NOCERA: Get angry about the gun carnage

I was out of town Dec. 14, when the Newtown, Conn., massacre took place and could only connect to my loved ones by phone. My fiancé wept uncontrollably: “I can’t imagine what it would be like to drop Mackie off at school, and never see him again,” she said, referring to our 2-year-old son.

ODLE: Let’s be careful whom we call ‘takers’

Mitt Romney’s comment about 47 percent of people being “takers”—those who generally live off the rest of the population’s efforts—reawakened me to a local version of this concept that creeps into our local discourse, that African-Americans in large numbers tend to live off the subsidies of others.

VAUGHN: Door keeps revolving at Statehouse

With Republican super-majorities in both Statehouse chambers and a newly elected governor eager to make his mark on state government, the upcoming legislative session could get controversial real fast.
