The High Price of Oil
Apr 30th
For several years now, we've been talking about oil in the United States. A significant portion of the 2008 election debate centered around oil. So often, we heard the question from conservatives, conservative-wannabes, and anyone else looking for airtime, "what's wrong with offshore drilling?" They told us how safe it is, and besides, if anything ...
Good Bye, Chase, I Wish I Would Miss You.
Mar 2nd
Dear Chase, It is with great sadness that I am forced to write you this letter. I enjoyed our relationship together for the past year. But, you see, since you took the TARP money from the taxpayers of the United States to go on a bank-buying spree, you've become so abusive to me that I began ...

A Personal Reflection About The Current Health Care Debate
Aug 24th
I looked in the mirror this morning and saw the angry mob looking back at me. I am angry, frustrated, and looking to break something. Fast. I haven't always been this way. I spent the last eight years quietly going about my business of being an American, keeping silent on so many issues: torture, Katrina, ...
