In the month of December, amidst boughs of holly, chestnuts roasting on an open fire and ABC Family’s 25 Days of Christmas, it’s easy for a Jew to despondently spin his or her dreidel and wish for more. More drama.  More hype.  More stuff.  A fat, jolly, magical mascot who says, “Ho, ho ho,” and gives to all who’ve been good. Instead, Jews must turn to Hanukkah Hero Judah Maccabee, who purged the temple at Mt. Zion of Hellenistic cult paraphernalia, but still takes ... Read More

  He's been called un-American, a socialist and even a terrorist. Angry bloggers have professed their disapproval of President-Elect Barack Obama's foreign policy, one that calls for direct diplomacy with all foreign leaders. But really, Obama's plan will lead to restoration of America's respect throughout the world. Despite his success in the election and across the world, Obama has been criticized on websites across the internet for supportive comments made by the leaders of Iran, Cuba and Venezuela.  Right Pundit, a political blogging site, ...

[poll id="7"] When junior Olivia Sullivan walked out to her car, the first thing she noticed was the horde of cross-country guys. They surrounded her red Isuzu Rodeo, calling her over. Confused, she started to walk. Then she saw it. White paint covering her windshield. Smears of it over her driver’s window. “N---- lover” scrawled on the back window. And her “Obama ‘08” bumper sticker – red and white writing on a blue background – still patriotically stuck to the back of her car. Shocked, ... Read More

The “for sale” sign that was put in Coach Princes yard a week after a loss to Oklahoma has now become a reality. Ron Prince was relieved of his duty as head football coach of Kansas State. A decision that has been looming ever since the downfall during last season, on Nov. 5. Ever since I was born, I have been accused, by my mother, of being “brainwashed” by my dad for my love of Kansas State athletics. My mom’s side of the family ... Read More

No one lets my favorite fan lead the chants. He never gets to sit in the front row, and Metro Sports will never give him the Sonic Fan of the Game award. I don’t think he really minds, though. After all, it’s his job to stay a part of the student body but far enough that he’s still our principal. Never did I think someone outside of a chicken costume, blue face paint or hunting gear— typical cover-ups in the student section— would make ... Read More

Senator Barack Obama is a terrorist. Senator John McCain doesn’t care about rape victims. The information presented about the candidates in the election in speeches, commercials, and the media is always accurate. The above are lies. The election is Nov. 4, and name calling, false sources and accusations are prevalent. While everything may seem accurate on the surface, it’s important for voters to realize that it is their duty to do their own research on the candidates and issues. This is especially true for teens, as ... Read More

Dear KU Fans, It’s been nearly 198 days since “Mario’s Miracle” and KU’s eventual title. But it seems as though for the past five years since coach Bill Self was hired, the Jayhawks have been handling that type of adversity all along. Last year’s team was full of seniors, experience, leadership and playing together as a team. The team was unafraid to fail, and it was what made the season so great. This year’s team is a going to be a totally different story. ... Read More
