The best show you’re not watching

·

All that matters in television is ratings. There are shows that don’t get a fair shake from their networks because they lack the ability to draw in a certain demographic. They’re usually cancelled when they “underperform,” or worse, dumped into an awful time slot that all but guarantees the shows a slow, painful death. A show currently in this situation is “Friday Night Lights.”

The reason being is that the supposed “party of the people” is unable to package a candidate that exemplifies what the people really want. I urge you to look at the two frontrunners on the Democratic side before you reject this hypothesis.

Bordering on insanity

Immigration is perhaps the United States’ greatest strength, and has been an important part of our history. Immigration has also been an especially significant asset to our university system. Large numbers of foreign professors and students bring both academic, cultural and economic assets to our country, contributing billions of dollars every year to the U.S.
