Kony's Quiet Night

Like any other year, this year's 4/20 was a day to celebrate the use of today's most popular drug: cannibus. But just over a month ago, it was supposed to be a day of widespread activism.

It's Not Over Yet

Sikander Khan has stepped down from his position as treasurer. He's not talking, and for now, at least, there won't be much news on what finally motivated him to resign. A few questions still linger, though.


OPINION

"No Bones about it, He's the Corporate Champion"

Contrary to what many people are saying on Facebook and Twitter, the main event at UFC 145 between former training partners and friends Jon 'Bones' Jones and 'Suga' Rashad Evans was a great fight, a case where tactics played more of a role than blind rage.

Uncle Ted Goes Ballistic

Clearly we are in the "election season lull." That's the time between the primary seasons, when the candidates for U.S. president have been chosen and the actual meat of the campaigns begins.

Nature: Who cares?

The other day my friend told me that she "hates nature." Although this disturbed me and I had to seriously question our friendship, it struck me that maybe she had a legitimate reason.

The Pic and the Dead

On Wednesday, the Los Angeles Times published two controversial photos. In the grand scheme of things, a newspaper makes thousands of photos public without any hitch, but these two photos are different.


OPINION

Axl Rose's No

This was made clear at Saturday's Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction ceremony. Guns N' Roses was forced to perform without Rose after he declined the ceremony invitation.


OPINION

You Know What Happens When You Assume

Have you ever taken one glance at someone and decided that you don't like him or her? You don't have any idea who they are, but instantly you're struck with this uncomfortable pit of hate in your stomach. Why don't you like that person? It doesn't matter - he or she is different from you and you don't like it.


OPINION

"Office Space? I'll take Office Sex, Thanks"

It's just past 5 p.m. and the workday is coming to an end. Students are going back to their dorm rooms or apartments - maybe to spend time with a significant other or relax after a long day. Not you. You hang back, telling everyone that it will be a long night because you have too much work to do. You wait impatiently until you're alone.

Axl Rose's No

As far as I'm concerned, you can't have a true Guns N' Roses reunion without bassist Duff McKagan, drummer Steve Adler, guitarist Slash, and front man Axl Rose in the mix.
