Ask Cruz: Volume XV
Posted by Jon Cruz in the Ask Cruz categoryNEW YORK, N.Y. — Here’s a late Thursday edition of everyone’s favorite debate trivia column. (No, it’s not “Stump the Chump” on Coachean Life, or — and I realize only the Hen Hud team and the Lexington Round Robin kids will get this — Bean Trivia, either.)

Ask Cruz: Volume IX — “Happy Birthday, Bietz!” Edition
Posted by Jon Cruz in the Ask Cruz categoryNEW YORK, N.Y. — I have a confession.
