Lady Gaga is back doing a gig with the Muppets. The superstar and those loveable furry friends have shot a Christmas TV special for ABC, set to air this holiday season. This is not Gaga’s first outing with the Muppets. Kermit was her date at the 2009 MTV Video Music Awards, and Jim Henson’s Creature Shop provided props for Gaga’s “The Monster Ball” tour in 2010.

Originally, Lady Gaga was even supposed to have a cameo in “The Muppets” movie with Jason Segel and Amy Adams in 2011, but her part was cut when the film ran too long.

No, colleges should not pay student-athletes
As a former college instructor, I just don’t buy it. If they are to be paid employees, drop the pretense of them being students. And then there is no reason for them to be provided with room and board.

America must end its dependence on fossil fuels. Stop the Willow oil-drilling project.
We should be taking steps to reduce oil drilling, with a carbon-fee-and-dividend plan and eliminating subsidies to the oil, natural gas and coal industries.
