A Fashion-Speak Abortion

My metro routine, like most anyone, consists of walking down an escalator and waiting for a train.  My particular waiting spot boasts a billboard advertisement that always brings a bit of brightness to my day.  The ads stay up for several weeks at a time, so it’s always exciting when they change them.  The most […]

Obama’s State of the Union: Little Has Changed

Obama has given his very last State of the Union address in his last year as president.  Despite a few moments of bipartisan approval, it revealed the same kind of biased rhetoric, emphatic tone, and distorted policies that we have come to expect of the president.
