Let's be honest. There ARE a couple good reasons to hate the U.S.

I spend the world’s most ridiculous amount of time driving. Okay, I’m sure a lot of people spend more time on the road than I do. But most people who drive for hours every day get paid for the hassle. But I digress… Here’s the gig: I listen to a...

The Spiritual Gift of Sarcasm

2008-03-12T03:37:18Z

I’m not one to take bits and pieces out of the Bible and leave the rest behind. In my opinion (or, more importantly, the way I understand the Bible’s teachings), you take it all or skip the whole thing. But, I gotta tell ya…I think Paul missed s...

What Really Causes War?

2008-03-11T03:35:18Z

I rolled out of bed at 5:30 this morning to finish a homework assignment I was too lazy to finish last night. Had to write a report on the ethnic migration patterns of people groups in the former Soviet Union after the collapse of the USSR. Don’...

The Caffeine/Suger Combo

2008-03-08T04:38:31Z

To all you men, I only have this to say:

2006-11-14T01:51:30Z

I spent the weekend in North Carolina with two chics who embody all that I'm told makes the female species great. They're cute, fun, smart sense of fashion, and they like to shop. At malls. Then there's me. I've been told that I'm a shame to my ...

I just need lip gloss, okay?

2006-09-18T21:56:35Z

Torn Worlds Apart

2006-09-07T22:06:04Z

This world traveler is back from the craziness of two weeks abroad that included visits to Italy, Israel and Palestine (with a few hours spent in Prague during a layover). Italy was the first place in Europe I've visited where I could say without...

Why Voters Don't Care

2006-08-08T22:18:07Z

Voter apathy. We hear about it every election cycle. We - referring to strange people like me who are drawn to policy and politics - preach against it. What's the cause? Some say lack of knowledge or education, others the prevalent feeling that o...
