      A Political Culture of Self-Entitlement
      Yes, it's still going. The primary that would never end feels like it could stretch past November at this point. And this voter is over it. Why does this continue to drag on? Because no one wants to hurt the feelings of a Clinton. After Hilary Clinton grabbed a win in Puerto Rico, the NY Times chimed in drumming up its importance by stating that her victory came "among Hispanic voters, who

      The Daring Bakers Go Out for Some Culture!
      [Quick shout-out: Happy Birthday, Mom!!]Growing up, that is what my friends and I used to call going to museums or the theater: getting culture. We'd go, we'd appreciate the arts or learn some history and come away smarter (or so we thought.)
