Fast food considers its surrealism.

Triumph of Meatwad

If one were to take everything arbitrary and random and disgusting in this world and put it into a cracked-out late-night TV series, one would come up with something called "Aqua Teen Hunger Force."

Around the World

·

The U.S. military faced complaints Tuesday from its Sunni allies over claims that more civilians had been killed by American forces – amplifying tensions as the Pentagon tries to calm anger over an airstrike last week that claimed innocent lives. The disputes have further strained ties with anti-al-Qaida fighters considered crucial in turning the tide against extremist violence.

Super illusion

·

American democracy is an illusion. Before this country continues to force-feed democracy to the far corners of the earth, we’d do well to evaluate our own sketchy democratic process.

I heart hearts

·

Instead of the usual warnings about the end of American democracy and what not, I thought I’d turn my eye this week to a concern of equal importance — the use of “heart” as a verb.

Super Super Bowl coverage?

·

When it comes to Super Bowl Sunday, everyone knows there’s a lot more going on than just the game. For the entire event to be an overwhelming success, most people — diehard football fans and non-fans alike — agree that the usually star-studded commercials must be pretty creative.

University fails environment

·

Several recent IDS articles highlight a media trend by discussing problems caused by climate change and potential remedies, instead of debating the phenomenon’s existence. This development represents a change that has taken place in the minds of Indiana undergraduates.

Support local food markets

According to a Jan. 30 article in the Notre Dame Observer, the University of Notre Dame has become yet another in the rising tide of colleges

Endorsements don’t affect vote

·

I am writing a response to the Editorial Board’s piece titled “Rock(y) the Vote” from Feb. 1. I agree that celebrity endorsements are not that important, but I think that you missed an important point, and also gave too much credit to these public announcements. First of all, to say that

Where’s the beef?

·

With the campaign season in full swing and economic woes about the nation, our nation’s leaders once again attempt to bring us into line with their initiatives using creative phrasings, silly monikers and allusions to the unproven.

Chase needs a new job

·

How is Chase Cooper the opinion editor? He never cites his sources and frequently doesn’t get his facts right. In his Jan. 29 column (“Keep the change”) he said that half of the adults in the U.S. would not vote for Hillary

Real obscenities

·

I find it odd that IU Athletic Director Rick Greenspan is ready to call up the IDS and harp on the students for chanting obscenities, but couldn’t be bothered a few

Bigotry works both ways

·

Anna Piontek’s recent article “Indiana Bigotry” (Feb. 4) is mere rhetoric. Laws that prohibit gay marriage do not violate the separation of church and state and are not hateful. In fact, Anna’s own criticism of

Remembering Dr. Katz

·

I was saddened to hear about the death of Dr. Irving Katz on Jan. 24, 2008. Dr. Katz meant a lot to me. I had the pleasure of taking five of his history courses, including American Jewish History. He more than held my interest. Each of his lectures was more like story time rather th

Photographers deserve respect

·

Your Jan. 31 article “Photography Club Exhibition to Open” describing the Bloomington Photography Club exhibit that is scheduled to open at the John Waldron Arts Center Feb. 1, struck a chord with some local

Stand for something

·

I talk about politics a lot. Many people assume that it is my sole passion to follow politics; in reality, it is not. I enjoy politics and am proud of the work I do.
