Since the Iraq invasion in 2003, Americans and politicians alike have wondered when the war would be complete. Defeat was never an option or even a part of the equation. The war carried a predetermined fate of victory already achieved. Our resolve to protect freedom’s life and virtue in the dawn of a new age […]

Unemployment Rates

Recently, the government released the latest unemployment statistics and the numbers were not good. Currently, our nation has an unemployment rate of 5.7% (economists were expecting 5.6%). This was the seventh straight month of increasing unemployment and it is also a 4 year high. These are not good statistics considering the rising costs of living […]

McCain Attacks

Well, it’s nothing new to see a Presidential candidate weather various storms of negativity and character attacks from all sides, but I have recently run across a specific attack on McCain which I thought deserved some attention. Of course the price of energy (oil) has long been on the minds of our country and rightfully […]

I just read an interview with House Speaker Nancy Pelosi over at CNN.com and the content tweaked my internal alternative thinking process. The lead for the story was a statement she made about George Bush being “a total failure.” It is a great sound bite to get your name and story in the headlines during […]

Satirical Dumbness

As always, I began my day yesterday surfing the news and ran across something provocative to write about. The New Yorker magazine published its latest issue with a “satirical” caricature on the front cover. If you haven’t heard or seen it yet, it’s a depiction of Barack Obama with his wife Michelle in an unappealing […]

Coffee Crimes & Castle Walls

I’m going to write about a product today that I ran across while surfing this morning. It doesn’t appear to be a “brand spanking new” product like the release of the 3G Apple iPhone today, but it seems to have reappeared for whatever reason. I’m even going to throw in an image, how do you […]

I have decided to write today’s article about a movie that I rented today and watched, “Drillbit Taylor.” Now of course I will fill you in a bit about the basic premise of the movie and give you my feelings on it. The basic ideas of the movie revolve around a couple of kids heading […]

Lawful Waste of Time

I noticed a story online the other day regarding a ruling by a federal appeals court that got me to thinking. The ruling determined that the US Treasury was violating the law with the current monetary notes. Now, I don’t know the complete history of our paper currency in how it was designed and created, […]

  Since the Industrial Revolution, our world’s society has focused on being more efficient. Produce more products to serve larger quantities of people at a lower cost per part. We need to lower the cost of manufacturing to increase the profit margin per item. We need to create high volumes of goods to compensate for […]

Manipulatory

Yes, that is not a word and I meant for it to be that way. As you might think, I like to do things a little different than the norm. Today’s article is going to be about a commercial my wife brought to my attention. I guess you can say I’ve had a little influence […]
