Expelled: The Movie

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Because of social, political, and scientific ramifications, it is nearly impossible to carry on a conversation these days with anyone about evolution and intelligent design. This problem stems mainly from ignorance. Creationists disavow science and cannot be excused.

A Johnny McCain Presidency:

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

I consider myself relatively lucky for this election, as I don't intensely despise the Republican nominee for President, John McCain. Save Ron Paul, had it been Romney, Huckabee(?), Guiliani, or any of the other fools that espoused their hypocritical slime during the Republican primaries, I would probably have turned on the apathy and tuned out the next seven months.

Black and White:

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

With this year's election marking the first time in U.S. history when an African-American is in serious contention for the presidency, it comes as no surprise that the nature of race relations is being reexamined. What wasn't expected is the extent to which pure racism is influencing the nomination of the Democratic candidate.

It's Always a Woman's Choice

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

I am not a "baby person." Unlike puppies, calves, and red pandas (because they look like baby pandas), human babies intimidate and disgust me. Maybe it's the fact that they fester in wombs for three quarters of a year or maybe it's the weird, dependent ball-of-flesh act they've got going on.

Lantern's Op-Ed Authors Inept on Cognitive Reasoning

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Let me preface this article by saying there is a very special place in my heart for Ohio State's official journalistic organ. It's like a crackerjack box- one never knows what surprises lay inside. I was stranded on a CABS bus this past week and, in a desperate search for mental chewing gum, picked up a scrap of Lantern-y goodness and flipped through column after column looking for the grammatical errors that will inevitably appear somewhere between the cut-and-paste articles from the Associated Press and Joe Buckeye.

The Price of Principles

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Several weeks ago emeritus Professor Andrew Oldenquist wrote an editorial in the Columbus Dispatch entitled "Principles Can Be Deadly Ideals." He started off with a quote from an old professor of his, "The first thing a moral or political principle does is kill somebody.

Why We Should Be Conservatives

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

With the Presidential election approaching, Ohio State is beginning to see political interest and campus activism reemerging from three years of dormancy. It seems that absent an inundation of election coverage by the media, the focus of young people is elsewhere; a phenomena which I do not necessarily find worrisome.

Campus Updates

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

This spring, the University has planned many exciting changes that they believe to be great improvements to our wonderful campus. Though the changes may seem small and mundane to you, the University hopes that these planned adjustments will help lure new students to campus and make the world a safer place to live in.

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Spring time is here and in a few short weeks another senior class will graduate from Ohio State. Many seniors use these last few weeks before graduation to wrap up many important things: term papers, finally sealing the deal with that freshman you met at McFadden's teen night and thesis projects.

USG Elections
Not only was the winning USG presidential ticket disqualified for the third year in a row, but these USG elections also had an 85% student non-voting rate. AWESOME.

A big man who played small, underachieved, and underwhelmed.

The Sentinel at the Movies

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

Unlike the elderly, a movie can't just be sent to a nursing home and forgotten about if it stops making sense. For this reason, I take to the field to find out which of Hollywood's bastard children truly deserve your money.

Leatherheads - With the interest of gaining popularity for professional football, the Duluth Bulldogs recruit a college superstar who also happens to be a WWI hero.

The Sentinel's Spring Time Fashion Tips

Thu, 08 May 2008 04:00:00 GMT

DON'T
Wear a shirt when doing physically strenuous activities such as hacky sack or throwing balls (because chicks dig the artificially tanned "bod").
