My oldest daughter turned eighteen yesterday. To celebrate (or assert her adulthood, I can’t be sure which) she went out and got a body piercing immediately upon leaving school. When she came home and showed off her new navel ring I oohed and ahhed appropriately before eyeing the redness and asking whether it hurt. She confirmed that it did, but she said it was worth it.

Safier went too far with hatred for republicans

Four years ago at this time, Rudy Giuliani looked like a shoe-in for the GOP nod. Eight years ago, Howard Dean was riding high. I ain’t making no calls this time.

Whether it’s football, soccer, cheerleading or T-ball, fall sports season is already in full swing for many youths in Arizona. Without the proper precautions, children can be vulnerable to injuries.
