No more Newsday?

Hofstra Chronicle December 23, 2008

Newsday, Long Island's only daily newspaper, may no longer be freely available on campus, a perfect example of everything ailing the newspaper industry. News of this change shocked many since it was not unusual to see the Newsday stack empty much quicker than that of the New York Times, given that Newsday delivers more papers than the Times does.

Sex and the Suburbs

Hofstra Chronicle December 23, 2008

"Let me feel you upside down, slide in, slide out, slide over here. Climb into my mouth now, child," Jason Mraz sings in "Butterfly," a sexually-charged song that focuses on a woman's vagina, which he refers to as a "butterfly." Yes, Jason Mraz has a song about eating out, cleverly written so you really have to stop and listen to the lyrics.

‘Editress’ of the Week

Hofstra Chronicle December 23, 2008

¡Ay, mami, she's a caliente chick! You'd know if you saw her: the dark sunglasses, the perpetual scowl, the absent wave-and I've known her for a year! "No need to be friendly to the common folk," she says. No holas for the unwashed mass of Hofstra. Jillian Sorgini is a well-curved 5 feet 2 inches and has never broken 100 pounds.

Just because the rink is cold doesn’t mean you play in the basement

Hofstra Chronicle December 23, 2008

Despite ballads, ‘Circus’ thrills

Hofstra Chronicle December 23, 2008

Britney Spears, or rather her people, certainly have a knack for titling her albums. "Blackout," produced while she was prancing around town partying, forgetting to wear underwear and speaking in various accents, seemed to be the perfect word to describe her.

Giants take loss from Eagles but retain title

Hofstra Chronicle December 23, 2008

Well, it wasn't pretty, and it seemed somewhat strange, but the Giants got beaten badly by the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday afternoon and still found a way to clinch the NFC East title.

Antonio Pierce, the guy who has been in the news a lot for his involvement in the Plaxico Burress scandal, made several big mistakes including a misread on a long Brian Westbrook touchdown.
