Post Column: Make the decision to be a happier person
Jan. 30, 2013I’ve been really lacking in ideas lately.
COLUMNS
Post Column: Weekly Rewind: Gandhi, King were examples to live by
Jan. 28, 2013Martin Luther King, Jr. Day might have given us a long weekend last Monday, but from where did the celebrated civil-rights leader draw his influence? King said it himself: “Christ gave us the goals, and Mahatma Gandhi the tactics.”
Post Column: Extra Point: Realignment only hurts NCAA, fans
Jan. 28, 2013The goal of any business or organization is to be profitable, and college sports are no exception.
Post Column: Tellers of drunken tales should keep it down
Jan. 27, 2013Let’s talk about Mondays. Everyone is bound by law to hate Monday because it’s the first day of class and work, and even though we are taught by people wiser than us that we should embrace learning and work passionately, we hate doing both.
Post Column: 'Glee' music thievery reeks of network laziness
Jan. 27, 2013To this day, I’m still not entirely sure how I ended up as the senior music supervisor of the popular television show Glee. I’m a comedy writer whose grasp of music goes as far as singing “Sexy and I Know It” to myself in the shower every morning before breaking down and weeping; nothing in my skill-set made me ideal for the position. Somehow, though, FOX decided to give me the job, probably because the other applicants kept going… let’s call it “missing.”
Post Column: Inaugural lip-sync not event's worst scandal
Jan. 27, 2013Congratulations, America! We have already successfully embroiled the White House in controversy before President Barack Obama has even had enough time to properly start his second term.
Between the Lines: If anyone can revive 'Star Wars,' it's Abrams
Jan. 27, 2013Let’s face it: There’s nothing that can be done to the Star Wars franchise that George Lucas didn’t do himself.
Post Column: North Korean missile tests a worrisome challenge to U.S.
Jan. 27, 2013North Korea announced Thursday its plans for a third nuclear test as a result of U.N. comments that the country’s last missile launch was banned activity.
Post Column: Shifting Tides: Long-distance dating can be difficult to navigate
Jan. 23, 2013There’s this girl I know who drives to Columbus every weekend to see her boyfriend. Funny, you go to college with the expectation that weekends will become your time to live the memories you’ll be thinking of in the future. The people you meet, the parties you’ll go to — all part of the giant repertoire of things you’re looking for while venturing from home.
Post Column: US debt includes too many wasteful costs
Jan. 23, 2013The debt clock should have one of those seizure warning thingies that are shown at the beginning of video games. There are so many flashy numbers with so many important things to say. I’m sure that, somewhere out there, a Nobel-worthy economist sees the next global market crisis through the gazillion changing digits.
Post Column: Fishing rewards anglers with intrinsic value
Jan. 23, 2013Smelling the fresh Folgers, tying on your favorite crankbait, loading up the gear and heading to the lake, headlights aglow — mornings preluding a fishing trip on the outside might look ever so shallow, but to the fisherman, there is intrinsic nature to the routine.
Post Column: Razz Wheat a versatile choice for fruit lovers
Jan. 23, 2013Today, we are going to talk about a beer that is quintessentially Athens. Not only is it brewed at everyone’s favorite Midwestern brewpub, Jackie O’s, but it is their No. 1 beer. On a busy night, Jackie O’s can and will sell literally kegs of this stuff. On a great night, they sometimes run out.
Post Column: Happy Trails: Don't let past relationships drag you down
Jan. 23, 2013Let me tell you something about people and relationships.
Post Column: New Razer tablet could be worth hefty price tag
Jan. 23, 2013Nerds like me know that Razer, a popular video game accessory company, does not mess around. If you aren’t familiar, just know that it is a powerhouse and its products are gorgeous pieces of technology. At the recent Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, it unveiled its newest project: the Razer Edge gaming tablet. It gained attention from gamers everywhere and swept up the Best of CES Award (I would give it an award too, but I’m not quite as powerful).
Post Column: Video-game violence obviously the country's biggest threat
Jan. 21, 2013Folks, I know this is a humor column, but I want to take this time to talk to you about a serious subject. You’re all aware of the tragedy that happened during winter break: the senseless, horrific murder of 27 innocent people, including 20 children, in Newtown, Conn. Some humorists believe that it’s never too soon to joke about any subject, but I believe that if anything in this world is untouchable, the mass murder of schoolchildren has got to be it. There’s nothing funny about what happened in Sandy Hook, and I’m not going to pretend otherwise.
Post Column: Modern drug control better than all-out opium war
Jan. 21, 2013A few months ago, I was watching the local news in my hometown of Cincinnati when I saw an advertisement for a news special. The report focused on a supposed drug epidemic that was particularly affecting the Kentucky suburbs: heroin.
Post Column: Nightmare ride the last straw for Greyhound
Jan. 21, 2013There’s some presumably dead wise person who said we learn from our mistakes. Usually this is true, because I’m pretty sure none of Taylor Swift’s exes have been her ex more than once. However, there are a few of us that contradict that adage, and I am one of them.
Between the Lines: 'Post' writers reflect on trip to inauguration
Jan. 21, 2013Apple pie and baseball are just a couple things that people call “uniquely American.”
Post Column: NHL's short, tight schedule is bad for players
Jan. 21, 2013The ending of the 2012 season was bittersweet for National Hockey League fans throughout the country. At that time, fans waited in excitement for the playoffs, yet they also worried as the NHL’s labor dispute was not far behind. The dispute officially began Sept. 15 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, marking the second lockout in the last eight years.
Post Column: Give Americans the Death Star we deserve
Jan. 21, 2013American people are frankly tired of the government disappointing them — especially when it’s an issue regarding their safety.
