Seriously, What's The Real Theme?!

So next weekend is homecoming weekend. New Trier does things a little differently than other schools. Once we are juniors and seniors we dress up in themes. The themes are supposed to be creative. There are some ideas that are creative and are hilarious. There are others that are not at all, but some people find a way to think that they are. Most of the themes tend to be an idea for the boys....and there "hoes", etc. Just like Halloween, homecoming is an event that girls have excuses to wear barely any clothing and get away with it without being directly made fun of or harassed. I don't understand it because you can have a good theme without looking like. "hoes". In my mind it is completely degrading to girls and really not that funny.

What do you think of the whole idea?

Psycho political supporters

Throughout this presidential season, there have been many uproars of false information about the candidates. It has been coming from both sides. I am not talking about the actual candidates making information up, it is all of the people that hate the opposite party they support. The accusasions of both sides are ridiculous and just cause more hatred. There are so many ways that people can get their points across without ruining anyone's reputation. America is supposed to be the country that is one and treats everyone as equals. All of the bashing that goes on is so unnecessary. If people want the candidate that they think should be president to get promoted throughout the nation, then spread information around that will help them in positive ways. Saying negative things and lies about the opposing candidates may get a point across that they are a bad choice, but it happens on both sides, so it really doesn't help the candidate that you want to be president to win.

The attack of Ike!

We are fortunate to live in an area where a hurricane like Ike cannot happen. Thousands of people along the gulf coast chose not to evacuate, after they were warned of the danger. It was so dangerous that authorities were telling those who refused to leave to write their social security numbers on their arms so they could be identified. Whether or not they evactuate though, the losses are astronomical!
Can New Trier students help in some way?
There are many ways we can help. Some ways include, having a clothing drive, food drive, suppiles drive, or fundraisers to donate money to charities like the Red Cross that are supporting this cause.
We need to support our country and come together or help!

George W. Bush was so 8 years ago!

At this point in the presidential debate both parties are pretty heated. There have been many speculations about Senator McCain's decision to choose a women for a running mate. What many people saw in her, was the Governor of Alaska that did not have many credentials to be vice president. On the other hand, many people believed that she would be a great addition to the white house. The real question is whether or not it was a strategic move on Senator McCain's part. I believe it was a strong choice for him to make. Some voters that wanted Hilary Clinton to win could have been feminist, only voting for her because she was a woman. Those people may in turn vote for McCain because his running mate is a woman. From Sarah Palin's speeches, I think she is a strong woman that is going to be great in office with John McCain.
Was it a strong move for John McCain to have Sarah Palin be his vice president?
