SHE’S NOT WRONG:  The Age of Duty.

I’d call it the age of Noblesse Oblige.

JUDGING PEOPLE ON THE CONTENT OF THEIR CHARACTER IS NOW VERBOTTEN:  Content Of Our Character.

THE ONLY REASON THIS ISN’T MORE VISIBLE IN MY FIELD IS THAT MOST OF THE CONFERENCES WERE FOR TRAD PUB:  Trying to Notice What’s Missing.

IF THEY KEEP THIS UP, THEY WON’T LIKE WHAT COMES AFTER TRUMP:  The GOP’s Trump Solution.

But I knew the WSJ had gone left when they threw everything behind Summer of Recovery 2 and 3 and 4 and 5 and 6 and 7 and 8, and acted like Obama could tell an economy from a hole in the ground, or find his own behind with the help of a seeing eye dog.

FROM BECKY R. JONES:  Night Mage.

After fighting a demon in the middle of Philadelphia, Zoe O’Brien wants nothing more than to return to her normal, if stress-filled, life as an assistant professor of history at Summerfield College. But she’s an Elemental mage and that means when there’s potential magical trouble on campus, the squirrels come to her.

Who or what is the dark presence moving around campus? Why is it here and what does it want? Zoe struggles to come to terms with her mage powers and the leadership role her colleagues have given her. Complicating everything are all the papers that have to be graded, classes that need to be prepped, and most importantly, cats that require attention. Oh, yeah. She might actually have a boyfriend as well.
