Town offers cash bounty to help create more jobs

By Alyson Brodsy · Tuesday, Oct. 24,2006 12:02 a.m.

CHICAGO -- Concerts in the square and fireflies blinking in the night might make the southeastern Illinois town of Fairfield, a picture postcard of small-town America, but such charms haven't been enough to draw new businesses. So city boosters are offering another incentive -- cold hard cash.

By Evan Harris · Monday, Oct. 23,2006 11:41 p.m.

Down by one point with virtually no time remaining, Tampa Bay Buccaneers kicker Matt Bryant was called on to boot a miraculous 62-yard field goal to win the game Sunday against the Philadelphia Eagles.

Online Only: PETA hates animals

By Alyson Brodsy and Tyler James Perry · Monday, Oct. 23,2006 11:38 p.m.

On the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals' Web site, the group proudly claims it has spayed and neutered thousands of pets. PETA claims it is helping end the suffering of hundreds of thousands of cats and dogs by preventing them from reproducing. It seems ironic that an organization that allegedly fights for animal rights is taking away the rights of animals to reproduce. Apparently, PETA hasn't even asked the animals whether or not they wanted to have a sterilization surgery. What if cute little Fluffy wanted to have kittens? So much for carrying on the family name.

A sincere sorry

By Alyson Brodsy and Scott Leadingham · Monday, Oct. 23,2006 11:23 p.m.

It's come to my attention that I'm a raging jerk. Admittedly, this assertion caught me off guard, as I've always considered myself to be kind, gentle and playful. However, after coming to the realization that I'm indeed not a dolphin, I started thinking about all the people I've ever wronged. As it turns out, it's a lengthy list.

Ruckus suckus

By Alyson Brodsy and Kirk Nathanson · Monday, Oct. 23,2006 11:22 p.m.

Try as I might, I just can't seem to avoid the dozens of people on campus who, every day, insist I'd be a happier person if only I would read their flier. Walking from the Sample Gates to Woodburn Hall means I have to navigate a gauntlet of militant loiterers: Spiderman giving away free pizza ("... with each new credit card"), a very tall priest distributing miniature Bibles and an abortion photographer asking me to read over "10 Things a Heathen Should Know About Christ."

Nancy is coming! As I sit here and ponder the notion that my party might be put into the minority for the first time since I was in middle school, that is the one idea that keeps reverberating in my head.
