That time of the year is upon us again. It's that dreaded week where young adults from all over the country trek to a small plot outside Bushnell to camp out and listen to the live bands at the Cornerstone Festival.
I was minding my own business in the toothpaste aisle of everyone's favorite one-stop-shopping outlet when I suddenly found myself in a conversation with a polite elderly woman.

Buckminster Fuller's history of education demonstrates how the elite of the military-industrial-governmental complex keeps many of us in the dark. When we are in the dark, we can be more easily manipulated without being aware of it.
Fuller's history of specialization in schools and universities shows that the Great Pirates established a land-based home and made someone the Governor.

Another baby boom may be upon us: 17 young girls between the ages of 15 and 17 from Gloucester High School in Gloucester, Mass. are expecting babies this summer after agreeing to become pregnant and raise their children together.
And they are not completely alone - according to the Centers for Disease Control, the number of teenage girls - specifically 15 to 19-year-olds - is on the rise.

I've had the opportunity to talk to some college-graduated persons whom I know from my hometown and most of them have described college as a time for immature high school kids to receive university-level educations, to get involved in student organizations and have fun, and to become more mentally and emotionally mature in their lives.

Two of the June 26 Supreme Court rulings - both decided 5-4, with the same alignment of justices - concerned the Constitution's first two amendments. One ruling benefits Barack Obama by not reviving the dormant debate about gun control. The other embarrasses John McCain by underscoring discordance between his deeds and his promises.

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.

Former President Bill Clinton and Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama recently severed an apparent "silent treatment" that ran strong for the length of the campaign. And in perhaps even bigger news, Hillary Clinton recently stated she has merged paths with her ex-rival.

I remember O-REG. It was my first introduction into the wonderful networking world of Facebook. It was awesome! All my college friends were on there, even ones I had never met, and we used it to coordinate interests and events. We could upload incriminating pictures, talk trash on each others' walls, and all kinds of college-age shenanigans.

Finally, Iowa has joined the ranks. This day could not have come soon enough for me.
Last fall, I had my first truly enjoyable pub experience. The music was fantastic, the company entertaining and the brew a treasure for the palate.
And it wasn't even my 21st birthday.

I am not a tough guy. (Shocking, I know.) I am more the receiver of swirlies and wedgies than the giver, or at least I was when that sort of thing was going on. I was in marching band, I did well on standardized tests; really, there was never a lot of hope that I would amount to much in the badass department.
But I feel like Muhammad Ali or Winston Churchill - see, I even make dorky badass references - compared with congressional Democrats sometimes. What a bunch of wimps.

Politicians are willing to come up with any stupid scheme to take advantage of voters anger over the steadily increasing gas prices.
Senators Clinton and McCain once advocated a "gas tax holiday" over the summer months.
This idea immediately proved to be one of the dumbest ideas ever concocted by any politician.

With the Democratic nomination all but wrapped up, it is time for presidential candidates to start thinking about who they will select as their running mates.
Senator McCain's choice is likely going to be a conservative governor who is somewhat familiar with the economy.

It took 217 years, but the U.S. Supreme Court finally made a decision Thursday about what the ambiguous nightmare we call the Second Amendment means. Yes, owning a gun is an individual right. But, no, your right to pack heat isn't absolute, especially if you want to own an Uzi.

It's that time of the year again, the time when students receive their annual gift from the Board of Regents: a tuition hike. Given inflation, it's an unfortunate reality that tuition may need to be raised over time. But what is uncertain is if the rate of increase over the past few years has been justified.

Something is amiss.
A week and two days has passed since the state of California began issuing marriage licenses to same-sex couples, but the sky is still in place, and generally some shade of blue.
People are still dying and paying taxes, the sun is still rising every day, north is north and south is south and Don Imus is saying stupid things.

If you really wanted to make Barack Obama the next President of the United States, you would go online right now and make a large contribution to Hillary Clinton's campaign.
I'm not certain why this helps Obama, but in a new video posted on HillaryClinton.com, the New York senator asks America to join her in supporting him.

Thank God we've got James Dobson! Seriously, I don't how we'd interpret some of the critical topics of the day without his incredible wisdom, his perfect vision. The Almighty has bestowed upon us the ultimate knowledge and singular authority that is Mr. Dobson, who has obviously been chosen as the vessel for the true meaning of God's wishes.

Valleyfair's unfair policy needs to be revised - again
Valleyfair recently changed its policy on special needs access to rides. Prior to the change, park patrons with special needs (i.e. physical disablilty and mental handicap) were allowed immediate access to rides without having to stand in line.

Pride. Something I am supposed to have, especially in June, it would seem. June is Gay Pride Month. Millions of people across the globe get together to celebrate their sexual orientations. This particular month was chosen because the famous riots at Stonewall Inn took place on June 29, 1969, after a police raid on the LGBT-frequented establishment.
