Equal Time
I came across a very interesting Rolling Stone article today on John McCain. What I liked about the article is that it heavily relies on comments from fellow conservatives/Republicans as well as people who know John McCain personally.

The XXIX Summer Olympiad
It\’s been two and a half years since I last wrote about the Olympics. And it has been six and a half years since I lamented on the X-ification of the Olympics. With the Summer Games in Beijing coming to a close in the next few days, I felt it was time to take a…

Passions
On a recent trip to New York I was driving to LaGuardia at the ungodly hour of 4:45 AM, when a fancy car zoomed past me with a license plate giving me the distinct feeling that I was just passed by Dom Imus. Watching his luxury sedan speed off into the pre-dawn darkness, my recent…
