Net neutrality is an issue that is near and dear to my heart.  I live in a small town in Central Illinois where I only have two choices when it comes to broadband internet: Mediacom (cable) and Verizon (ADSL).  There is virtually no competition, and since I work out of my house over the internet, [...]

How many of you watched the 60 minutes special on Barack Obama and John McCain tonight (Sunday September 21st)?  I sure did, and I saw two very interesting things.
First, I heard John McCain lie through his teeth and say that he’s been watching Sarah Palin’s career, and that he picked her because he respected her [...]

So for some reason the McCain campaign sent me an email inviting me to a rally they had at Lambeau Field yesterday.  This email is so terribly designed it looked like someone in MS Works could have come up with it in a matter of minutes.  They even had clipart quality US-flag banner trim at [...]

Hello folks.  I’m sure many of you are well-aware of my general dislike for copyright, but particularly as it relates to restricting private individuals.  Well tonight I got a spam email from one of these do-it-yourself business scammers, and it seems like this is a real company.  For some reason these idiots thought that I [...]

So I got the idea for this post from someone who I actually disagree with on a number of issues, but I agree that she did have a good idea in defining your positions. I don’t like labels, and I don’t know if I would say “liberal” is the right one for me because [...]

Here’s an interesting news video about how John McCain’s economic Advisor Phil Gramm helped to create the framework for the existing mortgage forclosure crisis.

Just another display of how John McCain is utterly clueless when it comes to the economy and helping average middle-class folks.

So, I watched both conventions ad nauseam this past week.  I’m sure most of you can tell who I support already, but one thing I must remark on is the noticeable lack of substantive discussion of the issues at the Republican National Convention.  I thought they did a great job of quoting scripture and talking [...]

I just wanted to post a really quick little comment, I’m feeling really bad about a previous post I made about Sarah Palin.  As it turns out, I’ve misunderstood what exactly Sarah Palin meant with her pit bull joke.  It’s really easy to see what she really meant if you listen to the remainder of [...]

So, this is a short post about a humorous thing Sarah Palin said in her speech tonight.  Just the one line that I find pretty offensive and ignorant.
Sarah Palin rhetorically asked what the difference between a hockey mom and a pit bull was, and she answered the question with “lipstick.”  Boy do I have problems [...]
