Yes We Can

By Jessica, on November 4th, 2008

Here it is America. We used our voices to demand a change and boy did we demand. I couldn’t be happier to say I exercised my American right and responsibility to elect President Barrack Obama. It’s amazing to think about how far we’ve come as a country and what we’ve been through as a [...]

Economists on the bailout plan

By John, on September 23rd, 2008

A group of over 100 leading economists sent a letter to congress outlining their reservations with the proposed bailout plan. Their concerns mirror my own – I need more answers before anything is done. The full text is below

As economists, we want to express to Congress our great concern for the plan [...]

Remember, when you vote for McCain you also vote for this

Sarah Palin has only been under intense public scrutiny for a few days and boy oh boy she’s a goldmine of fun. First off, she is an advocate of abstinence ONLY education. Young adults are going to get into trouble and have sex. In an environment where abstinence is the only option and owning [...]

With Cronkite, Rather, and Brokaw gone who does America trust? Stewart

By John, on August 17th, 2008

I’m an enthusiastic fan of the Daily Show and I watch it whenever I have an opportunity. The writing is sharp, the jokes are funny, the satire is thick, and they always hit the nail right on the head. Last year, Americans voted for their most admired journalist – Stewart came in 4th. [...]

Some people are insane!

By John, on June 16th, 2008

I received this article earlier today and I’ve got to say that I think that the author is absolutely insane!
I am still amazed that closed minded people still exist – this probably comes from the same people that think that minorities are the cause of ALL of our economic and social woes. Read below for the biggest piece of crap I’ve read in the past six months. Jessica read it and is freaking out because she “Barracks the vote” I’m sure Ann Coulter’s satanic tail is twitching as she digs into this one believing that we are going to fall into a jihad in America if Obama won the general election. The reality is that she and other like her are bat-shit insane for believing this kind of crap.

Rich Carrol – I hope you don’t have children – in fact, I hope that you have a freak accident that removes your ability to breed because you are a fool.

I searched for responses to this crap and found a few gems

Man your rants got me real shook! World will end if Obama is elected! Muslims will steal my daughter and wife!! US will be forced to not drink!! UN will rule our parking lots! And other crazy crap that you know doubt have thought of too!!! Wow! Facts to back up your paranoid rant would be a real plus!! Good luck during the coming apocalyptic jihad!!! Salaam Alekum!

The only saving grace of this article is that it will only be taken seriously by those who believe that Rush Limbaugh and Bill O’Reilly are serious political commentators.

Conspiracy theory is not political commentary.

The Jihad Candidate – by Rich Carroll

Conspiracy theories make for interesting novels when the storyline is not so absurd that it can grasp our attention. ‘The Manchurian Candidate’ and ‘Seven Days in May’ are examples of plausible chains of events that captures the reader’s imagination at best-seller level. ‘What if’ has always been the solid grist of fiction. Get yourself something cool to drink, find a relaxing position, but before you continue, visualize the television photos of two jet airliners smashing into the Twin Towers in lower Manhattan and remind yourself this cowardly act of Muslim terror was planned for eight years.

Todays required reading

By John, on May 5th, 2008

Friedman and Zakaria are two of my favorite journalists/authors and they have written a pair of editorials that are definitely worth sharing.

Both editorials focus on the challenges we face as a nation and what we may see in the future. If you don’t read anything else today you should read these – and [...]

Debt

By John, on March 24th, 2008

I am not the only person that is supplementing their income with credit – it appears that America as a whole has done the same thing. We are no longer saving our income for larger purchases, we are relying on our credit to borrow as much as we can. [...]

Links!

By John, on March 12th, 2008

This is the coolest sentence I’ve read in the last two months

White women in peril The media LOVES to talk about white women in peril – they’ll spend days talking about it. I don’t remember any stories about any other type of women in peril except for younger white women. Huh… They have [...]
