The current field of Republican candidates has failed to quench the thirsts of conservatives for another Ronald Reagan-like figure. Many conservatives do not believe any of the eight major candidates fit the mold of a conservative who can defeat Hillary Clinton in the general election.
It’s almost that time of year again — after four months of barely glancing at that $100 microeconomics textbook, you take it back to the bookstore to sell it back for a few bucks.

I was a vocal supporter of the Iraq war during its initial stages and into 2005 and believed with conviction in the stated goal of bringing democracy to the Middle East. I agreed that Saddam Hussein was a dictator against whom force was justified. I cheered when we took Baghdad and dismissed the skeptics’ claim that we were merely in it for the oil. With this admission, I join a significant portion of policy makers, government leaders and the American intelligentsia who were duped.
Fifty million users, one CEO, two objectives. Since Facebook.com’s launch in 2004, the social network has undergone a series of face-lifts. Once upon a time the site was simply a convenient way to communicate with friends. Now gifts and applications have helped to turn Facebook into a highly profitable business.

Finding parking downtown could become a little bit easier very soon — if the City Council approves a proposal to add 45 spaces to the 76-space parking lot on the southwest corner of Albert Avenue and Bailey Street, that is.
While writing about Latin American-aimed racism last week, I began exploring the issue of illegal immigration — a very hot topic. Racism and discrimination of any kind is wrong and usually based on ignorance, no questions asked, and should be socially unacceptable in any form.
In her column titled Birth control good idea for middle schoolers (SN 11/14), Kelly Kane assumes “the parents that are angry over these school districts’ decision to approve birth control are those that are not close with their children.”
