Politics should be more like 'The West Wing'

In My Opinion | The Clockwork Mind

by Joseph Vandehey

I'm watching "The West Wing" again. Yes, all seven seasons of the fictional presidency of Josiah Bartlet. I bought the complete collection on DVD a little more than a year ago. At that time, I had only a small collection of movies in my dorm room to watch over and over again, and I had just received a pocketful of Christmas money with which, my parents commanded, I ought to buy something to make myself happy; so I was movie hunting.

In My Opinion | Anything but Apathy

by Deborah Bloom

I am not what you would call the proverbial nice girl. Sure, I will smile at you on the street. If you are trailing behind me I will probably hold the door for you. I am even likely to throw some spare change into your expired parking meter. Still, I'm not someone you would take home to mother.
