Bucknell vs. Relay for Life
For many, Greek Life in college is one of the most memorable parts of their experience. While some of these memories aren’t terribly wholesome, others are. At Bucknell, we have the Plan for Prominence, a program designed to ensure that our Greek System – one of the most thriving of any on college campuses – is doing good while having a good time.

Charlie Crist, the Republican governor of Florida, governed as a populist, and now in his Senate campaign has abandoned all pretenses of conservatism. Crist’s punitive regulation of insurance, embrace of Obama’s failed stimulus, and betrayal of education reform have all harmed Florida. Electing this unprincipled politician to national office would disgrace Florida and endanger America.

Strawberry farmers in Florida are “plowing under” much of their spring crop, responding to market forces conceived in the bitter cold of the past winter. Although the eradication of tasty strawberries has the patrons of Florida charities outraged, farmers have no other option if they are to stay in business. Blame the vagaries of Mother Nature, not the market, for this anomaly.

Despite championing the construction of a high-speed rail between Tampa and Orlando, a stimulus sham which has been repeatedly rejected by Floridians with no lasting benefits and serious costs to state taxpayers, there are still glimmers of hope in Tallahassee. In fact, the Florida legislature is currently considering reforming education and tort law, despite entrenched opposition from liberal special interests. Just as Florida has successfully pioneered low-tax fiscal policy, it is once again championing conservative ideas for some of today’s most troublesome issues.

A storm is brewing in the Sunshine State. With the Floridian economy and state budget on the precipice of pandemonium, the state government is accepting a federal grant to construct a high-speed rail. This rail will not only fail spectacularly, but also create catastrophic costs for taxpayers, thus jeopardizing Florida’s esteemed position as a beacon of low taxes.

Today is yet another day I’m proud to be a Texan. While I’m a strong supporter of Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison in the upcoming primary, her main opponent – current Governor Rick Perry – certainly got points in my book today when he yet again stood against Washington.
Now, this post has nothing to do with the election from this point forward, promise. It’s about butchering American prosperity for failed environmental regulation. Interested now?

Today, the Obama Administration released its $3.76 trillion budget for 2011. The budget’s ugliest features are a $2 trillion tax increase on upper-income taxpayers and businesses, and a $1.56 trillion deficit. This new abomination of tax-spend-borrow waste is less of an actual budget than it is the Christmas list of a spoiled brat.
