June 13, 2007 – 8:06 am

Cell Phone Rant #209

March 24, 2007 – 1:48 pm

I have to admit, I’m a heretic.
I’m a modern Luddite.
I really felt the brunt of my deviation from society when I attempted to simply pay for a purchase at Radio Shack (actually, I get that feeling most of the time when I venture into Retailia, Generica). My doe-eyed little checker asked who was my [...]

November 18, 2006 – 2:22 pm

I’ve been repulsed by the extreme push by CCN to put out a bilious, hate-filled program by Glenn Beck, EXPOSED: The Extremist Agenda. Last week his meme-supporting stunts included questioning whether a newly elected Keith Ellison (D-MN) - who is a Muslim - if he was “working with our enemies”.But more disturbing to me is [...]

Democracy in America is threatened today. Increasingly, ordinary citizens have lost their influence over law-making and public policy, because candidates must raise huge sums to run for office, and because our elected representatives - often concerned about financing their next campaign – tend to follow the bidding of big donors rather than the true [...]
