Today isn’t just about having the day off or backyard barbeques. Today isn’t about sales at the local home improvement store or discounts at the local car dealership. Today is a day to take pause so that we can remember and thank the men and women of the armed forces who have put their lives [...]

My thanks to the 16 members of the Armed Services Committee who voted for the repeal of DADT. A special thanks for Sen. Collins for going against the current and being the only Republican in the committee to do so. The House of Reps also voted to repeal this policy and it will now move [...]

There’s been an endless supply of material as of late and I haven’t posted a damn thing in the past week. Well folks, I was pissed off with the direction that the health care debate has taken that I had fled to Canada. Okay, not really on the pissed off part. However, I did end [...]

It is a rarity for me to post about the same subject two days in a row, however my thoughts still remain with the death of Officer Johns and this will be pretty brief. As you are probably aware, the museum closed its doors and lowered its flag to half-staff in honor of Officer Johns, [...]

I was sickened to hear the news of a shooting at the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum that left Stephen T.
