A defense of politics

By Anna Piontek · Monday, Jan. 28,2008 12:07 a.m.

Over the past few years, I have sensed a growing hostility toward politics by young would-be academics. These people don’t object so much to the study of politics as they do the idea that political debate, as written by opinion columnists, or between presidential hopefuls, is not intellectual debate, but something lower and dumber.

Vote over issues

By Waddel Hamer and Waddell Hamer · Sunday, Jan. 27,2008 9:48 p.m.

America’s favorite playboy, or as some like to call him, America’s first “black president,” Bill Clinton has been all over the news lately. Eight years after his “glorious” presidential term, it appears he is running for office again. I know that some might point out it is his wife who is running.

Gilded age

By Brian J. McFillen · Sunday, Jan. 27,2008 9:40 p.m.

I want to be president. Not because I have a vision for this country, or because I believe in anything, but because the $400,000 annual paycheck would represent a roughly 4,000 percent raise. And you get to live in a swank house. And you get your own stationary.

Second to none

By Nick Wallace · Sunday, Jan. 27,2008 9:36 p.m.

When former Sen. Fred Thompson dropped out of the Republican presidential primary this past Tuesday, I hardly shed tears over his departure from the circle of White House hopefuls. Nonetheless, the death of another second-tier candidate’s campaign does speak to the exclusive nature of the American political scene.

Sunday, Jan. 27,2008 9:31 p.m.

When it was first announced that Alpha Epsilon Pi, an IU fraternity, was being kicked off campus for hazing, public response seemed to be that it was both shocking and unremarkable. Yes, hazing exists and is generally agreed to be bad, but it is safe to say every fraternity has some sort of hazing. It’s like seeing someone pulled over on the side of the road for speeding — everyone breaks the limit, but you’re not accused unless you show flagrant disregard.

Advertisers counting on Super Bowl ads to make up lost revenue

Sunday, Jan. 27,2008 9:04 p.m.

NEW YORK — The story lines are unabashedly goofy. Cavemen invent the wheel to transport a beer cooler made of stone, and a car buyer enlists the help of a tribal warrior in case he needs some extra negotiating leverage at the dealership.
