Rascal doesn't fall flat

By Kristi Oloffson · Thursday, Oct. 4,2007 12 a.m.

Lucky for Rascal Flatts fans, this time around is a whole lot like the last four times: a consistently solid showing of country crooning and powerful vocals, now with the veteran group's fifth album Still Feels Good.

The nation is preparing for its biggest terrorism exercise ever later this month when three fictional “dirty bombs” go off and cripple transportation arteries in two major U.S. cities and Guam, according to a document obtained by The Associated Press.

(Oxy)morons

By Dave Dawson · Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:15 p.m.

For those of you who don’t know, an oxymoron is a contradicting turn of phrase. These quips are typically celebrated by the same unfunny relatives that thrive on puns, generally ranging from stupid (“military intelligence”) to mildly amusing (“Microsoft Works”).

Move on already

By Tristan Reitz · Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:13 p.m.

If there is one thing we Americans love, it is being outraged. Hand wringing, massive protests and boycotts seem to be the norm, even if it is over nothing. No one knows how to use outrage more to their advantage than politicians, and unfortunately, most of it is manufactured to get votes and divert attention from other more important issues.

Protect the vote!

In 1870, as the country was recovering from the ravages of civil war, the American people ratified the15th Amendment, guaranteeing the rights of all men to vote regardless of ethnicity or previous condition of servitude.

Dollar Bill Pool Butcher

By Matt Peyton · Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:09 p.m.

A headline ran on the Indianapolis Star’s Web page today that read, “Police: Man robs gas station with pool cue, butcher knife.” Now, my first thought was that in listing the weapons used to commit this crime, shouldn’t the butcher knife have been listed before the pool cue? I guess that’s just me being a journalism major, though.

9/11 must be discussed

Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:08 p.m.

I am quite tired of hearing mindless cries from those who wrongly think themselves most qualified to talk about 9/11. The IDS was absolutely not in bad taste to question the official line on 9/11 on its anniversary.

Cooper’s column nothing but advertisement

Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:05 p.m.

Regarding Chase Cooper’s column “Education or Indoctrination,” from Oct. 3, I am forced to wonder why you, the editors, would allow a column-long unpaid advertisement for a film in the IDS.

IU should make the most of Playboy

By Paul Hamilton · Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:03 p.m.

Some might find it racy, and some might think Playboy magazine vulgar and degrading. But are those who say so the same people who sport Playboy tote bags, belly rings, tattoos or those cute little bunny heads on your hip bone to show off the intensity of your tan?

Democrats fighting through different means

Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:02 p.m.

As the president of the IU College Democrats, I would like to respond to the opinion column “War and Peace” that ran Sept.19 in the IDS. The basis of this piece is that Democrats, on both a national and campus level, are not doing anything proactive to end the war in Iraq, and that some may not even be opposed to it.

“Cleaning house” contains errors

Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8:01 p.m.

In reference to your Op-Ed article Tuesday (Oct. 2) in the IDS, “Cleaning House”: The statement that the GPSO was responsible for getting graduate students dental insurance is flat-out wrong.

Cooper new right-wing mouthpiece

Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 8 p.m.

It’s nice to know that the Opinion section is keeping in the tradition of hiring one right-wing mouthpiece every year, and this year it appears to be Chase Cooper.

Would proper grammar kill you?

Wednesday, Oct. 3,2007 7:59 p.m.

At the top of your Opinion page, above a column bewailing the extinction of languages, “The Living Dead,” is a piece attributed to the IDS Editorial Board titled “Judging Jena”.
