripping with special formulas or something.
It's official. The presidential primary season is heating up. Here's my take on the candidates and where I think we'll stand next November. Hillary Rodham Clinton looked to be the front runner for the Democrats in the early going. But as the race heats up, so does Barack Obama's campaign progress.
A few weeks ago, while I was at work, I encountered a problem that has been popping up a lot lately. As I cleaned up for the night, an old teacher walked in. After extensive efforts to pretend that I didn't see her, I realized that I was cornered. An exchange of pleasantries ensued.
Time magazine recently reported that the national debt is now at a staggering $9.13 trillion, up from $5.7 trillion when President Bush was sworn into office in 2001. Also mentioned in the article was that our national debt not only grows at a rate of $1 million per minute, but it would also take $30,000 from every individual in the United States just to pay it off.
