The controversy surrounding "intelligent design" occasionally pops up in the education system. Since 1999, there has been at least one challenge to evolution each year. Although "intelligent design" advocates want "equal time" for their idea, it is nothing more than an attempt to gain political influence over schools and to insert religion where it does not belong - in a science classroom.

Mayor Charles Caillouet recently presented a plan to revamp Thibodaux by creating a multi-million dollar recreation center and park.
The park, which would be built in three phases, is supposed to include soccer and football fields, a multi-purpose recreation building with basketball courts and exercise rooms as well as a 10-acre pavilion with a fishing pond, water park and skateboarding park, among other things, according to The Daily Comet.

Thank God we have brave and clear-minded legislators like our own Sen. David Vitter.
While we are wasting our time worrying about high gas prices, the home mortgage crisis, the weakening dollar, an endless occupation in Iraq, a failing one in Afghanistan, global warming and another hurricane season - Vitter knows the real threat:
Gay marriage.

It is quite interesting what happens when you put someone's name on a building. Inexplicably, the person for whom the building is named graduates to a level where the more controversial aspects of his or her life seem irrelevant. For instance, when the name John Edgar Hoover appears on a sign in front of the FBI Headquarters, he turns from the father of the first Red Scare into a mystical entity whose example should be followed by new employees at the Department of Justice.

Water, a little humidity and Louisiana-type heat is all you need to make it.
And by "it," I don't mean a dish you would serve your family and friends for Christmas dinner.
"It," is mold.
I received my first e-mail from one of my readers this past weekend.

Gov. Bobby Jindal vetoed legislation Monday to more than double legislators' pay. But he did so for the wrong reason.
Jindal had until July 8 to veto the bill before it became law.
So why now? And for what reason?
Could it have something to do with the recall petition filed Friday against Jindal? Or maybe the few other petitions filed against members of the Legislature? Or could it be the recent resignation of his legislative director?
It certainly wasn't that he felt his signature stamp was getting worn out.

"Toga, toga, toga!" The resounding cries of John Belushi's character in the 1970s comedy "Animal House" seems to be a thought that comes to mind whenever one thinks of the ominous college "Greek life." Right now, future SMU'ers are on campus for tours and AARO sessions, so this is mostly directed at you! Whether or not you are thinking of going through formal recruitment in the spring, there are a few things you should really think about and digest before the start of your fall semester.

This fall, expect plenty of incoming first years to be more tech-savvy than ever. To welcome in the Class of 2012, I put together a list of essential electronics. The average college student will have an iPod, a flat-screen TV, an iPhone or BlackBerry, and most definitely a Facebook account.
