Ray Nagin. Yes, the former New Orleans mayor who now has a criminal record. Let me explain.

I’ve developed a fast and furious passion for the new Daily Show host, Trevor Noah.

My main reason for doing reading testing, enduring a bus ride to a field trip about weapons engineering, and other thrills? Stalking.

I wanted to write a book last summer. Then I realized what a terrible goal that was and modified accordingly.

84% of full professors in America are White. In case you were unsure, that does not match the overall makeup of the country or the student body.

My sister Liz is full of wisdom, like my favorite quote I’ve shared with practically everyone I know: “Every pair of underwear has two good sides.”
