Love Of Writing Or Money?

As with most of the bloggers on this site (and on other sites as well), I am trying to make a little money from writing. But it really isn’t about that, is it? Come on. Sure, we wouldn’t mind being successful writers. Big house, nice cars, maybe a yacht. Financial security. Fame. But isn’t it really... Sign in to see full entry.

Debates: Effective Or Not?

Well, I'd have to say that the debates have been quite effective for Kerry, somewhat detrimental to the Bush team. Why? According to recent polls (if you place any creedence in such things, and, if people didn't, why do they have so many of them?), there is a statistical tie among voters for their...

A Comment On David1Spirit's "This Is A Message To Blogit Voters"

In stating that the issues of the election are being buried in the crap of misdirection, misinformation, mudraking, mudslinging, innuendo, and downright lying by both political parties, this gentleman is correct. There are some very important issues at stake and the voters are beings steered clear... Sign in to see full entry.

When Bill Cosby Speaks...

Let’s hear it for Mr. Cosby. Dr. William Cosby, as it were. I, personally, delight in the man and his message, whether it be in the form of humor or in all seriousness. He is as practical and common-sensical in his dialogue as one can be. He speaks the truth (which, in all fairness, is why his humor... Sign in to see full entry.

Sex And The Senator

You know what I despise the most about politics? No, besides the politicians themselves. No, not the mudslinging, either, but that’s a close guess. It’s the muckraking and guilt by association and/or approximation. Case in point: Jack Ryan’s bid for the Senate in Illinois. The disclosure of sealed... Sign in to see full entry.

Who F**king Cares?

Alright, so he said the “f-word”. So fucking what. It seems that there is this big brouhaha over vice-president Cheney’s use of the “f-word” on the Senate floor the other day when he heatedly replied to Senator Leahy’s hypocritical opening salutation. It seems that Cheney was not happy with the fact... Sign in to see full entry.

Anti-Israeli Media Bias

It saddens me to think that most of the American press, the Fifth Estate as it were, continues to believe that we are stupid, easily led and ill-informed. Well, if this is correct, they can shoulder some of blame. And I’ll tell you why. To form well-informed opinions about topics, especially topics... Sign in to see full entry.

Inheriting The Earth -- But Who Wants It?

I don’t know about anyone else, but has anyone considered the fact that this current generation of rap-listening despondent leeches is going to one day rule the world. No, really. Those deaf kids that can’t spell their own names are going to one day have control of every conceivable facet of the... Sign in to see full entry.

On Opinions

Opinions. It seems that everybody has one (or almost everyone, anyway). Some are good, some are horrible, some lean toward the apathetic, some piggyback other opinions, but for the most part, everyone has opinions, regardless of their degrees of severity or logic. In fact, people have opinions on... Sign in to see full entry.
