UC Students Should Demand Full Disclosure

by: MichelleSelesky

Yesterday, I published an article on the University of California protests and why California Should Put Students First. The vote to increase student fees has now passed. This is Part II in my series.

The homepage of the University of California declares:
“The 10 campuses of the University of California open their doors to all who [...]

Democrats Evading Constitutionality Questions on Mandates

The question of the constitutionality of health insurance mandates has turned out to be a slippery one for supporters of the current healthcare reform bill. The Federal Government is undoubtedly wading into uncharted waters by requiring, under threat of fine and imprisonment, that individual Americans purchase a service. At town hall meetings across the country, [...]

BOB DYLAN – “Christmas In The Heart” (CD Review)

No Stars (out of 4 stars)
Label: Sony Music
While sampling through this album, a friend nearby complained “I have a sore throat just listening.” I knew then that I had come across the ultimate “White Elephant” or “Pirate” gift for Christmas 2009: Bob Dylan’s “Christmas in the Heart.” Or as I like to think of it [...]

Did Lou Dobbs Have His Howard Beale Moment?

Did Lou Dobbs Have His Howard Beale Moment?

In 1976, the movie Network was released about an anchorman (no, not Ron Burgundy) who was being dropped because his ratings were sliding into the toilet. The late Peter Finch played Howard Beale who is fired by the fictional UBS network.
That day, Mr. Beale starts his broadcast, like all the others before, only this time, [...]

California Must Put Students First (VIDEO)

On November 19, 2009 at 6:32 pm

When you are a state with a $20 billion deficit, it is completely unreasonable and bordering on insane to increase spending. Add to that 12% unemployment (more like 20% when you count part-time workers and those who have given up looking), and it is even more foolish to raise costs on citizens already being crushed [...]

Meet Jesse Kelly: A Young Conservative Running for Congress

I don’t wear blue blazers. I can’t stand them. They’re banned for my staff as well. No, really…close your eyes and try to picture the stereotypical young conservative…blue blazer, khakis, hair styled into that “southern sweep”…. it’s like we all got together and decided to be Alex P. Keaton clones! It’s pathetic…
My name is Jesse [...]

Interview with Congressman Lee Terry (VIDEO)

I recently had the opportunity to interview U.S. Congressman Lee Terry from Nebraska. He’s been in office since 1999 and since I have never met anyone from nor been to Nebraska, I didn’t know what to expect.
So naturally when I googled him and saw that he had been on the Colbert Report and knew it [...]

The Ladies Room: Pencil It In

On November 16, 2009 at 11:10 am

I am a busy person. Not sure how it got like this - it’s possible that I’m a people-pleaser. Regardless of my motives, I’m just plain busy.  Working, commuting, continued education and, most importantly, my Parcbench column. What was I thinking?
Allow me to add that I do this all without the assistance of a Blackberry. I [...]

NYC to Obama: No You Won’t

On November 15, 2009 at 1:57 am

The Obama administration grossly underestimated the response of the American people in it’s decision to try war-field combatants as common thieves in criminal courts handed down this week by Attorney General Holder. The American people were also not impressed that President Obama ducked responsibility in calling it a “prosecutorial” decision. The American people see the [...]
