Useless Js and Offensive Soirees
The abortion issue has been in the news and on my mind in recent weeks. It’s a topic that comes up often in the radio show I help produce. And after watching a lengthy interview between Mike Huckabee and Jon Stewart on The Daily Show (which can be seen in three parts, HERE, HERE, and HERE) here are my thoughts on the issue.
Nobody wants to kill babies.
There. I said it. Read the rest of this entry »
About one year ago, two teams met in the Stanley Cup Finals – the Detroit Red Wings and the Pittsburg Penguins. After six, hard-fought games, the Detroit Red Wings won the Cup. Read the rest of this entry »
I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who is 100% satisfied with their cell phone provider. I had been happy with mine for sometime – although I’m not crazy about the phone I got – until we went over by a few minutes and were charged out the wazoo for it (”wazoo” being as descriptive as I am willing to get at this time).
Here are a few of the reasons people hate cell phone companies: Read the rest of this entry »
It has nothing to do with a disdain for Microsoft or an affinity for Matthew Perry; the reason I will never be able to use the new search engine Bing.com is because I’m immature. Read the rest of this entry »
Note to reader: Looking for something else altogether, I recently came across this satire article I wrote several months ago for a particular Web site. It was never published, so I am including it’s barely-adjusted version here.
With the preposterous suggestion that parents should be responsible for their children, 100 college presidents from around the country have proposed lowering the legal drinking age from 21 to 18. This is a hot issue for young people who want to get their drink on. Read the rest of this entry »
In my various rants, I have accused many things of destroying America – namely cell phones, texting, and 24-hour news. But this time I’m especially confident in my accusation; American Idol is destroying America. Read the rest of this entry »
On May 7th, on this very blog, I wrote a post about how members of Congress get paid ridiculous salaries.
In passing, I mentioned the idea of writing my Congressman and addressing this issue. I said, “I’m not really sure what to do about this … I mean, I know in principle how I would do it - I would write my Congressman (and never hear back) …” Read the rest of this entry »
My day job involves a lot of writing and editing. The people I work with, while very talented and intelligent people, know little about the rules of grammar. Because of this, I frequently – and gladly – explain some of the nuances of grammar to them. Doing so has brought three grammatical qualms of mine to the forefront, each having to do with the evolution of grammar, punctuation, and language. Read the rest of this entry »
My latest article to be featured on Demockracy.com can be read HERE.
This morning at the radio show I help produce, the idea was brought up that the annual salaries of U.S. politicians – specifically those in Congress – should equal the national average income. The idea is that as the national income went up, these politicians’ salaries would also increase; and as national salaries decreased, so it would be for politicians.
If this were implemented, the current annual salaries for members of Congress would drop from $174,000 to about $50,000. Read the rest of this entry »
