By: Geoffrey Yonil Recently I've been seeing a lot of 'I Am an American' essays, or some variation of the sort, defining what it is to be an American. I didn't happen to agree with most of the essays, so here is my response to all of the ones…
By: Hillary Ghongil I never thought I'd see the day that having a Facebook profile would be a crime. It's slightly hysterical. A new bill called "Facebook Felon" is working its way through South Carolina legislature these next few weeks, and soon the bill will work its way from…
By Jeremy Mydril At first thought I wanted to blast this film for being so horrible. Badly acted, awkward, forced dialogue, a ridiculous premise, and without thinking about what the film was trying to accomplish it seems like it was just a whole bunch of British celebrities attempting to…

By: Daniel Welsh So what was so radical about the American Revolution? Well, Gordon Wood, professor of history emeritus at Brown University, proposes that the radicalism that sustained and bred society as we know it wasn't quite that radical. In fact, most of us today would probably scoff at…
By: Ryan Nathan I met Mary Kay Andrews once. She said that she wrote "commercial, pop fiction just to make money." We've all seen it. Those books you find while waiting in line at the grocery store, at airports, news stands, wherever—it's all pretty invasive. Commercial fiction. The all…
By: Jeremy Mydril Imagine what it would look like if Leon Trotsky was reincarnated into a seventeen-year-old Canadian high school student who tries to unionize the students of his public high school, and that's what 'The Trotsky' was all about.
