Loading tweets...I cannot explain my fascination with the evangelical Christian community. Perhaps it’s because it’s a segment of society I have experienced from the inside and out, and at times I still feel a great kinship with the community. I especially love hearing tales of people around my age who were raised in that environment. No …

The Reply
Perhaps it’s my legal background kicking into overdrive, but when I see the word “response”, I immediately think of a pleading filed in response to a motion. As you may know, the proper way to answer a response is through a “reply”. Therefore, I felt it prudent to issue The Reply to Rick Perry’s “The …

Several outlets, including The New York Times and Washington Post, are now reporting that President Obama and Speaker Boehner may be close to a “major” budget deal. With the government staring at a potential default in less than two weeks, the officials said the administration on Wednesday night notified top members of Congress that an …

What do John Wiley Price and L. Ron Hubbard Have in Common?
Sounds like the start of a great joke doesn’t it? For those of us living in reality, the answer is rather obvious–two hucksters who were masters at brainwashing a gullible section of the population. Today, most normal people look at those suckered by Hubbard and shake their head. How could anyone actually believe that crap? …

Simple Thoughts on a Simple Problem
As we inch closer to the August 2 “debt-ceiling deadline”, I’m astounded by some of the rhetoric coming out of Washington. The problem seems relatively simple to me–our Federal government must pass a budget to function. The first step to formulating any budget is to take inventory of your income and debt. Once you’ve done …

What Drives Me Crazy About John Wiley Price
In her June 30 column, the Dallas Morning News’ Jacquielynn Floyd took on the John Wiley Price scandal rocking Dallas County. John Wiley Price makes white people go crazy. This is not going to change. It’s not his periodic outbursts of bad public behavior, as unsettling as those have been, that makes them craziest. It’s …

Hate the Game, Not the Playa Part II
If you know me, you know that I cannot stand Sarah Palin. I find her to be very shrill, annoying and, most importantly, unqualified to hold office. However, I find her unqualified to hold office based solely on her policy positions, not because of any personality traits. Palin comes off as a very kind and …

Why I’m Glad to A Political Existentialist
One of the starting points of existentialism is “existence precedes essence.” In other words, we are born man (or woman) and then define what it means to be man, through our actions. While I have some moral and ethical questions regarding existentialism on a general level, when it comes to politics, I have no problem …

Is It Really Worth It?
What I am about to write will probably piss off a majority of the folks who read it, whether they align themselves with the Democratic or Republican Party.
