My guess is that when I get to my polling place, I’ll be handed a ballot with “suggested” candidates already [...]]]></description>

Don’t be so shocked.  Back in November, “Obama Babies” were big news.  The theory was, Obama supporters were so thrilled about his victory, they jumped into bed and had [...]]]></description>

My name is Scott Green and I&#8217;m here to help. I&#8217;m an expert on thriving despite not doing anything useful for the length of a senate term, what with being a college student for six years.
Although I&#8217;m writing this in a newspaper, it&#8217;s not an &#8220;open letter.&#8221; (Too much of the advice is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The legislative cocktail hours are a good start, but if President Obama really wants to win over congressmen, he&#8217;ll host White House pot parties.
At least this is the impression I get from &#8220;The Official High Times Pot Smoker&#8217;s Handbook,&#8221; a guide from America&#8217;s premier marijuana-themed magazine/emergency rolling paper. Chronicle Books sent it for free to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was at Grant Park last Tuesday for Barack Obama&#8217;s election night party. It was surreal &#8211; the speech, the election, the strangers bunched so tight against me that we may be married. If I had to use a single word, that word would be &#8220;historic,&#8221; because you can put &#8220;historic&#8221; before any noun and [...]]]></description>

One thing that isn&#8217;t holding me back is my college GPA. I&#8217;d [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s the season when desperate campaigns or excitable media pull some stunt or release information they expect will shock voters into changing their minds. They&#8217;re called [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[When it comes to the Internet, old people have the know-how of squid. I&#8217;m not sure if it&#8217;s because they&#8217;re stuck in their ways or because there aren&#8217;t a lot of web sites dedicated to false teeth, but something about going online leaves them quaking in their Depends.

		<description><![CDATA[At Chicago&#8217;s gay pride parade Sunday afternoon, I saw an outlandish collection of freaks and degenerates, out and proud for something inherently shameful. I&#8217;m talking about the protestors.
Near the end of the parade&#8217;s route on the corner of Pine Grove and Diversey, wooden riot-control barricades and a few disinterested-looking cops surrounded about 20 or 30 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you really wanted to make Barack Obama the next President of the United States, you would go online right now and make a large contribution to Hillary Clinton&#8217;s campaign.
I&#8217;m not certain why this helps Obama, but in a new video posted on HillaryClinton.com, the New York senator asks America to join her in supporting [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that Barack Obama has secured the Democratic nomination for president, his focus can shift to the next major task: Petitioning Microsoft Word to include his name in spell check.
He can also choose a running mate. The Vice Presidency is a prestigious position held only by individuals who can &#8220;balance the ticket,&#8221; which is a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Today&#8217;s topic is how you, an average citizen who just happens to be a major scumbag politician, can avoid public scorn. The simple secret is to come clean before anyone suspects something is wrong. For example, let&#8217;s say you are a United States Congressperson who intends to set fire to the Orphanage For Really Cute [...]]]></description>

Apparently the elections are next Tuesday and Wednesday. So to honor our system of participatory democracy, I am announcing my write-in candidacy for Student Trustee in the spirit [...]]]></description>

I spent Tuesday evening in the Daily Illini newsroom watching election results on CNN and MSNBC, networks I usually pay little mind. We had these channels on because we are a top-tier bastion of journalism, and also because [...]]]></description>

But if, like me, you are too lazy to find out how tall the candidates are, you pretty much have no choice [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I mean no disrespect to Illinois voters when I say that they are idiots. Illinois is the state whose voters, when Abraham Lincoln ran for the senate in 1858, elected the other guy. (This was a mistake because Lincoln was obviously taller.) So it is disturbing that the Illinois presidential primaries were moved from March [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Fall 2007 was a busy semester at the University of Illinois; a lot of very important and historical things happened. If, like me, you didn&#8217;t care about those important and historical things, you probably have no idea what they were. So I went out and did the minimum amount of research I felt I could [...]]]></description>
