I bet you wish you could choke Cupid

Who will save us?
If you were looking for a bright spot to end this week of despair, I’m afraid the New Hampshire Democratic Debate didn’t deliver. Nobody landed a knockout punch. So who can rise to the top? Who can deliver us from evil?

Thanks, Mom for the gift of choice
I don’t know what I expected you to do, Mom, how I expected you to react when I said those words no parent wants to hear from their teenage daughter, but you surprised me. “I think I might be pregnant,” I said. You were standing...
