Watching Betsy DeVos’ face plastered across every TV and website for weeks on end as she slogged her way to become Secretary of Education was like reliving a nightmare we’ve experienced in Michigan for years. And it’s a something that folks in Pennsylvania should wake up to as well.

by John Laurits
A calculator. A map. A credit card. Your diary, newspaper, camera, computer, TV, music collection, alarm clock, telephone, & a compass, too — just 50 years ago, would people have believed that all of that & more would soon fit in a human hand?
