Sticks and Stones
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007So, apparently an editorial in the Rocky Mountain Collegian (a college newspaper) stirred up the pot a bit. Who knew saying "FUCK BUSH" would get up people's ire? Well, I agree. FUCK BUSH, indeed. Now, the CSU (Colorado State University for my California friends) College Republicans are calling for the editor David ...
The meaning of information
Friday, June 29th, 2007With Wednesday night's revelation on The Daily Show about conservative wiki Conservapedia, I got to thinking. My first thoughts were "inane", "stupid", and something along the lines of "catastrophically without factual merit." The more I thought about it though, the more I started thinking that Conservapedia has a point, but ...
TJX Fallout
Saturday, May 5th, 2007As many of you may have recently read, the super-retailer behind TJ Maxx and Marshalls lost control of a ton of personally-identifiable customer information like credit cards and social security numbers through their own lax security procedures. I firmly believe that "we'll get around to it" and "it's not that important" ...
Someone is a Moron
Thursday, February 15th, 2007Jack McCallum thinks that Tim Hardaway is a moron. I don't disagree.

A Thought on Foreign Oil
Thursday, June 29th, 2006I believe energy policy in this country needs to change. I believe government at every level from Federal down to the local municipalities should be pushing and promoting development of cleaner energies. I will do my part, and this is how: At the polls; I will give significant weight to candidates running ...
“Choose Life” License Plates
Friday, March 17th, 2006Today, the 6th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the state of Tennessee over its controversial "Choose Life" anti-abortion license plates. That is, the court allows Tennesee to sell the plates on first ammendment grounds. For the record, I am pro-choice. At first glance, I was appalled at the ...
On Irony
Tuesday, November 1st, 2005From CNN - Conservatives enthusiastic... "I expect the Judiciary Committee to conduct a fair and dignified hearing in a timely manner, followed by an up or down vote by the Senate," said Sen.
