I’m watching this would-be snow fall from my living room window. They had called for three inches of the wet/heavy stuff, and yet, there’s very little taking shape. The start of spring seems to have...
Here we are, folks. Over the halfway mark. Midterms always marks an odd shift in the semester. For the first eight weeks, life is chaotic, but the motivation of the students and professors is strong. Yet,...

I just don’t understand this whole Kim Davis saga.
If for some reason you don’t know who I’m talking about, Kim Davis is the Kentucky courthouse clerk who refused to authorize same-sex marriage...
I’m just going to get to the point. I am furious and astonished that in 2015 there is a fight to defund a service that is vital to health.
I am talking about Planned Parenthood, but I am absolutely...
