Insulting Republicans won’t change vote
Nov. 18, 2008As someone who worked against Amendment 2 and felt hurt by the results, I appreciate the general sentiment behind Todd Portnowitz's guest column, but I take serious issue with the implication that all of Sen. John McCain's supporters are unreasonable or immature voters.

Sports not worth risking health, girlfriend
By Sarah Petersen | Nov. 17, 2008I don't get it. I can't count how many times I repeated this to my sports-obssessed ex-boyfriend during the year we dated.
