Merry Chrismahanukwanzika? Writer feels, ‘just say Merry Christmas’
I was watching a TV commercial recently that was trying to sell “the perfect Chrismahanukwanzika gift.”

Question of the Week: Will the Hawkeyes win their bowl game?

In recent days, the news has been flooded with reports of child abductions, sexual assaults on toddlers and other heinous crimes against children. What is more disturbing in these acts against the most innocent among us is that at least three of these crimes happened within a two-hour drive of Oskaloosa, and two of them happened within an hour’s drive of the city.
