POLITICS: Arizona's Public Option

Sep 22, 2009 No Comments

Critics of health care reform, specifically of the public option, often point fingers at “socialized” countries and complain that they don’t want the government running their lives, both of which are logically unsound. Besides the fact that these “socialized” countries have better health care results for less money, opponents of real reform still refuse to [...]

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: The Art Of Brainwashing

The President of the United States continued his mission of making the nation a socialist (if not fascist-communist) country, following the path of Hitler. At least that’s what you would think having listened to some of the parents outraged that the president was going to make an [...]

“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 26, 2009 No Comments

In lieu of a Song of the Day for August 25th, I felt it more important to honor a fallen legend. Massachusetts Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, or “Teddy” as he came to be affectionately known, was referred to as “the Lion of the Senate” and was one of only two men to stand for election [...]

POLITICS: Glenn Beck, Mormons and Political Correctness

Aug 23, 2009 No Comments

There’s a little too much love for Glenn Beck in Utah. I mean, I get it: He has an endearing story. He has overcome an addiction to alcohol and gone from a small radio program in Kentucky to CNN Headline News to the news source you can always count on, Fox News. He’s also very [...]

Aug 13, 2009 No Comments

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.
