    by CU Independent February 7, 2008
    by CU Independent February 7, 2008

    Angelina Jolie poured onto magazine covers in recent years, dressed down in cargo pants and wife-beater, always photographed with her favorite accessories–her newly adopted children from Asia and Africa. In a trend that has become the new “Hollywood Chic,” international children have become the designer purses of smug activists.

    The Winter Classic game between the Pittsburgh Penguins and the Buffalo Sabres took place in Ralph Wilson Stadium in Buffalo on New Years Day. Over 70,000 fans left the warm confines of their homes to freeze in the stadium seats. It was then that the NHL realized the opportunity at hand.

    Maternal madness

    by CU Independent February 3, 2008
    by CU Independent February 3, 2008

    A few weeks ago, my best friend and I went to the mall. As she drove, she suddenly threw her hands in the air and yelled, “God, this guy is riding my tail!” And there it was, a tiny bit of her dad coming through.

    I am guilty of the same thing. For instance, when I happen to notice that someone is tan, I say they are “brown as a berry.” Berries aren’t even brown. I didn’t come up with these things on my own. And each time I catch myself doing or saying one of these things, I always pause and think.

    Kut-ing a path through Europe

    by CU Independent February 1, 2008

    Dear readers,

    As I sit in a small pub in London’s Islington borough, I’m just over two weeks into my study abroad experience. I chose to study in London for a variety of reasons – the most important being that my high school Spanish was terrible. A common language, an intertwined history, and my Anglophile-ness has brought me to the United Kingdom for the spring.

    Honey, how do I look in this?

    by CU Independent January 25, 2008
    by CU Independent January 25, 2008

    You cannot judge a man by the size of his penis. At least that’s what I keep telling them.

    It’s inevitable that if you are sexually active with a male, you will be confronted with one of the following statements regarding his genitalia: I wish my penis were larger. I wish my penis had more girth. My balls are too small. My balls aren’t even. If we have kids, how do you feel about circumcision?

    by CU Independent January 24, 2008

    Cars have been a passionate part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I’ve always felt confident about my car knowledge and opinions–until now. Ever since I tried to build myself a car out of cardboard and brads in kindergarten, I have understood that American cars, to put it nicely, sucked.
