As a confirmed hater of Ivy League news cycles, I worry that Rs have realized you can get incredible content from university presidents. They got their jobs, in part, by taking incomprehensible positions and talking like space aliens, and all you need to do is let 'em rip.

We found our first 'abortion trafficking' arrest in Idaho: An Idaho teen & his mom were arrested & charged for bringing his 16-year-old girlfriend to Oregon for an abortion.
