Last week, President Bush likened his bipartisan panel on weapons of mass destruction intelligence to the Warren Commission.
WITH THE issuing of decisions on who and who will not be on the Lawn last Friday, there are now some jilted third-year students who will be seeking out housing this week. If you know one of these people, wish them good luck.
THINKING back to my eighth-grade civics class, one thing that I clearly remember is the concept of "glittering generalities" -- that is to say, a political statement that is so generic and sounds so good that no one could possibly disagree with it.
THERE'S a lot that Democratic frontrunner John Forbes Kerry doesn't want you to know. Sure, there are those famous initials, the decorated combat tour in Vietnam and 19 years in the United States Senate.
ON SUNDAY, the Honor Committee considered a proposal to remove the seriousness clause from its constitution, which provides that acts of lying, cheating and stealing must meet a certain standard of severity in order to be considered honor offenses.
In their long war against what they see as the encroaching "gay special interest agenda," conservatives have often displayed a visceral aversion to the very recognition of homosexuality itself.

THE TRANSITION from old to new staff at The Cavalier Daily is going fairly smoothly, with a few bumps along the road.
ALL I CAN say is this: It's about time. On Wednesday, Massachusetts' highest court made an advisory ruling that same-sex couples have the right to marry.
WELCOME home, CBS, to the vast right-wing conspiracy. When liberal activist group MoveOn.org sought to air an anti-Bush advertisement during last Sunday's Super Bowl, the Conservative Bias Syndicate wouldn't stand for it.
The primaries of the past two weeks have brought to national attention what thousands of Kerry supporters have known for months: John Kerry is not only the best this candidate field has to offer, but the best this country has to offer. His experienceserving America in Vietnam and in the United States Senate as well as his strength of character and pragmatic policy ideas makes Kerry the clear choice for Virginia voters next Tuesday. John Kerry is good for this country and great for University students.His well-developed and practical plan deserves attention from any voting college student -- offering scholarships for four years of college education in exchange for two of public service and a college tax credit to cover the cost of tuition each year at a public university, among other initiatives.
HOWARD Dean deserves your vote in the Democratic primary because his interest lies in you. He stands up for what's right even when it's not politically popular.
CONTROL. That's what she wanted all along, and guess what? That's exactly what she got. From the second this past weekend's Super Bowl halftime show began, and the infamous Janet Jackson rose from the underbelly of the mid-field stage, she commanded America's attention in a trademark black leather ensemble -- wiping away the memory of shooting star fireworks, flag-waving patriotism, the sheer boredom that New England and Carolina left on the field in the first half and even the bellowing Beyonce -- who just last week was America's prima Donna.

VIRGINIANS respectfully disagree when asked what the appropriate role of government should be in their lives.

EVEN THOUGH he has withdrawn from the race, his organization here at U.Va. wanted to give the readers an opportunity to discover what he stood for, and how he differed from the other candidates. Joe Lieberman may come from Connecticut, but he is in many ways the Southern Democrat the American electorate needs and would vote for.
The other morning I awoke to the sound of a jarring telephone ring and an irritatingly professional voice chirping, "Hello, can I please speak to Whitney?
GEN. WESLEY Clark was making headway as an anti-war moderate until his friend Michael Moore started calling President Bush a "deserter." Last year, the country could have had a principled debate on the war, until MoveOn.org entered the fray with its fringe views.
AS AN AVID Philadelphia Eagles fan, I approached the Super Bowl this year with the same despondency with which Cubs and Red Sox fans approached the World Series.
