At Chicago's gay pride parade Sunday afternoon, I saw an outlandish collection of freaks and degenerates, out and proud for something inherently shameful. I'm talking about the protestors.
Near the end of the parade's route on the corner of Pine Grove and Diversey, wooden riot-control barricades and a few disinterested-looking cops surrounded about 20 or 30 fundamentalist Christians.

It would be completely wrong to say that Pixar Animation Studios has done it again with their latest flick "Wall-E." It still wouldn't be enough to describe the film as a milestone that completely transcends any animated reel of the past. Words are often a good weapon.

Easier said than done for the Coralville native/turned NFL star when one mulls over his résumé.
He was All-State and All-Conference in football at Iowa City West High, where he holds a handful of state records that still stand today. He owns five Hawkeye football records and is Iowa and the Big Ten Conference's all-time leading scorer.

Fuller's history of specialization in schools and universities shows that the Great Pirates established a land-based home and made someone the Governor.
