On the surface, I understand what the Republicans are doing. Or, at least, what they claim they are doing. They claim they are trying to stop us from sliding into a black hole of socialized health care and education (oh the horror! Healthy, educated people!). They claim to be standing by their values and that [...]

Ludo has a dog walker now. Or, at least, had, I make no guarantees after my discovery on Friday. I work all day and it takes forever to get to and from work so, in an attempt to keep my little guy going, I hired a local vet tech to walk him. Sounds good, right? Yeah. [...]

You know? Somewhere along the line I started thinking that 9pm was a good time for bed and 5am doesn’t feel so early anymore. I think that is how I realized I am getting older. A good friend of mine and I talk about this all the time. We are both in our early 20s [...]

America is in trouble. It is something that we say a lot but few people actually understand [...]

So, I just saw the single best commercial ever. You guys know what Plan B is, right? The emergency contraception? Right. So the commercial goes like this: *girl sitting up in bed looking upset* narrator: “the morning after your birth control fails, you might feel alone. You’re not” Seriously.

By now we all know that a 7.1 magnitude earthquake hit Haiti on Monday. It devestated an already suffering nation and initial numbers count the deaths at nearly 100,000. Surely, more deaths will come as the people die from lack of clean water, disease, and improper medical care for injuries. It is times like these that [...]
