I enjoyed Dr. John Douillard, DC’s recent article “Coffee!

In our house we watch TV, always have. I despise the TV because my husband spends so [...]
Black (adj.): characterized by tragic or disastrous events; causing despair. –New Oxford American Dictionary This Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year: Black Friday. Retailers prepare months in advance for this day–preparation that’s meant to stimulate your insatiable desire to consume. Doorbuster sales. New products. Gigantic newspaper ads.

While it’s a fairly humorous warning (and likely a student prank), the last line also seems to be a suitable synecdoche for the online world: “Please masturbate in your own rooms.” Of [...]
By Beth Morrison HAVEN CEO Imagine this scene in the Penn State Football locker room: Coach Paterno walks in and gives his players the horrific news, that one of their own was caught raping a young boy.
