"Now With Delicious Ranch Flavor"

Bin Laden: The New Cut

The terrorist mastermind released a new audio tape last Thursday. However, instead of communicating with the Muslim world, Osama's latest message was aimed at America. The Al-Qaeda leader warned of new attacks being planned on the United States. and offered a conditional "truce." In a not-so-surprising move, President Bush used the message to defend his illegal and unconstitutional wire tapping policy. I, however, do agree with one decision Bush made: He declined bin Laden’s offer of a truce. You cannot negotiate with someone who killed over 2,000 people.

R.I.P. Mideast peace process

The nature of peace the Middle East has always been shaky at best. Now, with the recent victory of Hamas in the Palestinian elections, everything may go straight to hell. Israel has said on several occasions it will not recognize any form of government that includes Hamas. Considering part of Hamas' platform is the complete destruction of the Israeli state, it's a bit like asking the KKK to participate in the Million Man March.

Refund check rampage.

Bringing current events a bit closer to home, Harris Hall became a mass of humanity Wednesday as refund checks were once again issued. Students crammed the halls and the line stretched past the front doors. Luckily there were no riots or serious injuries, proving that students at the University of Arkansas at Monticello can handle themselves better than the average holiday crowd at Wal-Mart.

Some people are just a little SAD.

Certain segments of the population are more likely to be depressed in winter months, and the culprit just may be lack of sunshine. Seasonal Affective Disorder has been popping up all over the news lately. Apparently, the solution is full spectrum lights that resemble the bulbs found in tanning beds. Artificial sunshine for an artificial society.

Must See T.V. (NBC is going to sue me)
"The Colbert Report" (Comedy Central)

Stephen Colbert is great as a conservative news anchor who will not let facts get in the way of his opinions (i.e. Bill O’Reilly). A veteran of "The Daily Show," Colbert brings the wit and biting political commentary he is known for to "The Colbert Report." Colbert gives an egocentric offering of the day's headlines. "The Colbert Report" airs Monday through Thursday at 10:30 central time, right after "The Daily Show."
