OpinionsNah’msayin?
As a student journalist, I have mixed feelings about a zombie apocalypse.
On one hand, you’ve got diseased corpses desperately seeking to tear your flesh off and eat you alive. But on the other hand, there always seem to be thousands of crumpled up newspapers kicking around. -

OpinionsLucrative Liquids
Would it make sense if my landlord installed a coin machine that charged me a dollar to get into my apartment? How about if air was privatized and I had to pay by the breath? The answer to both questions is no. It would be completely ridiculous to pay for something that I already own.

I picked up a copy of La Presse on Tuesday and read a screaming headline that old people—yes, old people—are smoking pot, getting high, and loving it.

OpinionsSheep in Wolves’ Clothing
After approximately five hours of shooting at the last big protest I covered for The Link, I walked away with a few hundred pretty decent photos, a bruised nose and a couple riot baton-shaped lumps that stayed on my ribs longer than that week’s issue of the paper was on the stands.
