This isn’t going to be one of those bitter tirades against Wal-Mart. If you’re looking for angry rants about the evils of corporate America, then pick up almost any newspaper or magazine on any given day. Cities and towns across the nation constantly make headlines by attempting to prevent the building of another Wal-Mart.
'Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers'
Congratulations on the excellent story in Monday’s Mustang Daily by Patrick Molnar about mercenaries in Iraq. To find out more about this situation, readers may be interested in seeing the headline-making film by Robert Greenwald, “Iraq for Sale: The War Profiteers.
Democratic House would fulfill American Dream
It appears that Matt Bushman has become as disconnected to reality as the president his last name pays homage to. He appears to believe that choosing Democrats to lead the House of Representatives is “stagnation,” while retaining the absolute disaster that is the Republican House leadership would qualify as “progress toward the American Dream.
Don't ride into the danger zone
Over the course of our acquaintance, every single one of my close male friends has found themselves at some point or another in a place I shall henceforth deem “the danger zone.”
This has nothing to do with Tom Cruise in aviator sunglasses. In fact, a “Top Gun” runway with a fighter jet hurtling toward you at 180 to 200 mph might even be safer than the zone I refer to.
Politically correct revolution forced manly men to extinction
While the ever prevailing image of the “plaid-clad,” mustachioed brawny man may be gone (as he has “cleaned up his act” since the late ’90s), manly men still exist. Where did they go? They were forced out of society. They were nearly rendered extinct by politically correct thugs.
The Greenest Governator?
In the heat of the upcoming midterm election, it appears political propaganda is omnipresent. The left and right have become so polarized and inundated with taxes, the war and sex scandals that many important issues such as environmental policy are frequently overlooked.
How to Survive: Boring classes
As far as college goes, boring classes are the bane of a student’s existence. When the last thing you want to do is go to classes, a boring course seems like the biggest waste of time ever.
There are usually three reasons why a certain class is unentertaining.
Where have all the manly men gone?
Long gone are the days of plaid-clad lumberjacks and truck drivers. The extinct breed of manly men has since been replaced by squeaky-clean pretty boys and finely groomed so-called “metrosexuals.”
During the brief two decades of my life, I have watched the disappearance of an era that once idolized the brawny, mustached detective, Magnum P.
Real women (and men) have curves
In our society, weight is a sensitive issue. People are not comfortable with their bodies or size. That is a widely accepted concept.
All body types are great. The problem I have with our society is the inability to accept our sizes. I don’t understand how a person who wears a size 13 jean can buy a size nine and comfortably wear them.
Get your freak on at the next fire drill
Did anyone hear about the rave Cerro Vista Apartments threw last Wednesday, Oct. 18? It started a little earlier than I am used to, but I still loved it. It came complete with strobe lights, loud sounds and cops. Even the fire department showed up! The timing was a little unfortunate however; I was in the middle of studying for midterms.
How to Pick a Wingman
Batman has Robin. Woody has Buzz Lightyear. Johnny Carson had Ed McMahon. To each man, their counterpart was not just there to fight crime, fight for stuffed animal rights, or to yell ridiculously loud but they were there for one other reason: to be the wingman.
