Chuck Westbrook has a great idea. Build a network of bloggers to help small blogs build traffic. The idea is that everyone will read the same blog for two weeks. Then we move on to a new blog. That two weeks gets the writer a chance to really showcase their blog and hopefully attract some [...]

I found this on a tweet from pinkcowsgomoo. This is seriously too adorable for words. Seriously. Go look at it now. Be warned, though, it may cause sighing and the least and even possible AAAAWWWWW’s at it’s cuteness. Nice Words

Every election year I come across someone supporting a flat tax plan. The way a flat tax works is everyone pays a flat tax on their gross income without any deductions, usually around 10%. On the surface, it sounds really nice. It simplifies the tax code, makes filing really easy, and everyone pays their fair [...]

You may have heard that Barack Obama has canceled two days worth of campaign events to visit his sick grandmother. If you’re a healing type, join me in sending some healing energy for her over the next couple of days. The word is that she’s deteriorated a great deal and her condition is very serious. [...]

I’ve always loved Colin Powell, and if he had run, even as a Republican, I would have voted for him. He’s a good, honorable man who follows his beliefs and ethics.

Of course, they’re running scared. Why else would you see interviews like this: Minnesota Representative Michelle Bachmann calls Obama “anti-American” for his “close association” with Bill Ayers. She also comes just short of calling anyone who is left leaning and liberal as anti-American. So I guess that makes me anti-American. Also in the segment, they [...]

Last month, John LaBruzzo, a member of the Louisiana State Legislature, put for the idea of paying women on public assistance $1,000 to have their tubes tied. He also recommended putting forth programs to pay those who are affluent to have more children. You see, Rep. LaBruzzo seems to think that poverty is genetic. That [...]

One of the most enlightening workshops I’ve attended in the last few years was a mandatory diversity workshop at my place of employment. I was prepared to be bored, because I hadn’t heard anything unique on diversity in years. This one surprised me. Our facilitator, Trula Nicolas, a Professor at Western Washington University, came at [...]
