Pop Culture and the Teen Pregnancy
February 3rd, 2010With shows and movies like Teen Mom, The Secret Life of the American Teenager, The Pregnancy Pact, and 16 & Pregnant I’ve begun to notice a new trend — American’s intense fascination of pregnant teenagers. Perhaps this interest surged when Britney Spears 16-year-old sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, told the world of her pregnancy in December 2007. Read More

The Longest, Most Comprehensive, Mid-Season TV Recap That I Have Ever Written
February 2nd, 2010Darling, darling, reader people: I have been a lazy, lazy bum.

After all, to watch a lot of the TV, you have to spend a lot of time, sitting on your ass and doing nothing. Read More
Women in Science
February 2nd, 2010When A.D. White and Ezra Cornell founded Cornell University in 1865, coeducation was practically nonexistent.

The State of the Union and the State of the Obama Presidency
January 27th, 2010The State of the Union is much more than a presidential obligation, it's become a right of passage, a test of a president's mettle, a referendum on his successes and failures over the period of 365 days.
