NYC threats expose Homeland Security
President Bush's No Child Left Behind Act is often criticized for lack of funding. Now you can add the military's recruitment of high school students to what ails the law, coming perilously close to pseudo-draft legislation.
In the Oct. 5 OSafety ReportO it should have stated a student was taken to Erie County Medical Center on Oct. 1 from Capen Hall. The hospitalOs name was incorrect.
While the nation speculated on Bush's pick for the Sandra Day O'Connor vacancy on the U.S. Supreme Court, it should have been obvious who he would choose in the end. Bush is a man who values loyalty to his family above all else, and as the White House and the GOP find themselves overrun with charges of insider cheating and cronyism at every turn, Bush picked his own lawyer, and longtime member of his inner circle, to fill the vacant slot.
To pay for rebuilding the areas devastated by hurricanes Katrina and Rita, conservative House Republicans have proposed "Operation Offset," an effort to find savings in the federal budget. The proposed cuts range from healthcare to foreign aid and federal bureaucracy and total almost $500 billion over 10 years. Republican representatives are now calling on President Bush and Congress to support it. Among the suggestions:
A functioning free press reports on wrongdoing throughout our society, from big bad business and corrupt bureaucrats to drug dealers and domestic abusers. Investigative stories almost always rely on an insider talking to a reporter, oftentimes at steep personal risk, as the Judith Miller jailing fiasco demonstrates. Journalists need to protect these anonymous sources, as they are protected by the first amendment, to ensure they will continue to come forward. When the press faces constraints and roadblocks at every turn, it ceases to be free and falls into the realm of a propagandist, similar to what the old Soviet Union faced.
"I said to the court before I was jailed that I did not believe I was above the law, and that I would have to go to jail because of my principles."
DeLay and other GOP legal issues undermine conservative ideals

It's a pretty face to go with an ugly crime, but the Bush administration finally has an official scapegoat in the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse scandal in Lynndie England. England, who was infamously photographed pointing and smiling with a cigarette dangling from her lips at naked detainees in the Abu Ghraib scandal, became a scapegoat for abuses that occurred within the prison. The Army Reservist was following ambiguous orders and faces nine years in jail for doing so. England was put in a situation that she was ill trained for and her conviction represents the hypocrisy of the Bush Administration. One person is blamed while those in power walk away unscathed.
They still don't have it right.
The Oxford English Dictionary defines gender as the state of being male or female, with reference to social and cultural differences. As UB's fourth annual Gender Week comes to a close, the question that needs to be asked is why Gender Week is geared exclusively towards females and homosexuals. Are there no pressing gender issues affecting heterosexual males that could be addressed?
