Americans should focus passion to improve community, country

Editor, I never thought I could be this moved by politics. I never thought I would be moved to donate money to a political campaign. I never thought I would cry at an election speech. I never thought I would wake up with feelings of hope and opportunity because of an election.

Baggin' it up

Bag-maker Fernando Webb knows what makes a good bag, and it isn't big leather tassels. "They seem unnecessary - they just look stupid," Webb said. "And I really can't stand the designer labels like Chanel or Louis Vuitton, where it's their print all over the bag.

A society of Schraders would lack government, infrastructure

Editor, I thought Chuck Hoskins' praise to Don Schrader is absolutely ridiculous. Don Schrader is an overtly gay man who contributes nothing to our society, who intently lives below the U.S. poverty level so he doesn't have to pay taxes to Uncle Sam. He has no medical insurance for himself and walks around 80 percent naked when the weather allows him to do so.

Comical flick succeeds on mischief, sincerity

The movie "Role Models" is clichéd in its comedic-yet-sincere formula. But the sincerity of the characters and dialogue raises this film above typical Hollywood comedy. Paul Rudd and Seann William Scott play Danny Donahue and Wheeler, a duo who drive a truck shaped like a minotaur, campaigning against drugs and promoting an equally bad energy drink, Minotaur.

Public relations quotes are a dime a dozen. But if you're lucky, you'll get a few gems in your time working in the journalism industry. So far, I have about three that I consider golden: "You guys are the experts," Rocky Long said, referring to the media.

Baby boomer administrators are ruining public education

Editor, Bravo! Richard M. Berthold's criticism of President David Schmidly was right on. Unfortunately, Schmidly is just a peon in the scope of mediocre, pit-bull administrators who have been put in place to forward the "new world order" agenda of oppression and fraud.
