This past Sunday, the Kansas City Chiefs and The San Fransisco 49ers both punched their tickets to the premiere sporting event in all of North American sports, and all anyone seemed to care about was the kiss that Pro Bowl Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce shared with Taylor Swift on the field after the game.

You Can Be Right and Wrong at the Same Time A friend of mine in college once told me that, “Two seemingly mutually exclusive ideas can both be true at the same time.” If that esoteric gibberish seems somewhat mind-numbing, like the weed-induced ramblings of yet another stoner trustafarian wasting his parents’ tuition funds trying […]
The Affliction in American Health Care In the United States, we live under the perpetual delusion that everything here is the best in the world. We believe we have the best economy, the best education, the best healthcare. You name it- we think we’re the best. But in terms of per capita GDP, the United […]
How Gerrymandering Leaves Us With Lauren Boebert Sometimes I am both amazed and appalled that Lauren Boebert and I hail from the same state.

A Crash Course on the Separation of Church and State I’ve begun to feel like I should teach a prerequisite course on basic American Civics.
