Her “Hurtful Words Resonate Years Later” showed how saying “that’s so gay” as a thoughtless teenager ended up unknowingly affecting her relationship with her own sister. So honest and well-said.

All the candidates bring a sincere desire to be good stewards of our local public schools, but Susan and Nancy show a consistent track record of being proactive in their […]
The issue: The country’s economic troubles give credence to Obama’s refusal to support military strikes The West’s stiffened sanctions against Iran apparently are starting to hurt. Since July, when the European Union voted to end purchases of Iranian oil, Iran’s main source of income, exports have fallen by 30 percent or more. And sanctions against […]
