If you’re just waking up and still haven’t opened Facebook or gone right to a news site (I know, Tridigest is the first thing you look at in the morning…), you probably haven’t seen the latest twist in the Lance Armstrong doping saga. According to a report in the New York Times, Lance is considering [...]
The Boston Marathon Bombings happened. They were real and affected our nation deeply.
