To the TABOR II protesters…
Filed Under Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Commentary, Uncategorized | 2 Comments
Dear TABOR II protester woman I just heard on the radio,
You just said that you are from Colorado (the only other state that has a TABOR) and that it doesn’t work there. The reason that you cited is because you have “groups” that are at odds with each other and they shouldn’t be. They are [...]

Question One
Filed Under Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Commentary, Writing | 2 Comments
Vote yes on question one and lets continue to discriminate against those not exactly like us! In fact, I think that next year we should work towards revoking other rights given to those dirty minorities that we didn’t get a chance to vote on! Slavery here we come! You Somalis didn’t think that we welcomed [...]

The Randomness of Nothing At All

Nothing to say.
At least, that’s what you would think of me for the last six months or so. In reality I’ve had plenty to say, I’ve simply had far too little time to say it. So, while I’ve got some free time right now, I think I’ll pour my mind out in somewhat of a [...]

Farm Subsidies
Filed Under Politics, Reading Suggestions, Social Commentary, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I’ve never been a fan of U.S. farm subsidies. The idea of paying farmers to grow or not grow certain crops has always seemed directly contradictory to a capitalist economy but now I have even more of a reason to oppose these subsidies.
Here is a really great article from the New York Times that [...]

S.30 – Hope Offered through Principled and Ethical Stem Cell Research Act
Filed Under Politics, Reading Suggestions, Uncategorized | Leave a Comment
I’m a little disappointed to say that both Maine Senators, Olympia Snowe and Susan Collins voted ‘yay’ for S.30 which effectively bans forevermore stem cell research. At first glance this looks like a bill in support of Stem Cell research but since it was sponsored and fully supported by Republicans you can likely guess that [...]

The Response from Mexico and the Many Ways I’d Like to Tell Mexico to Bite Me
Filed Under Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Commentary, Writing | Leave a Comment
I’m just baffled at the response from Mexico about our steps to protect our borders. I’m going to quote an entire article and place my comments throughout the text. The original story can be found here.
MEXICO CITY – The Mexican government pledged on Tuesday to file lawsuits if U.S. National Guard troops detain immigrants amid [...]

California Assembly Bill 2193
Filed Under Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Commentary, Writing | Leave a Comment
Californians…are these people really Americans or a large type of vegetable? There is rarely a day that goes by when I don’t read a story about California that makes me throw my hands up in defeat.
Today, I read about California Assembly Bill 2193 – the California Teen-Tanning Ban. This new law states that it is [...]

Kerry Might Run for President Again?
Filed Under Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Commentary, Writing | Leave a Comment
What is he stupid? I read a nice little piece of drivel on MSNBC tonight about Kerry considering a run for President in 2008. I’ve got news for you John, there’s only one reason you even came close:
55,949,407 Americans hate George W. Bush
None of my liberal friends voted for him because they really liked him. [...]

Election Story ‘04
Filed Under Non-Fiction, Politics, Social Commentary, Writing | Leave a Comment
The election is over. Did we win? Did we lose? I suppose a little of both. There were many inspiring races that could provide the spark of change in the future politics of America. Conversly, there were many ballot initiatives that passed or failed that truly made me sad. If nothing else, this election season [...]
