Whatever happens today or tomorrow with the #Veepstakes. I'm so dang proud of @Tim_Walz. I was a "C"ish student in high school (shocking, I know). Mr. Walz took the time to make sure that I was successful. Not only in his class but others. He made learning exciting

Why we can't stop saying gay, a story

On the first day of my senior year of high school, a new boy showed up in my AP English class.

He had transferred from a prestigious private school to my public school, and I was confused.

I asked him why he moved and he shrugged

The typical student's problem is not that you enjoy drinking too much. It's that you don't enjoy drinking enough.

@adamkotsko one last thing, as someone who spends a fair amount of time around politically-minded UVA students, and an alum myself, it is very funny that anyone would describe that campus as a hotbed of left-wing anything

This may be the most impressive two minutes of ineptitude I’ve ever seen in my entire life …
