An Asshole’s Explanation of Politics: The Basics
I was born in 1982 so I’ve voted in 3 Presidential Elections. I only took the time to pay attention to issues in the most recent, 2008 election. I was much happier in 2000 and 2004 when I didn’t know what the hell I was talking about. Today I get into two completely separate types [...]

Some Advice to Occupy Wall Street
It seems like the Occupy Wall Street movement has been getting beat up, lately, by the cops, the media, and conservative politicians. They have a bit of an image problem. When Average Joe Taxpayer cracks open a beer and turns the channel to his favorite right-wing propaganda outlet, all he sees are some lazy, know-it-all, [...]

A Beaten Man through Gifford, Egypt
Not that I don’t appreciate the media telling me stories that are significant. Not that world news isn’t important. It certainly isn’t anything against the people the stories are about. I think its time, even though I promised I wouldn’t do so, to make something apparent that I guess the media seemed to miss. This [...]
Rant: Jaun Williams, This is for You
Juan Williams, a man I respect. NPR decided to fire him as a senior anaylist because on Bill O’Reilly he said it makes him nervous to see Muslims on an airplane because they are in garb and are identifying themselves first. This is how he feels. Should he hide his opinion just because it’s about [...]
Openly Serving Military in a Super Way
