The recent controversy surrounding the Tebow Super Bowl advertisement has given me reason to reflect on the ethics of abortion and I feel motivated to share my thoughts on the subject. Before doing so, however, I feel it necessary to disclose my absolute disdain for James Dobson and Focus on the Family. Dobson’s anti-gay rhetoric [...]
I feel like a man without a political party. This is personally very disconcerting considering that I have thought of myself as a Republican since the 1984 reelection of Ronald Reagan. Granted, at age 7, I had no idea what the substantive issues during the campaign were all about but what I did know was [...]
I am a social liberal. I support gay marriage, am an advocate of a more sensible drug policy, and, as a general rule, believe that abortion should be remain safe and legal for those who seek to obtain them. I hold these views because I am driven by a conviction that human beings are entitled [...]
Chinese Yuan ~ Angry Bear This is a great post regarding all of the noise China is making about switching reserve assets. The Yuan is pegged to the dollar and has not changed one cent this year.

I must admit that it was with a type of sick pleasure that I read the comments posted on the Daily Kos about President Obama backing off of his proposed “public option” as part of healthcare reform. It seems, nearly 10 months after his election, that many Obama supporters are now realizing that the President [...]
Every member of Congress should read this article. It is written by an Obama supporter and long-time liberal, Camille Paglia; not Rush Limbaugh, Mark Levin, or Sean Hanity. Everyone knows that healthcare is in need of some type of reform — especially for the unemployed. However, I don’t trust Congress to draw up such sweeping [...]
This past Sunday, VP Joe Biden was interviewed by George Stephanopoulos.
