Gun Violence Talk.
But the Stranger is so anti-religion that it can't post a link to the FaithsCalling effort to swamp Congressional switchboards with calls in favor of gun violence prevention measures? Too bad.

The Money You're Spending On College Tuition?.
I'm disappointed Dan posted this study without vetting it. The article is based on a report produced by an institute that is led by a faculty member at the American Enterprise Institute - a notorious conservative/libertarian think tank. Sure higher ed has its problems, but the elites would be pushing so hard to undermine it if they didn't think that ultimately their positions of control would be undermined if more people achieved a college education. The article is just part of and parcel of the continuing attack on higher ed, so often bemoaned by Goldy and others here.

Sports Riots Throughout History.
Wow, this is a terrible list. No mention of the Richard Riot in Montreal in 1955, or of the riots following the Detroit Tigers WS win. Just a bunch of stuff thrown together with no rhyme or reason. thanks Wikipedia!
