    • Not Again: Virginia Tech Shootings

      Posted by Orato

      I was in eighth grade when 13 students and one teacher were killed at Columbine High School. Eight years later, and it's happened again, on a bigger scale on a college campus. We know that dozens are dead, but we don't know who the shooter is, or why he did it.

      Impeaching The President In Vermont

      Posted by Orato

      Last month, on the 7th of March, Vermonters in 37 towns across the state backed resolutions to impeach President George W. Bush. The resolution was brought up on the annual town meeting day, and Vermont firmly staked its position at the head of a nationwide grassroots movement to impeach Bush over his handling of the war in Iraq.

      I Was Discovered By Maria Carey's Producer

      Posted by Orato

      It all started when I got a phone call from this guy named Ben Marguiles, who co-wrote and produced most of Mariah Carey’s first record. He had received a demo of my songs that I wrote and recorded when I was 16 years old, he liked what he heard and he called me. He wanted to fly me out to Santa Barbara to record a song with him. I just assumed it was a lie, because everyone knew I grew up listening to Mariah Carey. I thought it was probably just someone messing with me.

      Don Imus: Shock Jock Fired For Shocking

      Posted by Orato

      This week, America has been assaulted by endless news coverage about the racist comments spoken by Don Imus about the Rutgers University Women's Basketball Team. Al Sharpton, Spike Lee and Whoopi Goldberg are just a few of the big names that networks have brought on air to discuss this in depth. Unfortunately, with this debate, there is only one side to take. Arguing context or Don Imus' work in the community or striving to see a larger picture is futile. The people are pissed.
