Resignations at the top

Good is at an upswing in this country with the resignations of Karl Rove and Alberto Gonzales. They are dropping like flies now. Everyone is so desperate to leave a sinking ship before they drown in it themselves. But I ask you can we, as a country, really be happy about all of this? I've been... Sign in to see full entry.

Absurdity and Imus

It's pretty sad when Rutgers basketball player Kia Vaughn can sue Don Imus for detriment to her reputation for his somewhat innocuous statement of calling them "nappy-headed hoes" and that is supposed to be some benchmark for the fight against racism. I do believe that at times some of these radio... Sign in to see full entry.

Gray area

I fear I'm not sure whether to say that Good has gained a point or if we're just back to being even with this new piece of news. Kevin Federline has FINALLY decided to take action to get those kids out of the very incompetent hands of their mother which I am holeheartedly on board with. The last... Sign in to see full entry.

Macroeconomics

I've encountered so many people here in New York that say my optimism and hope in humanity is naive. I've overheard my boss at several occasions say that in this world everyone is out for themselves and themselves alone and that's just the way it is. But I’m sorry I just can't accept that. I don't... Sign in to see full entry.

Greater Purpose

I woke up last night and dealt with a bout of insomnia. It happens to me sometimes. Insomnia in and of itself is not the abscense of sleep but sleep interrupted, in case you didn't know. I left my bed not wishing to disturb my partner who was blissfully dreaming the night away and ventured out into... Sign in to see full entry.

Modern Ethics

I am no ethics professor, in fact I am no teacher at all. I am simply a girl with a degree in theatre from NYU who was raised by a history teacher mom and a father who, well I'm not really sure what to call what he did, but basically his job was to scout locations to build affordable housing in one...
