Don’t pigeon-hole yourself with political affiliation
I hesitate to stamp a party’s brand on my forehead because I can say for myself that there is no one party in existence today that coincides and aligns with every exact value I have as an individual.
Read MoreSara dislikes Sarah: ‘Sarah Palin’s Alaska’ is the ultimate horror
I have decided that reality TV is about as dumb as TV gets. I mean, why do people care so much that John and Kate are divorced? And Mrs. “Nineteen Kids and Counting”? It’s called birth control.

If you’re thinking, “Wow, this chick is crazy,” I have some statistics to share with you.
Letter: Charlie Granade on ‘Sex sermons stimulate conversation’
I appreciate that The Eagle covered my talk last week. I also respect Sara Labor’s difference in opinion when it comes to this issue of sex before marriage. What I don’t appreciate, however, was being misquoted as saying something I didn’t say.
Read MoreLetter: Daniel Schweitzer’s ‘concern over a recent trend’
I am writing to voice my concern over a recent trend I have seen in The Eagle and Chadron State’s student culture in general. Recently, it seems, there has been a rising tendency among readers to voice hostility and outrage over the contents of these pages, culminating in the defacement of the newspapers left in the Student Center
