Mitt Romney and the War on Women

Steffi Badanes
Blogs Editor

In 2002, Mitt Romney was pro-choice. He strongly believed in protecting women’s rights to choose. Now in 2012, he’s pro-life and carelessly tells America that he plans on “getting rid” of Planned Parenthood and instead give tax breaks to the wealthiest Americans. So the man who once believed in protecting women’s rights now believes that women shouldn’t be able to have access to cancer screenings, pap smears, STD tests/treatments, and other forms of basic health care? He would rather help Americans who need it the least?

10 Things I Love, 10 Things I Hate (pt. 4)

Kate Gilhool
Associate Editor

Love:

1. A little more than two months left of high school for the class of 2012.
2. Opening up iTunes and remembering that you downloaded two hours worth of new tunes that you’ve yet to hear.

Hate:

1. Brushing your teeth and dribbling toothpaste down the front of your shirt.
2. Walking out of ‘Project X’ and realizing that you weren’t actually at the party.

MLB Predictions/Catch up

John Berger
Reporter

We’re about three weeks removed from Opening Day, but the baseball season is still in its infancy. That means we’ve got enough time left to make some predictions.

AL East- New York Yankees. The Yankees didn’t have any big signings over the winter, but they did make a few beneficial moves. The AL East will be very competitive, but the Yankees are the best team. C.C Sabathia anchors the rotation, and Mark Teixera, Curtis Granderson, and Alex Rodriguez are part of a strong lineup. Granderson and Jeter are on fire thus far, each with an OPS over 1.000.

The Buffet Rule

Kristi Gallup
Guest Blogger

The Buffett Rule, proposed by President Obama has created an immense amount of tension leading to the upcoming Presidential election of 2012. The White House specifically stated the definition of the Buffett Rule: “No household making more than $1 million each year should pay a smaller share of their income taxes than a middle class family”. This seems like a reasonable statement, however that is not what President Obama has been encouraging throughout his speeches.

This is literally so sick bro

Gogo Jones

You know it as soon as you wake up; your eyes hurt, the sinuses are packed like conefederate cannons, and your mouth feels like an elmers glue factory. Yeah, you’re sick.

Getting out of bed when your sick is the ultimate feat, as well as stumbling in a daze towards the bathroom. Standing miserably in the shower, you wonder where exactly you went wrong- was it because you didn’t wash your hands after that third period wiz khalifa yesterday? Or perhaps a sip from that seemingly innocent solo cup last weekend? Either way the deed has been done and your immune system is getting spanked like a mischievous English school child.
