Why is it so shocking that about $150,000 has been spent on clothing for Sarah Palin and her family Anyone who seriously thinks that politicians are not willing to shell out a pretty penny to present a specific image is gravely mistaken.

Ahh, the sweet smell of anarchy burning through the U.S. economy. It is enough to make a person want to strip naked, brand himself or herself with crucifixes and run wildly through the streets screeching warnings about the coming of the apocalypse.

For three summers, I have been flying home to Alaska at the end of spring semester, and for three falls, I have returned to Arizona State University to see an explosion of new buildings across the terrain.

When a person needs answers, what better place to turn than Wikipedia? The site does not receive the credit it deserves.

The four-year college degree is practically a thing of the past. In a nation where things are becoming faster and more efficient by the second, why is it actually taking longer to achieve a bachelor's degree? Shouldn't our country's education system be growing increasingly effective and accelerated along with our technology?

Itchy, watery eyes? Sore throat? Gooey boogers running down your face? These symptoms mean one of two things: Either you've contracted a combo of pinkeye, gonorrhea, and Ebola virus, or, far worse, you are one of millions who suffer from seasonal allergies.

"Oh. My. God," Ashley said out loud to herself as she scanned the Facebook feed that glowed ominously in front of her face, greeting her with tidbits about the digital lives of her dearest acquaintances, friends and "frenemies."

Welcome to February, the most exceptional month of the year. As Black History Month, it is socially and historically significant, but it is also one big bundle of anomalies.

Anthony and other female revolutionaries of the past and present would be so proud.

There is one question that dominates the life of a college student until the day she struts down the graduation stage in a ridiculously ugly muumuu and square hat to snatch up the piece of paper that will be the platform for all her future success. We have all heard and asked this question numerous times — unless you live in a soundproof bubble. The ominous inquiry I refer to is: "What's your major?"

Finals are closing in faster than Armageddon, which means it is time to strap on an espresso IV and work yourself into a caffeine-induced frenzy.

The average American watches six hours of TV a day, and I cannot say that I blame them. TV has improved by leaps and bounds in the last decade. So much so that it is starting to surpass movies in quality of production and writing. Why pay $9.50 to see "Bee Movie" when you can plop down on the couch with a bag of popcorn and some sour patch kids and watch "Heroes?" Not only is it cheaper, but you can do it in just your socks without getting arrested or getting gum stuck to the bottoms of your favorite pair of knee-highs.

The Alaska Zoo has had a shady past when it comes to the safety of both its visitors and its inhabitants. In the early '90s, a tourist lost her leg to one of our polar bears when she climbed partially into the cage for a close-up photo. There is a famous Alaskan photo of the polar bear walking around with her tennis shoe in its mouth. On another occasion, two drunk guys decided to go for a swim in the polar bears' pool and, naturally, were mauled. They survived the attack, but not without a number of lasting marks.

In the United States, we value our freedom and fight to protect ourselves from the ever-watching eye of a Big Brother-esque figure. Ironically, though, we choose to constantly carry personal tracking devices with us. The cell phones glued to our fingertips keep us perpetually connected to anyone and everything. It brings a strange sense of security to know that you can be reached at anytime, whether it is an emergency or just your roommate wanting to know if you ate their leftover Taco Bell, which you probably did.

I hate that people feel pressured enough to look a certain way that they would go through surgery to change their appearance, but I respect a person's right to do what they want with their body. That said, I discovered the most desperate and disturbing Web site this weekend that is both hilarious and terrifying to me. Let me put it this way, if it was a joke, it would be an endless source of knee-slappers, but its not. The Web site I refer to is called MyFreeImplants.com. Some of you may have heard of it since SPM wrote about it a couple weeks ago. I am here to provide a little more random coverage and to share with you some of the opportunities offered by this site.

Earlier this week, Thad Starr of Pleasant Hill, Ore., set a record at the Half Moon Bay Pumpkin Festival with his 1,524 lb. gourd. The enormous pumpkin, rivaled in mass only by Jay Leno's head (and flat on one side just like Jay), sold for $6 a pound, coming out to $9,144. That's a whole lot of pie. I can imagine how excited the lucky kid must be who gets to gut that pumpkin with a backhoe and turn in into the world's largest and scariest Jay-o-lantern. They could even make it a glowing orange fort.
