I went to a Catholic High School, not because I had gone to Catholic grammar school (I didn’t) and not because I or my family was particularly religious (we weren’t), but because after attending public school the first year back in the continental U.S., I was afraid I wouldn’t live through another year of it, much less three more,… Read the rest
… squeak out a primary win, making the seat a sure-fire GOP pickup in November. Hey, boys, which side are you on?
