Spring is Here?

[ Monday, February 23 ] By: cowtown  —  Leave a Comment

This post was supposed to be all about how springtime has finally arrived in Ohio. A week ago I was talking up and down about how beautiful the weather was and how it just seemed like spring was right around the corner. But everyone who knows me, knows that I would have posted an article […]

Campus Food Happenings

[ Thursday, February 19 ] By: cowtown  —  Leave a Comment

The best kind of news is food news.
You know that new Tim Horton’s I mentioned? (See: Canadian Donuts?) Well, they’re giving away a chance to win free coffee for a year to the first 100 customers at their new South Campus Gateway location alongside Cold Stone. Also, the first 100 customers get a free mug […]

Dear Transportation and Parking…

[ Sunday, February 15 ] By: cowtown  —  Comments (1)

I’m not going to bother writing a disclaimer this time because apparently no one reads them. But I will say that stories about parking, construction, dorms, and switching to semesters are severely overplayed on this campus. But humor me for a couple minutes while I vent on the parking topic.
Screw the heartless bastards at transportation […]

The Cocca Stimulus Package

[ Thursday, February 12 ] By: cowtown  —  Comments (2)

OK folks, here’s what I’m thinking. Get ready for the ultimate financial arm-chair quarterback job.
Disclaimer: I am a journalism major. I have no financial expertise whatsoever. Everything I’m about to propose would only be feasible in the fantasy world that I choose to live in.
So, in case you haven’t heard, they finally passed the $789 billion […]

Canadian Donuts?

[ Wednesday, February 11 ] By: cowtown  —  Comments (1)

I don’t like too many things from Canada. Jim Carey, Mike Meyers and Pamela Anderson pretty much top the list on their best contributions to the world. Other than that, those smug, semi-french socialists just get on my nerves.
Tim Horton’s was pretty much the same way. I saw their commercials, which flaunted their Canadianivity (if […]

The Recession Pt. 3: Generation P

[ Monday, February 09 ] By: cowtown  —  Comments (7)

I don’t know what they’re calling my generation these days. Is it generation X? Y?
Or is it generation P, for pussy?
More and more the general consensus these days is that all of these kids (including myself) just don’t get it. There’s too much coddling and not enough natural selection. There are too many video games […]

The Recession Pt. 2

[ Wednesday, February 04 ] By: cowtown  —  Leave a Comment

For the record, I’ve tried to be as optimistic as possible regarding our economy throughout the past year. I watched CNN when all the analysts were crying that the sky was falling and that within 6 months we’d all be living in cardboard boxes, eating dry ramen noodles. Then I saw the same analysts come on the […]

The Recession Pt. 1

[ Tuesday, February 03 ] By: cowtown  —  Comments (5)

I figured that I owed it to my major to do at least a couple articles that resemble real journalism. Here goes the epic 3-part recession series…
So, I’m scared for my life. When I saw that another bank had been robbed (reported by the Lantern) it raised my eyebrows a bit. When I saw that […]

What an Idiot

[ Sunday, February 01 ] By: cowtown  —  Comments (1)

America’s sweetheart Michael Phelps was photographed taking bong hits at a party.
I’ll give you a minute to let that settle in………..
I don’t smoke marijuana, and I’m not really against anyone else smoking it. But come on man. I might think about not smoking weed if I spent the whole summer with an entire country resting […]
