The inevitable victory of gay rights

Opinion Editor May 16, 2005

I don't like being on the losing side of an argument or a battle. When I was a youngster, I never believed all that "it's not whether you win or lose, but how you played the game" nonsense. That was, and...

Three quick jabs at my favorite CSU

Opinion Editor May 9, 2005

Three things happened in the past week that have helped me more fully understand the true character of this school, and I truthfully don't like what I see. First, as it's academic advisement season around...

No Child Left Behind a funny case of federalism

Opinion Editor May 5, 2005

It's almost difficult to remember the good ole' days when we knew where the battle lines were in the simplest of terms: Republicans really dug small government and states' rights, and Democrats liked big...

Campuscrats, Progressians and Northridgers

Opinion Editor April 27, 2005

If I have my way, by the end of your reading this column, you'll be using the terms "Campuscrats," "Progressians" and "Northridgers" as if they were second nature. Admittedly, the assimilation of these...

With Benedict XVI, expect Church reform in 2012

Opinion Editor April 21, 2005

The selection of Cardinal Joseph Ratzinger to succeed Pope John Paul II as the Catholic Church's 265th pontiff is quickly becoming one of the most questionable actions ever taken by an oligarchy. The sheer...

Record fundraising year fails to impress

Opinion Editor April 20, 2005

Election commission begins to notice political blogs

Opinion Editor April 13, 2005

The great American conversation over campaign finance reform has gone a bit stale since the Bipartisan Campaign Finance Reform Act went into effect in 2002. That revolutionary reform plan, devised by Sen....

A.S. candidate slates encourage divisiveness

Opinion Editor April 7, 2005

There has been a noticeable lack of campaign advertisements on display around campus for next Tuesday and Wednesday's Associated Students election. I've seen ads for the election itself, where to go, how...

Pro sports loses out to the college game

Opinion Editor March 30, 2005

I don't purport to know a heck of a lot about sports, but anyone can see that the past two weeks of college basketball have been, simply put, amazing. As sports pundits across the backs of newspapers have...

TV show about Iraq just might be a hit

Opinion Editor March 10, 2005

It's been three and a half years since the Sept. 11, 2001, terror attacks, and it's amazing to me that there hasn't been a movie made about it yet. NBC and ABC are both in development of big-time miniseries...

Redistricting is a truly noble effort

Opinion Editor March 2, 2005

Every now and again, a politician steps forward with an idea that has all the makings of an honest, nonpartisan solution to a great American problem. Sen. John McCain and Sen. Russ Feingold got pretty...

Good politics make bad policy for Bush

Opinion Editor February 21, 2005
