The Obama Dog.

I am more than disappointed that the First Family did not opt for a shelter/rescue dog to join them in the Whitehouse.
According to the Associated Press, the Obamas are in a “gray area” because the dog they adopted was returned to its breeder before finding its way to the Whitehouse.  In my opinion, that area [...]

Insurance Companies Keeping Us In Check

A ew years ago I had some horrible experiences with insurcance companies, here’s a few of them.
I spent the better part of yesterday back and forth between my insurance company and the doctors office absolutely bewildered at the state of healthcare in America. My foot propped up on a pillow; I remembered why I had [...]

STFU John Mayer

I’m not a big fan of people outside my profession telling me how to do it.  However, I guess that John Mayer is allowed to since I talk about musicians all the time.  I still have a problem with him, being a muscian, being allowed to blog on The Huffington Post… and yeah, it’s because [...]

Scriptina, the most overused font of 2008

Fonts are a wonderful thing, they allow people with almost no design skill to put some flare on common words.  There are thousands available for free to download and they can be used in virtually any image creation software out there.  Fonts do play an integral role in how a company or service brands themselves [...]

Debate Reactions: Jaxon on Palin

The title of this piece would make a great name for a porno.  Thankfully, it’s not.  Below you’ll find my friend Jaxon’s take on last week’s Vice Presidential debate between Senator Joe Biden and Governor Sarah Palin.  Jax isn’t a writer by trade, but he makes several relevant points with his own sense of style.  [...]

Bailouts??!!

So not only has the bush administration spent our money like a 13 year old looking for a quick sugar fix in a candy shop (mind you this 13 year old is extremely hyper yet lazy and is somewhere around 400 pounds), but now he is asking for close to $1trillion to help bailout beleaguered [...]

Seven Years in America

Last week, Mike suggested we write about our experiences with or thoughts on the events that occurred on September 11, 2001. I thought about it… where I was (Russian TA session), how old I was (freshman in college - I had just turned 18), who was affected (my roommate and dorm neighbors were from [...]

Is this election over yet?

I don’t have enough time or energy to express how tired, to the bone tired, of this election I am, and how many weeks do we have to go? Does anyone else hate listening to these horrid ads that say nothing? And the equally predictable and maddening responses to the ads? I [...]

I See “Abstinence-Only Worked for that Palin Family

Jesus. Fucking. Christ.
What the hell happened to the Republican machine? They just shot themselves in the foot with Sarah Palin. First, the internet goes ape-shit over rumors that her 4-month-old baby (FOUR MONTHS - which she is not taking care of because she went back to work three days later and [...]

I’m Insulted

Alright. I’m not big on writing political commentary, but I’m pretty pissed off. I was all about this election - the excitement of a new world order and the potential for change - but now I’m just insulted.
Dear Obama - You had SO MUCH potential to be truly revolutionary with your VP choice. [...]
