...from his high school sweetheart Sonny (Shue), informing him that she is critically ill and wants to see him before she dies. Abandoning his swiffer, he rushes to her side—but what begins as a redemptive romantic comedy turns twisted and eerie as soon as Don sets foot in his hometown.

Almost immediately upon his selection, Steele proceeded to put his foot in his mouth, selling his vision of a more pluralistic GOP in offensively stereotypical racial terminology. His greatest hits include boasting of his “off the hook” plan to reach out to “urban-suburban hip-hop settings,” offering to woo blacks into the party with “fried chicken and potato salad,” and saying President Obama’s stimulus program “is just a wish list from a lot of people...

...mind the heavy foot traffic (and the smelly lawn aeration process that is currently going on), the Yard is nice place to enjoy the temperate weather and relive your carefree freshman days. Who knows, maybe they will bring the colorful lawn chairs back! Your best bet for shade-free sun exposure is probably the often neglected patches of grass near Lamont...
