The Chilling Warmth of “Snow Fall”
Winter has ended. Her snow gives way to the blossoms of spring, and her chilling air has been replaced by a cool pollinated breeze. Spring rains and sunshine inspire life and growth as activity resumes. The afternoon is partly cloudy – storms are approaching. A tornado watch has been issued and the breeze increases its speed. Blossoms…
Never Going Back: The Fight for Marriage Equality
“The only reason they [gays and lesbians] want to be legally married is that they want money, money, money. They want the federal, state and county money that has been set aside for a man and female…They should not be allowed to have it. Marriage is only between a man and a woman,” says Sandra…

Compared to their last encounter, this debate maintained some similarities, but was vastly different in tone. Let me first say this: I found many of the questions to be posed stereotypically – I’ll explain. The “jobs” question was asked…
PolitiPost: VP Debate – Biden vs. Ryan
Tonight’s debate between Vice President Biden and GOP hopeful Paul Ryan was more intense, intelligent, and lively than last weeks Obama-Romney encounter.

PolitiPost: Obama vs. Romney
Tonight’s debate: the first in this Presidential race and the first I’ve ever watched. President Obama went head to head with Governor Romney. Romney came off in a falsely confident, overzealous, arrogant and aggressive manner. Problem is, I just spent over an hour watching Mitt Romney numerically bullet point his vague ideas and plans for America, and still only…
