Common decency

AS THE fallout over Janet Jackson's breast-baring incident at this year's Super Bowl halftime show continues to pile on, one must ask what the big deal really is.

Edwards' only choice

RICHMOND -- With Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., leading in the polls in Virginia and Tennessee several days prior to the primaries, John Edwards, D-N.C., and Gen.

Kerry can carry

FAIRFAX -- Winning an impressive majority yesterday in the Virginia primary, as well as a strong showing in Tennessee, the John Kerry cruiser is all but certain to have a successful return voyage to Boston for the Democratic convention.

A promising solution to the housing crisis

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.


Opinion

Extending benefits beyond the law

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.

Skeletons in Kerry's closet

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.

Honor by degrees

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.

Legalizing equality

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.


Opinion

Intolerant social justice

AS I DISCUSSED a few weeks ago, the last few decades have seen multiculturalism morph into a bitterly political ideology of the radical left, which defines Western civilization as a uniquely malignant, oppressive and exploitive force in the world.

Time for MoveOn to move on

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 nominee for education

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.

Looking out for you

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.

All-American display for Jackson

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.

Four more years of George W.

PRESIDENT George W. Bush is by far the most qualified candidate for the presidency. After graduating from Yale University and voluntarily serving in the Air National Guard, President Bush went on to receive a Master's of Business Administration from Harvard.

Mr. Electable

JOHN EDWARDS is George W. Bush's worst nightmare. He's Southern. He's charismatic. And he's running for President.
