THE SWAGGER: It seems like the LeBron James vs. Kobe Bryant debate is all over the sports world today. Heck, I wrote my column about it just two weeks ago. But since Kobe's 61- point slashing of the Knicks and LeBron's almost triple-double performance in New York, the blogs have been going crazy. It is safe to call this relationship between the two players an official rivalry. And rivalries are one of the best things about sports...
Rush Limbaugh is on the air. Still. And people listen to him. This might not be such a bad thing, except that the people who listen to him are the same people leading the Republican Party. Despite rousing defeats in two election cycles, a humiliating vice-presidential candidate, the elderly and infirm constitution of its voters, a disastrous eight years in power and a social policy stuck somewhere on the wrong side of 1954, the party sticks to its guns.
The Beatles passionately fantasized about this, Cassavetes' "The Notebook" (2004) was purely based on this, and Cinderella found this when she located her missing shoe. Can you figure it out?
The final crew to hit the stage last Sunday was the most anticipated and the most star-studded of Vibe XIV. Kaba Modern Legacy put it down with a set that featured some of the best KM dancers from recent years, including members from MTV's "Randy Jackon Presents America's Best Dance Crew" team. The all-star filled stage blew up with a combination of classic Kaba Modern choreography of meticulous detail and smooth transitions. With every new song in the set came a rumble of appreciation from the hyped crowd as KM Legacy shut the place down.
THE SWAGGER: Check this Anteater Nation, one of UC Irvine's very own is making a name for himself in the National Basketball Association. I know what you are thinking. UCI's basketball team has never made the NCAA Tournament; it hasn't even won its own conference tournament. How does it have a player making a name for himself in the NBA? The truth is, we don't. We have a coach...
Obama set the tone for his new administration with a win-win affront on the First Amendment. The sheepish Republicans in Congress nearly bought into his attempt to marginalize Rush Limbaugh, but even though they didn't (and that's still in question), Obama has rallied the good will of his robotic constituents and thus come away unscathed.
