Earlier today, CBS News posted a story on their website about the FCC lifting certain restrictions on apartment buildings with respect to cable services. They cite the ability for low-income folks who live in apartments or government-sponsored housing projects to have a choice in their cable provider. In other words, the ability to […]

One of my students made an excellent point in a response paper the other day. He cited Charlie Gibson on ABC World News Tonight at some point last week (may have been the week before). Apparently Gibson made the following comments:
One item from Baghdad today. The news is… that there is no […]

Unfortunately, Robert Goulet passed away Tuesday morning while he was waiting for a lung transplant in Los Angeles. I’m from a younger generation that was not around for Goulet’s impact on the American entertainment scene in the 1960’s, but I was around to hear him on contemporary media outlets and movies.
I hope to learn […]

Alright, that’s enough. Last week California was on fire. This week there is an earthquake rocking the state. For my friends and colleagues in California - get the hell out! NOW!!!
I don’t know what you did to anger God or Mother Earth or L. Ron Hubbard or whoever you guys believe […]

Honestly, I didn’t watch enough of the Democratic debate to form an opinion on the candidates that I feel strongly about, but the fact that I didn’t watch enough of the debate sort of says something. I watched the beginning of the debate (some 30 minutes or so) and was immediately turned off by […]

Earlier today I found an interesting little diddy on FOXNews.com regarding some of Al Gore’s assertions in An Inconvenient Truth. The article is written by a FOX News contributor named Steven Milloy who, by all accounts, appears to be a strong conservative in all of his policy and political leanings. So bear that […]

Earlier today, the Yankees made an offer to Joe Girardi to take over for Joe Torre in New York. This is a good move as Girardi would be a better Manager than the other top choice, Don Mattingly. Girardi has a ton of experience as a Manager as well as a host of […]

Every once in a while you find a court case that is just a complete waste of taxpayers’ money and the system’s time. From my view, the recent court case against Monmouth University to block the construction of a 196-bed dorm is a great example of waste. There was no need to go […]

The New York Times ran an article on their website the other day where they talked about Max Levchin, the Founder of PayPal (and the guy who eventually sold it to eBay). Needless to say, Levchin is filthy rich - the kind of rich that the rest of us only dream about. But […]

Alright - is everyone listening? This is a good idea alert! I was reading the Roxbury Register online the other day and they had an editorial sent in from a Ms. Tamara Scully. Ms. Scully is a member of the Foodshed Alliance. According to their website, the Foodshed Alliance:
a grassroots, non-profit […]

While I was watching Bill O’Reilly earlier he had a “Talking Points” memo about President Bill Clinton tearing apart some complete lunatic who was screaming the extremist mindset that 9/11 was an inside job. Bill O’Reilly’s compliments to President Clinton (and condemnation of Hillary) aside, I absolutely loved Clinton’s response to the whack job […]

Thanks goes to GGL for sending me this joke. Hopefully you enjoy!
