Obama is given a new title: The “first gay president.” Check out the interesting Newsweek cover. More »
Tupac’s going on tour, and Oprah came to campus again (sort of)
It’s late. You’re up. All of that appeasing to the weather gods sure payed off in the end, didn’t it? If only I could say the same for exams…
