I just read a discussion where someone is generally concerned with the idea that all the channels are going to be covering this Inauguration. I felt compelled to speak more on it from my point of view.
A lot of things have...

Controversy! Yes… I’m at it again!
A few days ago a couple friends of mine were having a well mannered disagreement. One of my friends said that the Gay Right Movement is just like the Civil Rights movement of the 50’s and...

Mike Vick, star quarterback, was convicted of fighting dogs, and killing them. I listened to people call in on CNN, and rant and rave about how bad of a person he is because of what he did. America makes no sense to me, because...

Well even though Barack Obama is the Constitutional law professor, a quote like this just proves I have more understanding of the Constitution than our professor does. In Obama’s America, we will finally be able to break free of...

I'm sure that is what everyone wants to know. Here's my personal opinion... I honestly don't think that he will win. Don't get me wrong, I do think that it is awesome that he is running because he is currently making history. I...

It's an old and wise saying. And yet, for some reason, when it comes to Barack Obama, the company he keeps doesn't really matter. Hmmmmm....
Let's see, his father was a 'non' practicing Muslim and he went to a madrasa, and yet...

I've long said that Press=Participation, but this crap going on in Jena, LA takes that to the extreme.
