  • Libya

    Lately the news has been flooded with reports of riots and the storming of embassies, particularly in the Middle East. Questions of whether to continue or withhold aid are taking the forefront of the talks. And whatever your political, religious, or personal stance is, we must remember something. Just because a select group committed a…

    Standing at Attention

    I’ve never been in the military. The only time I ever really stood at attention was for marching band. I was in color guard, so I guess I never stood at a real attention—3rd position is a little weak for that. I was a freshman. The rest of us were already on the concrete practice…

  • Healthcare Reform: The Document

    Alright. So now that we have all gotten over our initial emotions (hopefully) of the approval of “Obamacare” or whatever you prefer to call it, I have seen many people griping about other people making opinions without knowing what they are talking about.

  • Some People

    It’s the first day back from Spring Break. Ugh. And this is how I feel about it… Which then just makes me gripe about stuff… Some politicians are phony—(ok, maybe all of them, but that doesn’t fit the scheme). Some doctors are arrogant– they shouldn’t have such God-complexes. Some waiters are rude. Some moms are…
