Yesterday, Gov. Blagojevich named Roland Burris to take Barack Obama’s Senate seat. Now, with all of the attention that Gov. Blagojevich has received in regards to trying to sell the Senate seat, I am amazed that Rolan Burris is accepting the nomination. The Secretary of State of Illinois has already said that he will not [...]

In the spirit of the holidays, I’ve decided to focus today’s post on something a bit different: Christmas Gifts. Well, not really gifts as much as gift. I came across an article about a son who is giving his mom a kidney for Christmas. Every year, I give out gift cards to my parents that [...]

As you have heard by now, Rev. Rick Warren was tapped by Barack Obama to deliver the invocation at the Presidential Inauguration and it has caused quite a stir among the gay community and advocates for gay marriage. Rev. Warren was very much for Prop. 8. Not to mention, as Rep. Barney Frank put it, [...]

Okay, now this is just sickening. According to the Associated Press, 1.6 billion dollars of the bailout money is going to pay the salaries and bonuses like the use of company jets and country club memberships. The money was accepted by 600 different executives from 116 different banks. My stance on bailing out banks and [...]

The Puppet Master Well, the Puppet Master is acting above the law… again. At the end of Bush’s presidency, both his and the Puppet Master’s records are to be turned over to the National Archives, thanks to the Presidential Records Act. Apparently, this is one of those crazy Constitutional things that the Puppet Master [...]

… and he didn’t cuss. I learned that he does a six and a half minute mile and he’s dying to talk to the people of Illinois! I like how Blagojevich spoke to the press telling them that he will talk to them soon. However, isn’t that what he was doing? Well, the video is good for [...]

I know it sounds unbelievable, but there have been a couple times in my life when I have been around other people who did not want me near them. Mainly, this was in elementary school, as I was that student in the minority for two things: I lived with my actual parents (they divorced later [...]

I know that for the past year we have all been waiting, eagerly, for the end of an era: The Barney Cam. Every year, the poor acting of President Bush and his cabinet members are all wrapped up into one video staring Barney the dog, not the annoying purple dinosaur, as he trots around the [...]

I seem to find stranger articles on the weekends. Perhaps it’s due to slow news. Instead of talking about President Bush dodging a pair of size 10 shoes that were thrown in his direction during a press conference in Iraq, I’m going to start this Monday discussing one article that had me a bit confused [...]

Okay, now I am not a Palin fan. I know, it’s a shocker isn’t it? I also have my issues with the evangelicals and their close-mindedness. However, when I read about the Wasilla Bible Church catching on fire, I thought it was fucked up. This is the church that has received a lot of attention [...]
