A bunch of teaching assistants University California, Santa Cruz have
just been taught a lesson. Recently, fifty four graduate student

up with the high cost of living out there. Well,

their page just got a little lower because on Friday,
scool administrators took a page from the Renauld's Magnus Handbook
of Labor unrest and fired all fifty four of these
so called assistants. University president and Democrat Party icon Janet
Napolitano said the university was sympathetic to the assistance plight

and the pressure put on them by the high cost
of housing in Santa Cruz, but she fired them anyway,
She said, a wildcat strikes not the way for them

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
