In an America dominated by the Bush administration, a strengthened Republican presence both in the Senate and House of Representatives and a right-leaning Supreme Court, the Democratic Party has struggled to keep its message heard. As a party fighting for public support and an image of themselves as something besides simply the "Anti-Republican Party," the Democrats need to return to their original base of definitive liberal ideals and grassroots politics to once again make an impact on the American political spectrum. By taking definite stances on current issues, reflecting these opinions in a new platform and creating public support networks to spread their message, the Democratic Party can once again return to its standard of being a voice for the voiceless.

I was somewhat taken aback when, in a short speech after the opening performance of her production of August Wilson's "The Piano Lesson," director Saret Scott opined that the middle-aged Wilson is already one of the great American playwrights. But after seeing "The Piano Lesson" I can find little grounds on which to disagree with her.

Dear Men, Admit it. Many of you have done it. You've seen a pretty girl walk down University Boulevard, looked her up and down and whistled, made kissing noises or shouted some obscene remark about her behind. But take it from a girl who is tired of it: It doesn't work.

If you listened really closely as you walked up the shallow concrete inclines toward the RFK Stadium ball field, you could hear the faint sound of tireless airhorns bleating in your imagination. It was hard, walking out into the open stadium air for the first time, to rid myself of the image of a soccer field with a comb-over, cleat-ripped grass neatly cut like an outfield with something to hide. The seats lacked that satisfying sproing when I stood up, as though the seats were already weary with the work of bearing some other burden. It struck me that the Nationals had not found a home so much as a leaky basement they could sleep in.
