Planned Parenthood’s press release (9/16) about its award to the late Senator Frank Lautenberg reflects PP’s constant campaign of euphemism, doubletalk, and evasion to avoid talking about its central goal: expanding its abortion business and getting you, the taxpayer, to pay for it. Using phrases like “women’s health” and “leadership,” PP tries to dodge the […]

Recently, I picked up a malware that literally shut down and locked out my computer. The way I picked up this malware is by going to a site to pick out clipart. It went by the name of “NRAPRISM” or “GREENDOT” malware. To anyone who has never experienced malware, one can become very intimidated and […]

Friday the 13th usually stirs anxieties in many people. It is also known as Triskaidekaphobia or fear of Friday the 13th. I tossed in this big word to show that I am an 8th grade graduate.
