Brazoria Mayor Ken Corley wants to make it a city ordinance to fine people for using the “N” word. It would be up to the complainant if it were found offensive or not. You know what we find more offensive? Newspapers and media outlets that refer to it as the “N” word instead of typing [...]

Given that it’s more than a year and a half away from election day, these polls don’t mean shit. But they’re still interesting to read. A Washington Post poll has Hillary far ahead of her other Democratic competitors, pulling in 41 percent - with Obama and Edwards being closest at 17 and 11 [...]
