Delegate Counting
With no defining narrative emerging out of Tuesday’s Republican debate, the time is long past to start looking long and hard at the delegate math of this year’s primary.
Transition With No Transparency
The lack of transparency in the proposed restructuring of the library system—seemingly consisting of layoffs and an “incentivized” early retirement program affecting an undisclosed number of HUL employees—has every library employee on edge.
Equality is More Than Rhetoric
Most arguments against gay marriage simply don’t address the central issue of this debate: whether or not there is a legal reason that gay marriage ought not be recognized by the state.

Take a Break. Think.
