Parents' Weekend is the best time to try new eateries. The combination of family time and food, that's not on your dime, is an unstoppable force. This Parent's Weekend, I tried a new hotspot at the Promenade, Pacifico, and the prominent Apollo Grill. So here we have a battle royale, two fine restaurants battling it out until the bitter end: Pacifico vs.

Though I've never liked Keith Olbermann very much, his words two weeks ago concerning the Proposition Eight vote in California were particularly poignant. Simple and subdued, unlike so many of his "Special Comment" segments, Olbermann affirmed what seems, to me, an obvious truth: "This is about the human heart.

In and around the Los Angeles area, 51 Bank of America locations are now accepting credit card applications from illegal immigrants. Applicants do not need a social security number or any credit history to be approved for this new credit card. Recently it has become more common for banks to approve illegal immigrants for checking accounts or even mortgage loans in some situations, but establishing a credit line for them is unprecedented.

"What do we want? Equal rights! When do we want them? Now!" This is what over 100 demonstrators were chanting as they marched down Valley Road last Saturday in an effort to raise awareness about Prop 8.

So, Valentine's Day is right around the corner and you still haven't found that perfect present for your sweetheart? It's quite understandable. Being a full-time student, participating in extra-curricular activities, playing sports and maintaining a part-time job (while all your money is going to books and tuition, by the way) can be difficult to manage.

America still reels from the culture wars: blue state vs. red state, men vs. women, black vs. white, etc. It seems like the preoccupations of our 21st Century society will be identical to those of the 20th Century, yet there seems to be a new era in the gay rights movement.

Since Ivy League student-athletes are not given scholarships, the women's rowing team's edging out of Duke, Iowa and Miami at the Rivanna Romp in Charlottesville, Va., was that much sweeter for coach Michael Lane. Penn was the only non-scholarship school in the race.

I thought it was a bit premature to already be formulating who the new face of the GOP was and who would be the front runner for the Republicans in 2012, but I guess after the stunning electoral defeat we saw just a few weeks ago, it is never too early to start rebuilding your party's image.

For a University that prides itself on research, Penn sure likes making it hard for students to do their due diligence.
Last week, administrators said that the Online Syllabi Initiative won't happen until at least 2010.
Unfortunately, we weren't entirely surprised.

Yes, the Obama election is historic, transformative, and epochal. But don't forget that this was the first election campaign that featured a woman running seriously for president, and another woman running for vice president. Sure, Sarah Palin was an attempt to try and keep white women from voting for Obama - a ploy that crashed and burned in the hills of western Pennsylvania - but it still seems fitting to celebrate some recent strong women's voices, raised here to serenade W.

There are quite a few reasons why Anime, or Japanese animation, is simply better then American Cartoons. A prime example would be their plots.
If you really think about it, when was the last time you watched a cartoon that actually had you thinking about what was going to happen next? The truth is, there probably was never such a time.

The recent presidential election has been talked about to death. However, I need to express how wronged I feel as a Republican. What options do the Republicans have four years from now? Should the red states secede? We could call it "The Market Shall Overcome" States of America.

Politics often make little sense to me.
Case in point: the 2008 election, though a monumental win for one of the most progressive presidents in the history of the country, also ushered in one of the most reactionary propositions ever suggested.
Of course, I'm talking about Proposition Eight, which amended the California state constitution to restrict the definition of marriage to a union between a man and a woman only.
