In last week’s issue, many of the stories did not take place in Kingsville. There was no huge fire that obliterated someone’s car and land. Nor is there a hat maker here in Kingsville. Maybe there is, and that person’s just kind of underground. I should look into hat makers here. Anyway, just so everyone’s clear: Our sports editor, Colton ... Read More »
I find myself in a 15 passenger van, and it’s barely handling 10. Our driver, my instructor, Don Fish- er, just flew past a cement truck, blaring the van’s meager horn the entire time. The poor truck had the audacity to ex- ist on the same stretch of road we were currently occupying, and Fisher wasn’t about to be having ... Read More »
Ok, I don’t know about the other la- dies here on campus, but I have been having a few issues with men lately. Being single, I have come across inter- ested fellows that have turned out to be quite creepy instead of chivalrous. I don’t mean a guy in a trench coat is following me everywhere I go, or watching ... Read More »
I’m curious: Can’t a holiday just be about a bunny giving away colored eggs and chocolate, not a millennia long grudge match between paganism and christianity? Atheists tend to get unbelievably smug and all-knowing around the holidays. It’s not our normal state of being, honest. Some of us just love to point out that this holiday actually originated from that ... Read More »

Hay términos como carpeta y vacumear que en realidad no se pronuncie así, pero la mayoría de la gente lo dice porque están creando un lenguaje hibrido para poder comunicarse en Español e Inglés; Spanglish o Espanglish. El término correcto es aspirar y alfombra. El Spanglish es una práctica lingüística de los hispanos en Estados Unidos que no deja a ... Read More »
On March 8, 2013, the William B. Travis “Victory or Death” Letter will return to Austin. In its 13-day stay at the Alamo, this faded 177-year-old letter touched the lives of tens of thousands of Texans – and non-Texans – from around the world. Old and young waited up to five hours in the morning chill and blazing afternoon sun. ... Read More »
“R U Single?” queries a banner ad at the top of the page. Another asks whether I’d like a certain aspect of my anatomy to be more impressive to the opposite gender. Those are quickly stifled when a popup appears to remind me of the relative inexpensiveness of the McDonalds Big Mac compared to a Subway sandwich. To be honest, ... Read More »
And in the 1930s, President Roosevelt looked at our country and said, “I need a way for agribusinesses to supplement their income and manage the supply and pricing of certain commodities to alleviate the effects of the great depression.” So the U.S. made a farm subsidy. Years passed and the great depression ended, but our government said, “Even though the ... Read More »
