The NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament, known most commonly as March Madness, is probably the most exciting sporting event of the year, including the Super Bowl (which rarely lives up to the monumental pre-game hype).

Jobs & Careers > Resumes & Cover Letters How to write a resume when you've been fired: 1 of 8
Writing a resume after you've been fired can cause a person a considerable amount of anxiety, but this doesn't have to be the case.

Politics, News & Issues > Government & Policies The US Congress' role in foreign affairs and the Iraq War: 1 of 8
In essence, the Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war and pay for the costs of the war, and the President the power to execute the war as Commander-in-Chief of the armed forces. The President negotiates treaties, but the Senate must ratify the treaties in order for them to take effect. These treaties include t... More..
Entertainment > Movie Genres Good chick flicks: 9 of 71
For guys, nothing causes more dread on a Friday night that the prospect of having to sit through a film that falls into the genre of "Chick Flick." Often women will use this at the beginning of a relationship to gauge a man's sensitivity and, by extension, what type of life-partner he might make. Many relationships have been... More..

With less than a year left in George W. Bush's presidency, many are starting to speculate on what his legacy will be and how will history remember him. The best answer at this point is that it could change dramatically depending on when the question is asked. Bush's idol, Ronald Reagan, was often ridiculed while in office bu... More..
Politics, News & Issues > War in Iraq Analyzing the war on Iraq: Justified or not: 21 of 161
Five years into the conflict in Iraq, whether or not the war was justified has become a moot point, at least as far as what we have to do to end the war is concerned. Justified or not, it is a reality we must deal with. All of the debate in the world won't change that fact. But from a historical context, and as a way of avoi... More..
Politics, News & Issues > US News Vermont movement to secede from the United States: 3 of 22
Nearly 150 years after South Carolina seceded from the Union and sparked the Civil War, the winds of secession are again blowing. This time, however, it's not nostalgic Confederates, renegade Texans or Hawaiian islanders that want to govern themselves. The state that's had enough of the United States is Vermont. A grassroots...

Entertainment > Movie Analysis Movie analysis: Controversey of The Tomb of Christ documentary: 4 of 29
You have to give James Cameron credit. For two thousand years Christian leaders and Biblical scholars have had to struggle to prove that Jesus actually lived; Cameron flies right past that and says he can prove that he died.
