Class warfare
(Preview)
Has anyone else noticed that class has been prominently figured in this election? The candidates are always talking about the middle class, the poor, the rich, etc. Every time Obama speaks I am frustrated, because you shouldn't be jealous of the rich, you should want to become rich and have the oppor...

Debates
(Preview)
Did anyone watch the debates? What did you think? I must admit burnout over the whole political process right now. In the campaign between the two major parties, it seems that truth doesn't matter a whole lot. Also, what do you think of the "Joe the Plumber" topic, which was a focus of this la...

Criticism of Michelle Obama
(Preview)
Barack Obama says that he's infuriated by criticism of his wife, saying that people should debate him, not her. Yet she has made many campaign appearances for him, sometimes alone. What do you guys think? Are candidates spouses fair game? And what about from an LDS viewpoint, where we try to criticis...

Buzzword-itis
(Preview)
I realized today as I accidentally caught a glimpse of someone's cover letter to their resume that I'm really tired of buzzwords. Their cover letter talked about how well they worked "in the trenches". Then I realized that the current election cycle has made me really, really tired of buz...

Debt
(Preview)
I've been hearing some shocking things as this "credit crunch" has progressed. I'll admit up front that I haven't always been as zealous as I should about avoiding debt. But some of the things I've been hearing are shocking. For instance, there are businesses that use lines of credit to ma...

About 100 muslim workers at a meat packing plant in Greeley have been fired after walking off the job because they weren't given extra break time for prayers and an altered lunch schedule for breaking their ramadan fast. The ironic thing about this is the company originally promised them that time, b...

Sarah Palin plans to homeschool
(Preview)
Sarah Palin is planning to homeschool her kids. They're really trying to pull in disaffected conservative voters. I'd still rather gnaw off my own foot than vote for McCain, but I have to admit that they're going to pull in a lot of conservative voters with this. I know one guy at work who said that there...

Well, Obama has finally announced his VP pick, and I'm deeply glad because now I won't have to listen to the endless speculation about who it's going to be and when he's going to announce it. I am curious why he chose a known plagiarizer for his VP. Biden had a presidential campaign end because of a plagia...

Third party candidates scoring higher and higher in the polls

A large number of people are unwilling to vote for either Obama or McCain and are planning to vote third party. I think that this is all for the best. When you have Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum running for the major parties, people either don't vote at all or look for another choice. Sure, many people will...

New Zealand takes custody of girl to change her name

A judge in New Zealand has ordered a girl made a ward of the court so that he can change her name. Now granted, the parents were extremely stupid to name her what they did. But in my opinion government has absolutely no business in determining what parents can name their kids. What's next? A judge will tel...
