Styrofoam Sucks

By Staff

The weathermom sent me a care package, which was nice of course, but the goodies were buried in pieces of my worst enemy: Styrofoam. Nothing sends a shiver up my spine more than Styrofoam.

Welcome to a Nation Divided

By Alec Mouhibian

Among the things that culminated on this Election Day was one of the most impassioned and personal political hate-fests in American history. Last-minute examples included the revelation of Walter Cronkite's long suspecte...

This Angry Dem Speaks Out

By Aaron Tuch

I write because I've heard enough from Neil Visalvanich. His witty and gentle analogies failed before the election and now, more than ever, they look like a pathetic plea for sympathy ("Electoral Heartbreak," Daily Nexus...

The Harsh Realities of a Country Drenched in Red

By Ash Roughani

Mollie Vandor's column "Hold Your Tongue; Looks Can Be Deceiving," (Daily Nexus, Nov. 2) mentioned that men should treat women with respect if we want to hook up with them. Either Mollie has no idea what she is talking a...

By Piper Grant

I am outraged at the Isla Vista Foot Patrol's strategy this Halloween of arresting possible troublemakers before they created serious problems and the way in which the police dealt with the crowds.

There Goes the Sun

By Staff

I hate it when Daylight Savings Time ends and the sun starts setting right after I wake up. If I'm going to ever see the sun, I need to either wake up earlier or change the angle of the sun relative to the earth, and I'm...

Electoral Heartbreak

By Neil Visalvanich

I'm a political junkie and a sports fanatic. I'm also a Democrat who hails from Chicago, which means that since Michael Jordan left the Bulls and since Bill Clinton left the presidency, I've had to cope with a deep and i...

Two Parties Bring Needed Balance to U.S.

By Michael McClarin

Now that the elections are over, we can once again look at our political beliefs in a more rational manner. What does it mean to be a Democrat or a Republican? Well for some, it might be based on the fact that certain in...

We appear to have elected George W. Bush. I guess this means Americans are opposed to terrorism.

A Touchdown on Tape

Well, Halloween and those bastard midterms came and went like a premature ejaculator at a strip club, and that means from here on out it's officially football season.

Unveiling the Inner Racist in All of Us

By Michael Nicolayeff

You wouldn't think it from looking at me, but I am, in fact, half-Asian. This is because my father's side of the family is Russian. You don't think that makes me half-Asian?

Battleground States

By Staff

So the Nexus endorsed John Kerry for president, but I personally disagree. If there's one thing that bugs a weather forecaster, it's unpredictable flip-flopping.

No More Treats, Just More Tricks

By Kevin McFadden

Well, Halloween passed once again. All the good girls dressed up like sluts, and the slutty girls dressed up like, well, sluts. Halloween isn't just an excuse for girls to change into a costume for a night - or weekend.

Hold Your Tounge; Looks Can Be Dangeriously Deceiving

By Mollie Vandor

On Friday night, I was a slutty schoolgirl. Ahhh yes... Halloween descended on Isla Vista. Here's the thing, though - just because we were dressed provocatively does not mean that we were out prowling for penis.
