The Great Tee Shirt Outrage
Okay, this is one of those things that make me an elitist snob. Even so, perhaps you’ll understand my befuddlement and slight consternation. So there was a young lady who seemed nice enough, a little peculiar maybe. But I was cheered to see she was wearing a Bob Marley tee shirt, since I am always glad to see a young person whose taste in music goes back further than Iggy Azalea and Justin Bie...

A Thanksgiving Editorial: In Praise of the Common Turkey

Melania Pens Trump's Resignation Speech
