POLITICS: Our Boy Brown Won Boston Town!

Jan 20, 2010 No Comments by

Call everyone! Teddy gave his seat up to a Republican! It’s sad to see there will actually have to be discussion again on the senate floor about issues like health care. I wonder how such a thing could happen. After all, the Democratic nominee, Martha Coakley, was ahead by large margins only a few weeks [...]

Oct 15, 2009 No Comments by

Well, now that everyone has returned to their separate corners, let’s just have a little chat. So Obama won the Nobel Peace prize: woop-dee-doo! He’s joining the illustrious company of our greatest contemporary minds, such as Albert Gore, the father of the World Wide Web, and Jimmy Carter, the modern straw man himself. I’m so [...]

Oct 05, 2009 No Comments by

In the time following the recent General Conference of the LDS Church, I’ve had a brief moment to reflect on the question of faith and public reason. Although there has been great debate concerning the relationship between these two tools of society, there remains a great divide over which many dispute the issue from either [...]

POLITICS: My Asphalt Facial Turned Political

Sep 13, 2009 No Comments

In a fit of stupidity, I landed myself in the emergency room. It wasn’t how I expected to spend my Tuesday evening, but I guess that’s what I get for longboarding after dark down a gritty canyon trail. I sat in the Provo ER giving my personal information, waiting to be treated for my war [...]

POLITICS: Excuse My Musing (A Piece of Short Fiction)

Aug 30, 2009 No Comments

“Teddy’s gone,” the voice told Nancy Pelosi through her overpriced cellular phone. She smiled. Finally, she had another chance to rally the troops behind her blitzkrieg of a health care bill and “realize the dream” of old Teddy Kennedy. Sure the “Lion of the Senate” was gone. He was the last of one of the [...]

Aug 25, 2009 No Comments

Greetings to all you Rhombus readers. It’s wonderful to publish articles for you and hopefully it’s been interesting to read. The more articles I attempt to publish and the more feedback I get from readers, it’s become apparent that there’s a large portion that don’t agree with what I have to say. It’s not a [...]

In what has been one of the most heated and highly publicized debates in recent years, it’s been amazing to see the upheaval of public interest in health care reform.  From countless YouTube videos and dozens of newsflashes and reports of town hall protests, it’s easy to see there are a lot of people that [...]

POLITICS: Let's Get Philosophical (Part 2)

Aug 13, 2009 No Comments

Welcome back to the second part of a discussion that has been a bit philosophical and has taken somewhat of a religious turn. I’ve appreciated the comments and arguments presented in response to my previous article. It’s interesting to see the differences of opinions and the valid reasoning behind them. After discussing the case of [...]

COLUMN: Let's Get Philosophical

Aug 02, 2009 No Comments

Every once in a while, I have this strange craving to be philosophical and talk about really complicated issues. So readers beware, this installment may not be to your liking (unless you get a thrill from discussing civil rights for detainees.) On July 6th, Justice Department lawyers told courts that detainee Richard Reid will be [...]

COLUMN: "I Had A Dream"

Isn’t it interesting that, despite the countless ways the White House has interject to interject itself into our lives, President Obama still has time to stoke the fires of racial discrimination. Upon being questioned by reporters about the arrest of Henry Louis Gates Jr. (who has been a long-time friend of the President), Obama commented [...]
