So remember when I said that I wasn’t getting near politics, cause I’d start throwing things? Well, it’s been an interesting week.

I Was a Boy Scout Once… And a Brownie

by Quinn Kess April 24, 2012 4 Comments

When I was little, I was so jealous of the kids who got to wear their scout uniforms to school. Oh, man. All of the patches that they could earn for learning all kinds of things were so fascinating to me, not to mention selling cookies and getting to go camping. Eventually, I wore my [...]

You’ve Got to Bash In Minds

by Quinn Kess April 15, 2012 Leave a comment

State Government has been getting a bit of a bad rap lately.

Unless you’ve been living under a rock for the last month or so, it’s likely that you’ve at least heard the name Trayvon Martin. I’ll be the first to admit that I’m one of those people who usually gets my news from Facebook or Twitter (I know, I know…), so I’m well aware as to [...]

Are We the Capitol?

by Jennifer Dorsey March 28, 2012 3 Comments

In Monday’s vlog Julian posed two questions: “How can we break through the norms of our society that prioritizes the wrong problems, and do you think you do enough to help end world hunger?” Easy questions, yes?
