World tours and terrorism

For a man who has yet to even officially be named his party’s presidential nominee, it is only natural that his actions were seen by many as presumptuous. Numerous critics condemned Obama for undermining the authority of Bush by meeting with foreign leaders. Others questioned why Obama seems to be campaigning for the U.S. presidency in foreign countries. Fox News even lambasted the photograph taken of him playing basketball with troops in Kuwait, pointing out that McCain would not be capable of such a stunt due to his war wounds, which prevent him from raising his arms above his head.

Protest parties

As teens and 20-somethings, we are known the world over for our propensity to protest and generate controversy. In the 1960s, university students all across America rallied against what they saw as an unjust and imperialistic war in Vietnam.

Either way, I read the sports page in the paper for the first time this week.

The case isn't closed

If you are Sampson, this will prove to be exceedingly detrimental to your job prospects in a world where 77 percent of employers now run Internet searches on prospective employees. Of course, these online sources are in addition to the publicity that resulted from the accusations and countless newsprint stories regarding the incident that circulated for months, tarnishing Sampson’s name and reputation.

Comic-Con is now cool

In the past, Comic-Con International, held in San Diego each summer, was known as sort of a geek haven. It was a place where the subject of mainstream’s disdain could feel safe because they were surrounded by their own. Generally, it was simply known as one of the larger conventions for a bunch of geeks to dress up in costumes and get their comics autographed by high-profile scribes.
