I Hadn’t Cried In A While
June 15, 2008 –
Did anyone watch Meet The Press this morning?
Man oh man. It was a tear jerker.
On Friday, when I first heard of Tim Russert’s death, I can’t say that it had much of an effect on me. One of my colleagues received a text message from her sister in Washington, passing along the news […]
A Rational Step
May 17, 2008 –
Unbelievable. A state decides that all men are, in fact, created equal, and it makes front page headlines because it’s such big news.
How can we be so righteous about racism while denying gay Americans their rights? It is shocking to me that 2 men cannot be married in this country. It’s antiquated. It’s cruel and […]
Obama Wants to RAISE YOUR TAXES!
March 26, 2008 –
Obama wants to raise your taxes. Want proof (besides the barrage of big government ideas spewing from the Democratic Party)?
Last year he didn’t contribute anything to a tax-deferred account, despite earning over half a million dollars.
From Greg Mankiw’s (awesome) blog:
A key feature of the U.S. tax system is the option to put some income […]

Inspiration: First True Job Of A Leader?
January 27, 2008 –
I heard Hillary Clinton speak a few years ago. I remember feeling inspired by what she said. I can’t even remember her message, but I remember feeling uplifted and motivated to change the world.
Hillary Clinton does not normally have this effect on me. I strongly disagree with the big-government policies that she is proposing. The […]
Romney’s advisors: “raise taxes” ???
January 26, 2008 –
We recorded the Republican debate in Florida. Did anyone else hear the mysterious whisper when Romney was asked about Reagan’s record? Very mysterious…
Watch it here.
It almost sounded like Romney’s advisers were whispering in his ear? Earpiece?
Reminded me of that little box protruding from Bush’s back 4 years ago.
Ron Paul Videos
January 23, 2008 –
Man oh man, I’m conflicted about Ron Paul. If you are interested in learning more about his positions, you simply have to watch freeme.tv. There are hundreds of hours of footage, including interviews, speeches, debates, commercials, and fan creations.
I would highly recommend watching the interview held on Google’s campus on July 13. […]
Goodbye Paul, Hello Romney?
January 22, 2008 –
I’ve been doing some thinking about Ron Paul lately. I agree with many of the principles that he stands for, but there are several trouble spots that prevent me from getting fully behind his candidacy.
My Problems With Ron Paul’s Platform:
Racist comments made in newsletters published under his name in the 80’s and 90’s. (related […]
Ron Paul a bigoted conspiracy theorist?
January 21, 2008 –
Thanks to Marc Andreesen, I finally got around to reading the New Republic piece on Ron Paul’s old newsletters, which contain all sorts of bigotry and conspiracy.
A few excerpts:
This newsletter describes Martin Luther King Jr. as “a world-class adulterer” who “seduced underage girls and boys” and “replaced the evil of forced segregation with the evil […]
Married People: Read This Article
January 12, 2008 –
Last night, around 4 am, I stumbled upon “Can’t We Talk?” by Deborah Tannen. Tannen explains some common differences between the way men and women communicate.
I found myself shaking my head a lot, and laughing.
Excerpt:
Information vs. Feelings.
A cartoon shows a husband opening a newspaper and asking his wife, “Is there anything you’d like […]
Here’s Why I Support Ron Paul
January 10, 2008 –
I am a big fan of Ron Paul. I like his ideas and his passion. But some of his stances are a bit extreme. Here’s a quick rundown of his platform and where I stand.
Feel free to share any thoughts in the comments section!
A. The Constitution: I once read somewhere […]
My Family’s Predictions for 2008
January 1, 2008 –
At dinner tonight, we went around the table and made some predictions about 2008. I can’t wait to see if any of these come true.
M: The Redskins will win the Super Bowl
J: Mother Theresa will be canonized (made a saint).
C: Terrorists will blow up America, or global warming will wipe out everyone.
D: John McCain will […]

Almost.

Straight from the Horse’s Mouth
December 6, 2007 –
I don’t want to be one of those libertarians who thinks his shit doesn’t stink. But I simply cannot believe what is happening.
Here’s the deal: a plan is being circulated that would freeze the “starter” interest rates for certain borrowers for 5 years. The plan claims to weed out speculators by requiring that […]
Why Should I Have To Pay?
December 5, 2007 –
Will someone please explain to me why the government should fund a bailout for people who made stupid financial decisions? Why should I have to pay?
When I saw that Hilary Clinton was proposing such a move, I added to my long list of “Despite Wanting a Woman To Be President, Here Are My Reasons I […]

You’re Trying To Tell Me Gays WON’T Burn In Hell?
May 11, 2007 –
Today, Rudy Guiliani announced his support for abortion rights, gun control, and gay rights. New York Times coverage here. Is it possible that a Republican with a brain can win the nomination?
I doubt it.
It will be very difficult to get past the 60% of Republicans that believe homosexuals will burn in Hell. […]
It’s About Time
May 4, 2007 –
Yesterday, New Hampshire lawmakers passed a bill allowing civil unions for gay and lesbian couples. It’s about time.
I still don’t understand why people insist on drawing a line between the terms “civil union” and “marriage.” It’s like we’re saying: “we’ll give you the rights you deserve, but don’t expect us to say it’s normal […]
