End acts of hate

Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:44 p.m.

Little 500 and the week preceding it provided many reasons to celebrate, and thousands of people did so heartily. Most people, though, do not realize that early in the week when the weather was still sunny and warm, and anticipation of the “world’s greatest weekend” was at its strongest, there were members of our community who were targets of a hate crime.

Administration appears confused

Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:43 p.m.

I am disappointed to read that the IUB administration is not fully supportive of The First Nations Educational and Cultural Center. Apparently Native Americans, Native Hawaiians and Alaskan Natives have not been given full administrative support.

Obama is unifying, not 'frightening'

Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:42 p.m.

Of all the misguided, ignorant statements in Justin P. Hill’s April 21 article “The Pretender,” I was most disturbed by the author’s assertion that supporting abortion rights is inherently anti-Christian.

"Nuts and bolts" should come first

By Natalie Sedia · Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:40 p.m.

Together we can

By Johnathan P. Rossing and Jonathan Rossing · Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:37 p.m.

Green is the new blue and red. I did a double take when I saw a commercial featuring Rev. Al Sharpton and Rev. Pat Robertson relaxing together on a couch on a beach. Recently, I paused for a similar commercial featuring Nancy Pelosi, the current Democratic Speaker of the House, and former Republican Speaker Newt Gingrich, smiling together on a couch in front of Capitol Hill.

What can we do?

By Peter Chen · Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:33 p.m.

George Stephanopoulos, respected national political reporter, defended his indefensible April 16 Democratic presidential debate moderating by suggesting that candidates should “expect” almost an hour of trivial and irresponsible hectoring from a political press bent on nabbing “gotcha!” moments. In so doing, Stephanopoulos demonstrates everything wrong with our nation’s journalism and everything we must fix.

Vote Obama

Wednesday, April 23,2008 9:28 p.m.

On May 6, for the first time in a long time, Indiana primary voters will go to the polls to meaningfully vote for a Democratic nominee for president. This choice is not an easy one, as it demands of Democrats a critical question: Should they embrace their past successes, symbolized by the Hillary Clinton campaign, or bet on future gains, as in the youth movement and excitement of Barack Obama?

'Toilet' Boll strikes again

By Chris Pickrell · Wednesday, April 23,2008 6:15 p.m.

In case you didn’t know, Uwe Boll is quite possibly the worst director to exist since, well, the creation of Hollywood. He is hated so much that there is now a petition online to get him to stop making movies
