Protestors bring shame, not change to UCLA

by Kelly Bowers 03.09.2010

What a coincidence. The kids I babysit scream when they want something too
On the first day back at UCLA for the start of winter quarter, I began my usual morning ritual. A stale croissant from Bruin Café, an embarrassing scramble to collect new books I just bought and already lost, and of course, a quick [...]

We found the next great American novel

by Kelly Bowers 03.09.2010

But Rich Shapero’s absurd story of nature and acid trips – entitled Wild Animus – definitely isn’t it.
They say you get what you pay for. In the case of Rich Shapero’s Wild Animus, nothing could be further from the truth. If you were one of the students who received – free of charge – the [...]

You went to college for brains?

If the first rule to surving in Zombieland is “Cardio” then the second rule is “Answer the question: What would Reagan do?”
I recently saw the movie Zombieland. As a relatively well-educated and sophisticated young person, I have come to the informed and deliberate conclusion that Zombieland is a freaking kick-ass piece of cinematic achievement.
I walked [...]

Silence when you speak to me!

by Kelly Bowers 06.03.2009

Too much political correctness will soon turn into censorship
“Civilized society,” I said.
My history TA looked at me and smiled, condescendingly.
So I repeated myself – this time with defensive air quotes. They diminished my point but I think that’s what she wanted.
After all, referring to any society as civilized is offensive. I guess it implies that [...]

by Kelly Bowers 06.02.2009

Columnist and “general” Andrew Breitbart discusses taking back the culture from the long held control and domination of the Hollywood and academic far left

It has been said that Republican is the new gay in Hollywood. If that is true, writer Andrew Breitbart is the guide of the closet that those LA conservatives are too afraid [...]

BLOG: New televsion show to take liberals down a notch?

by Kelly Bowers 05.18.2009

They say you can never have too much of a good thing. Sadly, for people looking for entertainment with a conservative perspective, you can’t have any.
Thankfully, Mike Judge (creator of Beavis and Butthead and King of the Hill) is offering his version of this good – or rather Goode – thing.
The Goode Family, which premiers [...]

BLOG: A new “Standard” for blogging

by Kelly Bowers 05.18.2009

I may be a bit biased, but I think The Bruin Standard is way better than the Daily Bruin. There are many reasons. For one, staff members are upfront when they are being “a bit biased.”
But I digress.
There is one thing the Daily Bruin has over The Bruin Standard. It comes out daily.
And while The Bruin Standard [...]

Legalize prostitution: It’s a right

by Kelly Bowers 03.02.2009

I think—and have always thought—that prostitution is one of the most vile institutions in the world today. It is certainly immoral and even potentially dangerous. To put it bluntly, prostitution just ain’t pimpin’.
So naturally, I believe it should be legalized.
At the risk of sounding trite, hey! It’s a free country—and we should do everything in [...]

Low blows in Moore mockumentary

by Kelly Bowers 11.03.2008

Kelsey Grammer, Dennis Hopper, and Jon Voight might never work in this town again, and if so they went out with a bang.
This includes the bang from Fourth of July fireworks, the bang of cartoon-style violence and the bang of comedians exercising their second-amendment rights (at the expense of ACLU zombies).
Such is writer and director [...]
