I cannot lie - I am that girl who has used Halloween as an excuse to completely hooch it up.

My best friend even has a Top 10 Melissa Tramp Outfits, and there are easily three Halloween costumes on there. (Editor’s Note: So 70% of those outfits were a normal day? Awesome.)

So, in order to keep myself off any Tramp lists this year, I decided to seek out non-slutty alternatives to my typical Halloween looks. After all, I’d much rather be recognized for my creativity than my boobs on October 31st this year.

Shocking, I know. Read More »

If you watched the VP debate last night you heard a lot about Sarah Palin’s BFF, Joe Six Pack. But who is he? What does he like? What does he do?

We don’t know Joe Six Pack personally (though we have hooked up with his cousin, Mark Quarter Barrel…who could not keep it up), but we imagine he’d be something like this:

Description:
5′11, brown hair, brown eyes, some sort of facial hair, big hands and a tattoo of some sort (possibly his kids’ initials) on his upper arm. No actual six pack to be seen behind the slight beer belly hanging over the top of his ill-fitting denim. Read More »

If you support Barack Obama but think you’re too poor to donate any amount to his campaign that would make a difference, think again.

Until today (9/19) at midnight, the campaign has a matching donation program set up. That means that anything you donate is automatically doubled by some other kind soul. If you’d like, you can send that person a thank-you message after you make your donation.

So if Obama’s your man, now’s the time to show it with a little green! Here is the explanation and donation page.

Break out the American flag ice cream cake and your fabulous red, white and blue Go-Go boots (what? You dont have a pair?), today, September 17, is Constitution Day!

Today is the 221st anniversary of the signing of the U.S Constitution.  Even though amendments have been made, a lot of the words in that famous document are still active today.

At the moment, we’re kind of politically divided…but doesn’t it make you feel good to know 221 years ago, somebody did something right?  Bust out this info in your History class today and get bonus points…points that should only increase with a fabulous pair of Go-Go boots.

We’ve got a serious case of the Issues this year. But what to care about? Where do you aim your burgeoning, passionate fury? Trick question! Everywhere, of course! We’re all such furious young people. But you’d be remiss if these weren’t on your political plate:

-The New Russia
Does Russia actually have the national cojones to start a second Cold War? Honestly, it seems unlikely; as a nation, we’re not as fresh around nukes as we used to be, and I’d hope there have been enough near misses since then that’d we’d be leery of another round of brinkmanship. But it’s clear that the Motherland is tired of playing second fiddle to emerging powerhouses like China, and with all the god-knows-what they’ve been getting into recently, we’ll definitely want a Prez who can play both hardball and group hugs with the Russians. Of course, this probably won’t affect the average college student much, though you might want to bug your facilities management about getting some sturdier desks. Read More »

Even though we here at CC love a good political debate (because nothing says “I am awesome” like being able to hold you own in a war of politics), we occasionally find ourselves just a  little bit tired of the whole ‘Republicans are the Devil’ / ‘Democrats are babies’ thing.

It’s during these moments that we’re glad to see people using their free time to create masterpieces such as…well…this:
