Obama hysteria worth noticing

By Chris Walker

The hysteria surrounding Sen. Barack Obama is interesting to say the least: Obama is the son of a white mother and an African father, and his potential for being the Democratic candidate for president would make him the first African-American to reach the nomination in either of the two major parties.

My anti-Valentine“s rant

By Joshua McCracken

We live in a culture that feels this dumb need to sell everything back to us. We were sold patriotism for $9.95 after Sept. 11 (you people are idiots by the way), and this week you“re being sold love, probably even as you“re reading this. You are essentially being told that you are not worth anything unless you are paired up.

I disagree. I think that viewpoint is narrow-minded and stupid and I feel the same way about anyone who buys into it. If you don“t have any feeling of self-worth without another person“s genitalia to validate you then you should seek psychiatric help immediately, you should not be looking for a relationship.

WalkinÂ?Â? around the point

By Aaron Matter

It seems in your article that the War Powers Resolution of 1973 is an essential point on which you base your argument.

Here you say that "Congress reasserted its position in war policy by issuing the War Powers Resolution," but it seems it should read that the War Powers Resolution was an �attempt� by Congress to limit the powers of the President.
