Hooks don’t just catch fish
It would be completely naïve to say that college students are not having sex, but one can only hope that they are using protection.

Satire: Iowa wants your children for its all-American Toddler Militia
Everyone might as well move to Iowa because parents can now groom their children into the polished sharpshooters of their dreams with the passage of a bill in late February.

However, this is just the tip of a deeper problem found in the U.S., as the highly […]
Relationships are hard enough
In this day and age, many people live together long before getting hitched.

But the lack of documented proof of legal unity should not hinder a cohabitating couple’s ability to have the […]
Satire: Dear Mr. West, Yeezy or whatever
Kanye West is the worst thing that has ever happened to pop culture. He is an arrogant, pompous, vapid human being whom I shouldn’t even be writing about. However, my mom always told me that writing a letter is the best way to release your frustration to someone, so here it is: my letter to […]
