Curb Your Catholicism

Last Sunday, I had the pleasure of sitting down and watching a new episode of my favorite television show of all time Curb Your Enthusiasm. The episode was about several different things including women who wear shirts showing off a less than flattering midriff, not scooting over to make room for someone at the dining [...]

Instant Karma! (is gonna get you)

Is it me or is everyone today a complete and total asshole? I feel like literally everywhere I go, from restaurants to stores to anything where you have to deal with some sort of employee, that person couldn’t be more rude and non-caring about helping the customer with what they need. This seems to be [...]

Captain America

Please watch in full.

The woman at my polling place asked me do I believe in equality for gay and lesbian people. I was pretty surprised to be asked a question like that. It made no sense to me. Finally I asked her: what do you think I fought for in Omaha [...]

Pure Bug Beauty

In light of all the “hubbub” and excitement surrounding the release of the new film “Sherlock Holmes” starring the very talented Robert Downey Jr, and the less talented yet still enchanting Rachel McAdams and Jude Law, I wanted to bring up an interesting fact about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle (the creator of the literary giant [...]

Grow Up and Blow Away

Color me offended.
I made the horrible mistake of paying $10 tonight to see “The Invention of Lying” with a friend of mine. Not only was this a mistake on the surface (this movie was a level of shitty that a public toilet smack dab in the middle of Mexico city couldn’t imagine) but it also [...]

The Subtle Racism in America

Part Two: Attempting to Delegitimize Barack Obama’s Presidency
Holding the office of the President of the United States of America is a position that grants you the utmost respect in the world, quite literally. This doesn’t mean everybody loves you and this certainly doesn’t mean everybody agrees with you (including up to 49% of the country [...]

Something So Right

“For example, in the United States some 40 percent of the population doesn’t believe in Evolution (and) believes that the world was created within the last 10,000 years. That’s an educational disgrace and those people, the majority of them couldn’t possibly believe that if they were exposed to the evidence.” – Richard Dawkins

Educate yourself

The Subtle Racism in America

Part one: Mexican Immigrants and the American Economy
Aside from healthcare (which hopefully we’ll eventually get to) one of the hot button issues of the last year in American politics has been that of illegal immigration. No one has been more outspoken on this issue than CNN host Lou Dobbs on his show Lou Dobbs Tonight. [...]

Couldn’t Pour Piss Out of a Boot with Instructions on the Heel.

Well, if you’re teetering on the edge of killing yourself because you have lost complete faith in your fellow countrymen as well as everyone else around you, do NOT watch this video.
If you’re like me, and you’re ALWAYS on the brink, and you love to feed the fire with digusting examples of why our country; [...]

It Turns Out, We’re All Just Screwing Ourselves

by Josh Potter
In the September issue of The Atlantic, David Goldhill wrote an article entitled “What Washington Doesn’t Get About Health Care”, which was a fascinating and sweeping (roughly 12 pages) analysis of his perception of where this country’s health care woes originated. While the whole thing was informative and interesting, one section in particular [...]
