OK Bill Allowing Women Freedom of Eye Movement a Human Rights Victory

Oklahoma, long a pioneer of human rights and social justice, is poised to ratchet up another victory, this one for women’s rights.
In a bill recently sent to Governor Brad Henry for consideration, women are granted the freedom to move their eyes about as they wish, even at doctor’s appointments.
The bill SB 1878, which is [...]

Sod Is Bitterly Clinging to Guns and Religion

I’m sure by now you’ve all heard about the remarks Senator Obama made about small town Americans. As the weekend wore on for me, I watched it get twisted and over-analyized to the point of meaninglessness. This happens every time a candidate makes a statement that is even the least controversial, but oddly does not [...]



Take Your Guns to Work Day

Take Your Guns to Work Day

Every Day Is Take-Your-Guns-to-Work Day, at least in Florida
The Florida Senate just passed a very sensible measure, and it is awaiting the signature of Governor Charlie Crist. Pending approval, every worker in the state, with a few minor exceptions, can bring their guns to work every day. So long as they have [...]



The Angry White Man: Silent No More!

The Angry White Man: Silent No More!

I am intimately familiar with the Angry White Man(1), and I have been inspired by Gary Hubbell to lend a voice to this forgotten and silenced voting bloc(2). The Angry White Man is, as Gary so truthily puts it, “almost in fear of losing [his] constitutional rights through political correctness”.
This election, we have the historic [...]

Denial on Fire

Denial on Fire

Global Warming has become a perrenial argument in my family.  Whenever I’m home visiting we invariably wind up having the same argument in the kitchen..
 My dad is a Meteorologist and Air Force veteran; he along with many of his colleagues feel that certain parts of the theory are lacking, and that those things discredit the entire concept [...]



Battle of the Websites: Obama vs McCain vs Hillary

Battle of the Websites: Obama vs McCain vs Hillary

Here’s a fun little website comparison from the quasi-accurate Compete.com showing site popularity between the candidates (as of March):

Site
People
Month
Year

barackobama.com
2,011,456
-32.80%
826.50%

hillaryclinton.com
1,049,928
-28.30%
434.20%

johnmccain.com
499,951
-37.90%
709.80%

What does all of this mean? Barack has way more nerd-cred than Hillary, and the Republican spin machine hasn’t quite grasped using ‘the internets’ as an effective communication tool.



37?! In a Row?

37?! In a Row?

Barack Obama no longer has a chance to become the next President of the United States. In my book, at least.
In case you hadn’t heard or didn’t think that it was important, Obama, while campaigning in Altoona, Pennsylvania, stopped into a bowling alley to chat up the townies and further enflame racial tensions by throwing [...]

Slick Green/Crude Oil

Whether you know it or not, i’m sure you’re all familiar with the delightful trand known as Greenwashing. 
  The same way every company in America wrapped itself in the flag in the aftermath of September 11th, the last two years have seen a swell of interest and awareness in the environment.  Marketers have responded by painting the [...]

Presidential relations

You’re probably like me and thinking to yourself that this election season has been way too focused on the important issues. Why can’t it instead focus on inconsequential bullshit? Well, fortunately for us, the AP is on the job.
