My brother got cut off while going to work yesterday by a car that was in the left lane and apparently needed to turn right. Normally, my brother would just slam on his brakes and lay on his horn. But my brother rides a motorcycle, so this was not a normal situation. This time, when he was cut off by a guy who wasn’t paying attention to what he was doing while operating...

Your employer might ask you for your Facebook password when you graduate and eventually get a job, just so you know. I found out this information, and I couldn’t believe it. There’s no reason for them to get my password, I thought. If my profile has decent privacy settings and none of my posts are visible unless you’re friends with me, why should my employer need...
The Wednesday edition of The Daily Mississippian incorrectly stated the Oxford University Transit bus hours. Starting in the fall of 2013, the OUT bus hours will be extended from 7 a.m. — 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. — 9 p.m. Yesterday’s column, “Our lives are a cartoon,” by Alexandra Williamson, incorrectly stated the country’s debt. Currently, the country’s debt is...
There’s a lot to catch up on since we finished finals last year. Gun control is once again a hot topic of conversation, and it looks like Obama has that handled with his 23 Executive Strongly Worded Letters to Congress. We totally dealt with that fiscal cliff problem by, instead of driving right off of it, driving around in circles for a moment before we continued back...
I love it for many reasons. I love it because it helps me expand my knowledge of others’ opinions, I love it because it helps me understand the arguments for and against my own opinions, and I love it because it opens my mind to opinions different from my own and from those of my friends. I am an avid reader of Reason magazine, an unabashedly libertarian magazine...
I mean, really though, who didn’t laugh at Joe Biden’s derisive reactions during the vice presidential debates? Probably Republicans, now that I think about it, but if you’re not a Republican, I bet you were having a grand time. When Obama or Romney make snarky remarks to each other, my friends and I start laughing because we’ve finally got a glimpse...
Don’t worry, so is mine. I’m registered in Texas, which will go hands down for Romney. The only reason I bothered to request an absentee ballot is because I like voting. I’ll still vote for Gary Johnson, and I’ll do my research on the candidates for the other offices, but really, my vote would not be missed were I not to cast it. I can’t even tell you that there’s...
“The Houston Police Department places the highest value on human life, and events like these are tragic and unfortunate for everyone involved.” This is what the chief of the Houston Police Department in Texas said after one of his officers shot and killed a schizophrenic, wheelchair-bound double-amputee on Monday. The man had impressively cornered the offending...
This is a sensitive issue, I’m quite aware. Native Ole Miss students are hypersensitive to out-of-state students who have not been lifelong Ole Miss fans and have allegiances to more than one football team. I, having grown up in New Orleans to an LSU alum, hold dual fandom and have been called a traitor for even suggesting that I like LSU. Please refrain from tweeting...
