Unless you've been living under a rock, I'm probably not telling you anything you don't know when I say that the hype around "The Dark Knight" is no fluke. It really is as good as everyone says; perhaps even better.

Even if I said it was the best film of 2008, which it is, that would still be selling the film short.

I recently wrote a column concerning rising gas prices in America ("Polar bears, oil: American greed needs to be restrained by people," June 17). Due to the amount of feedback, both good and bad, I am writing a follow up to provide factual content to back up my piece.

If you turned on TV news early last week, it would have been difficult for you not to hear about the now-infamous cover of July 21 issue of The New Yorker magazine.

Odds are good, too, that you heard pundits denounce the cover as tasteless, offensive and possibly racist.

Colin Fury first held a gun when he was seven.

It was with his father at the George Bush shooting range in Bear Creek, Texas. Fury was so excited to shoot the paper target with a handgun.

Peak oil spells end of civilization

Another summer session has ended, and I've been worried all week about final grades and tests. I always question how I did on the test and what kind of participation points I'll receive. When I find myself worrying and upset, I remember a little concept my uncle introduced me to: peak oil spells the end of civilization.

Dark as 'Knight'

There was a time not too long ago when the 'Batman' movies were expected to be somewhat light-hearted and always family friendly.

The films, well, most of them, were entertaining enough to see, but were never really recognized in ways other than ticket sales and salon chatter about the hot actor portraying the Caped Crusader.

Why? From the earliest stages of childhood, this question seems to be top on the minds of most human beings. I remember all the "why" questions that stampeded through my head as a kid. Why is the sky blue and the grass green? Why does it get hot in the summer and cold in the winter? Why are my eyes brown?

As I get older, "why" is attached to much harder topics.
