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 [...]

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 [...]

So I’m going to be hosting a barbecue with a changed up fare in hopes to encourage folks to vote for a change.  If a lazy bearded geek from Central Illinois can host a barbecue, can’t you?
If you’re crazy like me and you’d like to barbecue pizza it’s pretty simple.  You’ve gotta find a good [...]

So, I’ve been looking for a story I saw on WCIA 3 news (my local CBS affiliate) about a group of veterans who are bullying a school in which students recited the pledge of allegiance in Spanish.  In my searching–I couldn’t find the story itself, sorry–I found many links to ImmigrationWatchdog.com, so I decided to [...]

So I just now had a comment on an ancient post from someone who has stated that the constitution makes the United States of America the greatest country in the world.  I’d just like to take issue with that for a moment, and point out some of the flaws that are so apparent in this [...]
