The Lessons We Can Learn from Frankenstein Before I begin this week’s column, now is probably the time to inform my loyal readers that I will be putting an indefinite pause on the weekly publication of TRUTH: In 1000 Words or Less. Don’t worry — I’ll still be far too dogmatic and opinionated to refrain […]
Something Old and Something New If there’s one thing I love about being a teacher, besides the obvious fame and wealth that go hand in hand with the profession, there is the prolonged opportunity for exploration and adventure.

A Step in the Right Direction Y’all knew I was going to have to chime in on Joe Biden’s decision to step down as the Democratic candidate for the 2024 Presidential election, right? I have, after all, been calling on him to do so since I first wrote on this subject back in 2022. I […]
