Here is a syllogism that should be in play in public discourse now and the fact that it’s not should worry some folks. Given #1: Franklin Delano Roosevelt (FDR) was the most transformative President of the 20th Century. He expanded government more than any President in history.

Projectile Vomiting in Tracy
Folks, this blog may make you want to throw bleach over your eyes. It’s that bad. Jeffrey Pribble, a varsity football coach and teacher at Tracy High School, was arrested last week after police said his cell phone was found recording students in the boys’ locker room.

This post is about willful ignorance and my frustration with it. Folks, over the last year, I have been crystal clear about the intricacies of navigating the legal and ethical dilemmas that I have encountered in my relationship with my special friend.

The cancer, of course, looks to be still present (or the damaged tissue from it) but the tumors have shrunk.
