On March 11, 2014, Machine candidate Hamilton Bloom was elected president of the SGA. Nor was he the only mechanized candidate to do so. Tuesday marked the 100th anniversary of the Machine’s creation,...
Friends, faculty and fellow students of The University of Alabama, I come not to bury Judy Bonner, but to praise her. This is, I will admit, uncommon for me. Those who read this column will know that...
It will shock nobody to learn that America thrives on spectator sports. What may shock people is that our favorite spectator sport is not football, or basketball or even – perish the thought – soccer....
I don’t see box turtles anymore. I used to find them all the time when I was a kid. On rainy summer afternoons they’d come wandering out onto the road from the forest, their shells patterned with...
The University campus woke yesterday morning, as it does most mornings, to a parade of chalking. The majority of these are announcements or advertisements. Occasionally an artist will grace us with a doodle....
On Monday, the very day when Kelly Horwitz filed a brief alleging fraud in the Tuscaloosa municipal elections, we woke to find our residence halls covered in fliers. Each purported to be an announcement...
For those who don’t know, the government shut down Tuesday. You may not have noticed since it does seem to happen a lot these days – but this time it’s for real. According to The New York Times,...
If municipal elections gave prizes for shady behavior, then Aug. 27’s would sweep it like an SGA campaign. And like an SGA campaign, the allegations are already piling up. Greek students allegedly signing...
There are too many people at The University of Alabama. Not the most controversial opinion, I’ll admit. I suspect that the majority of the teeming hordes outside my window share it, which proves that...
Picture a pair of spies who love their country. A man and a woman, patriotic enough to travel to a dangerous land, a place where the police operate with impunity and a madman has come to power. There they...
If you haven’t heard of “Archer” by now, you’ve been living under a rock. With the hit FX show now starting its fourth season, it’s as good a time as any to give the best spy comedy on television...
“Justified” doesn’t immediately seem like the best western on television. Indeed, with its modern setting and modest budget, it doesn’t look much like a western at all. But don’t let the trappings...
To call “Gravity Falls” the best animated comedy currently running may sound extreme. It airs, after all, on Disney Channel, not a place known for the richness of its humor. But for those willing to...
Sloppy. Deeply self indulgent. Fascinatingly trashy. Ladies and gentlemen, it’s “American Horror Story.” The latest show from “Glee” creator Ryan Murphy has a simple set up. Each season, horrible...

There’s only one word that properly sums up the new Nickelodeon series “The Legend of Korra,” and that word is “awesome.” A sequel to the critically acclaimed and wildly popular “Avatar: The...
