Maverick – Noun
The word maverick is being thrown around quite a bit, and I feel that it is important to look at the origination and evolution of the word. Dictionary.com defines a maverick as 1) an unbranded calf, cow, or steer, especially an unbranded calf that is separated from its owner. 2) a lone dissenter, as [...]
And Now For Something Completely Different – Obama Convention Speech Drinking Game!
Even though I feel that everyone out there should be listening closely to Obama’s speech closely, I understand that there may be people who are suckered into watching the speech against their will. This one goes out to my Republican friends who are going to make me suffer when they force me to watch McCain’s [...]
The Inevitable Run to the Center.
As I was driving into work this morning, I heard my morning radio show complain about how Barack Obama is moving towards the center in regards to abortion rights. Now I do not agree with Obama’s stance, but the greater portion of my brain was devoted to the fact that we are now starting to [...]
Fun times at the DMV
It should come as no surprise to anyone that the Department of Motor Vehicles provides one with a good cross section of the human condition, indeed you can…and will…see all types.

An Interesting Thought
Thankfully I stumbled upon an interesting Livejournal post today concerning “Fighting the war against radical Islam.” The poster writes: “McCain must present a strategy to defeat the threat of radical Islam” says Brent Bozell, in an op ed in today’s Washington Post, here: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/03/07/AR2008030702845.html?hpid=opinionsbox1, encapsulating ably the conservative viewpoint of this election, and of the [...]
You know what I just noticed?
The presidential race looks somewhat similar to last years Salt Lake mayors race…now hear me out on this one. Hillary Clinton is Jenny Wilson, no not because they are both women, but rather because they were destined to win right from the get go only to loose soundly. Both candidates walk(ed) around with a swagger, [...]
Iowa votes for change
Last night the nation witnessed something interesting; voters, from both political parties mind you, voted for change over experience. Let us start with the Republicans: By choosing Mike Huckabee over Mitt Romeny, voters overwhelmingly went with the dark horse candidate. Now many factors entered into this particular win and Huckabee should be wary of himself [...]
