Let me start this post by saying I was aware of the Sarah Palin effigy and I wasn’t amused by that. I consider it to be in poor taste and supremely ignorant on several accounts. However, the Barack Obama effigy found on the University of Kentucky campus has legitimate historical precedence as being offensive and [...]

Wading through the muck
With a mere 5 days until the election, one wonders which will be scarier Halloween or November 4.

Economic woes
I’m not even going to begin to try and explain the market, the bailout, the oversight, and whatever else might be associated with people not being able to make ends meet. I’m an excellent bullshitter, as my wife will attest, but I don’t understand enough about what’s going on to make a plausible argument for [...]
