Put Doggie Couture Out of its Misery

When I look into the eyes of a dog dressed in a princess outfit complete with tiara and who calls Paris Hilton's handbag a home, all I can think of is how desperately that animal must seek the sweet embrace of death. Sure, it is supremely groomed and fed on a budget the common working-class citizen cannot make in a year, but money never brings happiness. A dressed pooch is essentially the most miserable breed of dog. Finally, our British friends across the pond are setting an excellent example for how to conduct ourselves.

Braking on the Gas Tax

When I went to the used car lot with my parents, gas was shooting well beyond $3 per gallon. To fill up a tank cost the equivalent of going to the movies seven times. I told my parents I wanted something with good handling and low gas mileage; they bought me an SUV.

Diary of a Mad UCI Biker: The Ups and Downs of Being a Campus Cyclist

Irvine Planeteers: I belong to a small, elite club. There might be six of us on campus, or at least it seems that way. We are a rare breed in this region and few people have had the pleasure of seeing us in person. I am a UC Irvine biker.

Prop 2: Standards for Confining Farm Animals—PRO

I love meat. My affection for barbecue lies on the border that separates obsession from creepy. The sizzling noise of a cooking cow is on my iPod. I tell you this so that when I explain that I support Proposition 2, also known as the Prevention of Cruelty to Farm Animals Act, it is not because I think those delicious meals on four legs need our protection. Proposition 2 needs to be passed purely as a matter of public health and safety.

10 Things to Love About Halloween

I am sure you always wondered what you like most about Halloween, and of course you wished that someone would make a list of just that. After using a series of scientific voodoo rituals, I have forged a list of the 10 best rewards All Hallow's Eve has to offer.

Sex Just as Sexy

It seems that nearly every day a politician or activist wags their finger at our generation and tells us we are the most promiscuous group of kids yet.
