At times it seems nothing could possibly be shocking anymore when it comes to American politics. Sure, it's easy to turn on cable news talk programs and see Rachel Maddow, Ann Coulter, James Carville or Bill O'Reilly work themselves into a lather over something they absolutely can't believe came out of the mouth of a politician whose views disagree with their own. But that's theater. Trumped-up, overblown shock has become a staple of how we participate and consume politics. Just because the talking heads feign shock and...

As a music store owner, the Buffett I'm usually concerned with is Jimmy Buffett of Margaritaville. But a bunch of lobbying groups who claim to represent small business are making me mad. They're trying to scare people into believing that job-creating small businesses like mine won't hire people if the "Buffett Rule" or anything like it is enacted. What hogwash. The...
Despite enormous stress on military families from repeated wartime deployments and long periods living apart, service marriages are showing a level of resilience that social scientists can't yet explain. Military divorce rates have climbed only gradually in recent years and, according to a report in the Journal of Family Issues this month, have not exceeded the rate of broken marriages reported among civilian peers.

Katlyn Gore is participating in Saturday's second annual "Walk in Their Shoes" event that promotes awareness about sexual assault. She hopes the event will help people dealing with sexual violence realize there are local services in place such as Arise Sexual Assault Services, which is sponsoring the 5k run/walk. "I don't think as many people are aware of it as the general community needs to be," Gore said. "This is just a great way to show people that this is a major problem and this run is going to help get that awareness...
