Republicans are crying foul and claiming the ad strives to compare rapists to Republican politicians, which at best is an exaggeration and at worst completely made up.
Leftist politics is an exciting but flawed arena. Though it is essential to learn from the mistakes of the past, we must acknowledge Marx’s continuing relevance in thinking about current events.
The women who watch the show because they believe in the type of contrived, media-hyped romance it promotes are few, and they are as naive as the contestants who go on the show believing they will truly find love. Thankfully, those women are few, too.
We are sure to screw up, embarrass ourselves, get some bad grades, make questionable fashion choices, say things we regret or take classes we hate. The list goes on. But that’s all OK. It is important to remember that your failures are just as valuable as your successes.
Mandela was not who we thought he was; he wasn’t that violent figure that we’d seen in the papers. Nor was he the violent firebrand that some in the ANC wanted him to be.

A fancy trade school, the McIntire School of Commerce is a drain on academia and the liberal arts undergraduate experience at the University.
Students who enter the University as “pre-Comm” and refuse to expand their intellectual horizons beyond the realm of accounting and business would do well to remember that this school was founded on the idea that learning is not a means to an end, but an end in itself.

Yet all of his faults could not prevent 20,000 people from screaming themselves hoarse during the concert.
A French court recently ordered several search engines, including Google and Yahoo, to de-list several known pirating sites from their search results.
Top-down regulation from the government aimed at limiting CEO compensation fails to account for the reasons why we have seen executive salaries rise so quickly in the past few decades.
