Comedienne embraces ‘dented can’ in everyone

By Allison Tyra · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:21 p.m.

With comedy that’s not about health care, philosophy or any other deep topics, Lisa Landry will headline at the Funny Bone Bloomington Comedy Club this weekend. “I don’t take much seriously,” Landry said. “I’m not a political comic; I’m not a topical comic.”

Avoiding $4 gas

By Matthew Gorman · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:12 p.m.

The dollar continues to fall against most major currencies and its decline seems to be gaining momentum as it has fallen against the Euro in six of the last seven trading days as of the close of the markets Monday.  It’s not really shocking that this is happening considering the major steps our government has had to take recently.

We’re not Obama’s team

By Kristi Lafree · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:07 p.m.

Coach Crean is writing a new chapter in the story of IU basketball – a story already filled with the experiences of dedicated Hoosiers such as Wes. Obama doesn’t have a role in this story.

Liberal: A 4-letter word

By Matt Straw · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 9:02 p.m.

I write this as a warning, a cautionary tale for you, but I mean not to scare you: Liberals are all around you, everywhere you go.

TV Surveillance

By Cory Barker · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 8:17 p.m.

With Halloween almost upon us, many of us will be looking for any sort of media that could scare us half to death. But instead of dipping into the DVD collection for your copy of “Let the Right One In” or heading out to see “Paranormal Activity,” stay in and watch television. There are a number of programs this week that will deliver the scares – because they are so bad. I will not suggest a division between live watching and DVR’ing, as 20 minutes of these programs will have you covering your eyes.

Refrain Yourself

By Kelsey McArdle · Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 8:09 p.m.

When I’m sitting in the office at the campus radio station, WIUX, I often anticipate the scuffing sound of the mailman carelessly shoving manila envelopes into the mailbox. The music has finally arrived from labels and promoters across the country, and as the station’s music director, I like to see and hear the newest releases and try to decide what’s going to hit the airwaves.

Science and religion can work together

Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 12 a.m.

Evolutionary biologist Richard Dawkins, in his lecture at IU on Oct. 12, presented a strong and unflinching defense of biological evolution. He also relentlessly attacked religious faith of any kind, particularly Christianity and Islam, calling the biblical book of Genesis “the scribblings of goat herders.” During Dawkins’ talk, Christians outside the auditorium handed out cards insisting that evolution is incompatible with the Bible.

Dawkins and militant atheism

Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 12 a.m.

I pity Richard Dawkins. For all his obvious intellect and achievements, he “lacks one thing.”

Against the hate crimes bill

Wednesday, Oct. 21,2009 12 a.m.

Unlike the Indiana Daily Student’s editorial board (Oct. 16), I am very disappointed in Baron Hill for voting to criminalize thought by supporting the fraudulent “hate crimes” bill that was dishonestly attached to a defense spending authorization.
