All too often I find myself in offensive, rude, or just plain disgusting situations in a public restroom, and most of those are in office buildings with co-workers. You expect a certain degree of nastiness when you’re in a highway rest area or at an airport, [...]

The Great Divide
I am certainly not alone in thinking that the past decade has seen a heightened sense of awareness around whether your fellow Americans are political conservatives or liberals.

Remembering the Good Times
