Ex-Senator Rick Santorum runs for Pres. again. Will Dan Savage crank up his act again?

By Pablo Fanque, National Affairs Ed.

Rick Santorum is officially running for President again!

Will his Frothy problem return? Maybe...Dan Savage is not sure. (more details--> http://www.motherjones.com/…/rick-santorum-2016-dan-savage-… ).

Regrets - by Mark Twain and Ray Bradbury

Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things that you didn't do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. - Mark Twain

You've got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down. - Ray Bradbury
