From the LU Professor who wrote this: "I have no animus toward Jerry Falwell Jr. He simply should not have a monopoly on this decision. I think he is dangerously wrong here & seems unable or unwilling to recognize it. For that reason, the decision must be taken out of his hands."

@NC5PhilWilliams They should! Last night, I talked to my sister. We grew up Republican. We both said any GOP candidate will be hard pressed to earn our vote. Many in that formerly right leaning sphere of our lives feel the same now.

@josh_hammer Apparently, Kiev (KEY-ev) is the Russian pronunciation/spelling, while Kyiv (KEYv) is Ukrainian. Similar to how there is no "THE" in front of Ukraine.

@JessicaHuseman I'm tired of the "you have to pay your dues by living poor" segment of tv/news/journalism. Getting paid crap is a bad idea. You lose some talented people because they know they can get more elsewhere. You get stuck with some bad hired because you have to hire someone.
