How the Democrat Party Lost Its "ic" (11 comments)
My determination to find out why and when Republicans replaced "Democratic Party" with the stunningly childish "Democrat Party" led me to a secret strategy session held by the Republican elite shortly after their defeat at the polls.

What if corporations were convicted for their crimes? John Frachetti, whose inflammatory blog posts got him accused of being a terrorist, has been laying low in the FW Diner, a chain that was turned into a haven for activists after the union reframed the CEO's scheme to profit from the company's conviction for theft.

Short Story: "Frachetti's Challenge" (15th and last of a series) (1 comments)
If we could convict corporations for their crimes, what else could we do to undo all the damage that's been done in the name of corporate personhood?

This Full Moon shines on how our minds cope with these changes.

Dvorak actually composed the symphony several months before he went to Iowa.He was living in an apartment near at the corner of 17th Street and Second Avenue in New York City. Good Essay!
