If there's one thing I have to say about both the Republican and the Democratic candidate in this election, it is that both of them are equally... dreadful. We've seen in the debates in recent weeks that both of them have no desire to work together. They talked over each other, and the debate moderator, and spent more time arguing one miniscule ...

Care, attention bring decision
During a recent outing with my family we ended up discussing the upcoming presidential election. I heard one of them say that the only way we will ever accomplish anything is if Republicans and Democrats work together. Even George Washington himself warned us about dividing into political parties. I dislike talking about politics because it leads ... [Read More…]
Spin doctors for president
I don't pretend to be an expert on politics. I'm pretty ignorant and apathetic like most college students. But I think the reason I'm so disenchanted with it all is because what I want is honesty. Transparency. I want candidates to be utterly truthful to us. And I'm just not seeing that happen. During the debates, several websites fact check what ... [Read More…]
Can’t we all just get along?
I'm not a Democrat. Or Republican. I think politicians are overpaid and don't fulfill their promises. Instead of watching the debates and the candidate's inspirational promotional videos, I prefer to watch the Bad Lip Reading versions of these videos on Youtube. I don't agree with President Obama about a lot of his political agendas and views. I ... [Read More…]
Issues over ‘left’ or ‘right’
Politics is something that we can never escape. It is always around us. Some of us just accept what we hear. Instead of actually looking deeper at the candidates and researching what they believe, we make up our minds on who we are voting for purely on what we hear about them from others. When I was younger I was one of those people. I would ... [Read More…]
Baldness no longer my schoolyard bully
When I was young, I thought I was going to go bald. It started with a conversation I overheard when I was six. My Mom was talking to a lady at church about my hair. I had very impossible, curly hair. "Kids usually lose their curly hair when they get older though," my Mom said. Of course she was referring to the fact that hair loses its curl, but ... [Read More…]
Science proves ‘Jurassic Park’ an impossible dream
Nothing is cooler than dinosaurs. They ruled the planet for millions of years, then, mysteriously, they all died. But they left all of their awesome bones in the desert for us to find and daydream about. As a kid, nothing captured my imagination as much as the movie Jurassic Park. It was the perfect movie. They brought dinosaurs back to life, ... [Read More…]
Apparently, everything is like Facebook
Remember when we tackled that MySpace trailer talking about its new design and such? Well, the next week Facebook decided to release their own commercial, if you can call it that. Coming out just after their announcement of 1 billion active users, it could easily be read as a battle cry to claim the other 5 billion on this planet. Let's start with ... [Read More…]
My whole life is, or at least was it was, on my computer
If my life is on my computer, then this weekend I guess you could say I lost my life. Since my external hard drive was already filled to capacity and my laptop had a broken disk drive, I had been unable to back up my files for months (backing up regularly is good practice, by the way, if you don't already do it). So, when I downloaded a virus that ... [Read More…]
This just in: We don’t cost you tuition money
"Honestly, it would be reasonable to say it costs ACU $800+ per day or more to print the Optimist, a paper that I rarely see students read. Save our tuition money, and simply post it online." This is a Facebook status I woke up to on Thursday. A few problems with this. It costs us about $250 per issue to print the Optimist. Not $800. Also, it ... [Read More…]
