Zaphod for President

In recent months, the debate over the existence of God has started to really heat up here in America. I for one think that this is a wonderful thing. I doubt that these debates will be effective in changing opinions and beliefs, but if nothing else, the conflict requires all parties to consider and defend […]

Many of you have emailed to tell me that I am being unfair by automatically disqualifying any candidate who voted in favor of the Iraq War or Patriot Act back in 2002. I assume you are emailing me because you lack the courage to comment and expose yourself to a public debate.
Perhaps Dennis Kucinich, […]

Chris Dodd voted in favor of the Iraq War, and in favor of reauthorizing the Patriot Act. He’s another warmongering Democrat who now regrets sending our troops to die while killing Iraqi civilians. Just like Joe Biden and Hillary Clinton, Dodd saved all of his anti-Iraq rhetoric until long after he had already enabled the […]

Joe Biden voted in favor of the Iraq War, and in favor of reauthorizing the Patriot Act. I’m not interested. As far as I’m concerned, Biden belongs in the Hillary Clinton camp of chickenhawk sociopaths.
Like Mrs. Clinton, Mr. Biden now regrets allowing George W. Bush to wage preemptive warfare against a third-world nation. Like […]

I intended to spend my day building a fence in the backyard, but was forced inside by a thunderstorm in the early afternoon. Perhaps it is for the best: after spending a few hours playing with Neo Office spreadsheets, I have begun drafting a “master plan” in regards to my personal finances.
After a few […]

Deciding what to do with extra money is a wonderful problem to have, and one I’ve been struggling with for the past few days. Today I found a great article on the Simple Dollar which addresses this very issue.
I must be on the right track. The author agrees with each of my four financial […]

It must be Saturday. Here’s another cartoon for you to enjoy: Pirates and Emperors by Eric Henry

From the website:

While critics decry the United States’ current brand of military and economic imperialism as dangerously unprecedented, great powers have been throwing their weight around like schoolyard bullies since St. Augustine’s time. This playful but pointed cartoon shows […]

For those of you too young to remember this last cartoon, perhaps you will prefer this satire from “the Simpsons”:

Back in the day, “the Simpsons” was the greatest show on television, head-and-shoulders above the rest. It was also incredibly prophetic at times, bordering on spooky. Consider Bart’s opinion of Gen X’ers like me:

We need […]

Old news: HR-1591, U.S. Troop Readiness, Veteran’s Health and Iraq Accountability Act, 2007 was recently vetoed by President Bush, dashing any hope for a speedy withdrawl of the U.S. Armed Forces currently deployed in Iraq.
In remembrance, I offer you this old “Schoolhouse Rock” cartoon:

Believe it or not, I am not an agent of the DNC blogging incognito, but rather, a right-leaning moderate thoroughly disgusted with both major parties. I fully intend to discuss each and every candidate that is seeking our approval to become the next U.S. President. I arbitrarily started with the Dems, so I would like […]
