I love the Olympics! I can’t wait for it to come again – summer or winter, I love em both. To me, the Olympic games epitomize what’s great about the American ideal: sacrifice, competition, commitment, reward. These athletes put more time in training that we do in our 9-5’s, living on a dream to become…

What a farce
I came across an article that just happen to discuss three of my favorite pet peeves (global warming, UN, and wealth distribution). How in the world could I NOT comment on it! The myway.com site was putting up an AP article (press to read) that, in a nutshell, says that the UN feels America should…
Environmental Mis-conceptions
I came across a press statement release by the Hudson Institute http://www.hudson.org that I found interesting, relating to one of the pet peeve’s I have towards the whacko liberal left. Among other elements, the statement says: A new analysis of peer-reviewed literature reveals that more than 500 scientists have published evidence refuting at least one…
NPR, PBS, and your money

For a long while, I had thought of the party system as one of the problems with our…
Convienent Lies?
I was wandering around on the site of a favorite author of mine, James P. Hogan, when I came upon a link to an article put out last year by Marlo Lewis, a Senior Fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute, in response to Al Gore’s “documentary, ” An Inconvenient Truth. You can find that article…
What kind am I?
I thought I’d use my first post to illustrate what you’ll most likely be hearing from me going forward. In his post on July 24th, 2007 (What Kind of Republican Are You), Marc gives us a link to a site that asks us a series of questions that are designed to illustrate the type of…
