The people who fill the elite office of the presidency are limited to two terms; two terms filled with enacting changes and working diligently to solve the world's problems; two terms and then they are supposed to return to their life before the presidency.
One recent morning, I was getting my coffee at the Haley Center coffee shop. I noticed that the guy that works there every morning never gives me a receipt, so this morning I asked for one so I could see my balance. He didn't want to give it to me and showed me my balance on the screen, but I kept after it. I said I wanted my receipt again. He gave it to me finally after he had balled it up...he charged me for a muffin that I didn't order so there was a $7 charge on my card. I then told him I didn't order that and he said, "Oh, oh yeah". He then took my card back to put the money back on it.
Guess what? Harvey Updyke is still making news.
We appreciate anyone of all faiths and beliefs. We think there is no need to hate anyone for being different. Not in the hippie nonsense sort of way, of course, but in the idea that every human deserves respect and the chance to live their life. It would be great if everyone else shared that viewpoint. Then we wouldn't hear about large-scale riots in the Middle East over a film made by bigots; then we wouldn't hear about lunatics protesting funerals. Religious extremism is completely unnecessary. However, using the doctrines of a seemingly benevolent faith as a reason to hate and kill appears to be a popular trend nowadays. Islam is the fastest growing religion in the world. Many struggling nations in the Middle East and North Africa have adopted Islam as a national religion and have even formed governments around the doctrine of the faith. Although this growth scares a lot of people in the West, it really isn't a big deal. Yes, Muslim extremists exist, and their actions are heinous and misguided. Those who participated in the violent protests on Sept. 11 are reactionaries who have no concept of the value of human life. But these people don't represent all Muslims. In fact, they are a small fraction when compared to the number of Muslims worldwide, yet the idea that all Muslims are terrorists seems to be a popular notion in the West. Many have held peaceful protests in response to the inflammatory "Innocence of Muslims" film. Some have even apologized for the horrendous violence of the other protests. The events of Sept. 11, 2001, have been burned into our national memory forever. We've all been negatively affected by that tragedy, and it will be years before we can find any closure or reconciliation--if we find any at all. We do not have the right, however, to use that tragedy as motivation for prejudice. Much like Muslim extremists have no right to murder when they are offended. The lack of respect and tolerance on both sides is astounding. We are falling into the trap of letting ourselves be defined by the idiots among us, like those who think the right of free speech allows them to propagate hate or violence. We could offer a solution, but what could it be? Most of us know there is no reason to hate or kill because of our petty differences--religion, race and nationality are petty differences whether you like it or not. But some of us still feel the need to act like monsters. It's sad that we still have to question our humanity in 2012.
If you have watched our past two games, you know we aren't doing so hot.
In America, we love celebrities. Especially when they screw up.
As football season kicks off this weekend, chances are slim for any trips to the movies. Even if you've devoted your Saturday evening to the television or your trip to Atlanta, there are still two vacant days in the holiday weekend to swing by the nearest theater and catch 'Lawless.'
Downtown Opelika has a not undeserved reputation for niche boutiques with inexplicable hours of operation. Even the proud few who would be interested in antique barber shop appliances or dip-dyeing their pets find themselves facing closed storefronts at 2:30 in the afternoon. Opelika needs some serious help marketing itself as an exciting destination for students. There’s only one way to get the college crowd flocking to the streets of downtown Opelika: the promise of young love. Downtown Auburn has its appeal, but when it comes to sweeping your sweetheart off her feet, Skybar just won’t cut it.
Dear Lane,Recently, my girlfriend has become obsessed with rabbits. While normally this would be OK because they're kind of awesome and cuddly, she's adamant that I get one and take care of it—just so that she can play with it! She has offered to help out with taking care of it, but our schedules are both so busy that I don't think it's a reality. I don't really think I have time to keep any pets (my fish recently died of neglect...). She keeps bugging me about it, but I DON'T WANT A FREAKIN' RABBIT! Lane, what should I do?Sincerely, I don't want to chase a rascally rabbit around my apartment“Dear “I don’t want to chase a rascally rabbit around my apartment,”Relationships are hard to figure out, but there are some key facts to keep in mind. Behind every seemingly innocent comment is a strategic ploy to test your compatibility as a mate. Once you've been in a committed relationship for a while, you start thinking about The Future. Thoughts of The Future typically revolve around building a life together. She watched in horror as you let your poor goldfish, arguably much lower maintenance than a family, wither away from lack of love, so your track record is already pretty poor.Your girlfriend may be insisting that she thinks bunnies are adorable, but underneath the whimsical facade is a much more sinister plan to determine whether you are worthy of her affections. When the great Pat Benatar (and, more recently, Jordin Sparks) sang "Love Is A Battlefield," what they really meant was 'sometimes you have to feign interest in a domesticated house pet as an offensive maneuver.'You should buy that rabbit and, moreover, smother it with affection. Set it up in the most luxurious pet condominium money can buy and get severely offended when she mentions the cage is blocking the door and most of the TV. Sew tiny bunny-sized replicas of your own outfits and dress it each morning to match you. Name it after an ex-girlfriend and gently whisper 'I will always love you' to the rabbit whenever your girlfriend is around. In less than a week, you will have proven yourself as a caregiver and she will have developed a sudden and inexplicable allergy to rabbit dander.
We all like to party, some more than others. Reese Dismukes probably falls into the latter category.
It's practically a sin to say the word 'books' during the beginning of the semester; it's almost like one of those Voldemort kind of things where people would instead prefer you to say 'that-which-must-not-be-purchased.'
The English language has always been evolving, ever since it was first spoken by Angles and various tribes of the British Isles more than 15 centuries ago. Many words that were once considered derogatory have evolved into more positive and even flattering words.
If the struggles of the editorial staff at UGA's student newspaper The Red and Black have taught us anything, it's that we need to have greater respect for our role in the Auburn community.
Every time I type the title "editor-in-chief," I almost feel like I should be typing "leader of the troops" or "General Robert E. Lee." But I don't.
We love working for The Plainsman. It's an experience we will remember for the rest of our lives, especially our experiences from this summer.
We want to take this time to offer our deepest sympathies to our friends and rivals in Tuscaloosa.
