It’s happened a few times: I’m cruising along in suburbia, probably with one of my brothers, and we come across a couple of wannabe gangsters. You know the type: probably 14 or 15 years old, wearing hip-hop shirts that don’t fit them, and generally acting thuggish ruggish. “Stupid wannabe thugs,” I think and/or say.
What didn’t […]
Something really exciting is constantly going on right now that will have huge impacts in 100-1,000 years from now. What am I talking about?
Space exploration, of course. Although these space exploring missions might not pay off for a while, it’s starting!
Why do I bring this up now? Because NASA just launched the DAWN spacecraft, built […]
I wrote in the Journal-Sentinel that the educational value I received in school would have been less damaging to my worldview than if I had stood in a pile of horse manure for the 17 years instead. It turns out that school isn’t only hurting our children’s minds, but their bodies as well.
Tough choices tempt […]
Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (I finally learned how to spell it) has been receiving treatment like an American tourist in France. I guess it makes sense. A guy who’s been compared to Hitler (even called a ‘mini-Hitler’) can’t come over and expect the red carpet to be rolled out. Still, what if […]
I’m usually as anti-Nursing homes rights as the next whippersnapper, but when authorities decide to step in on donated snacks and pastries to senior centers in Putnam County in New York, it sets off some of my alarms.
Officials were concerned that the county was setting a bad nutritional precedent by providing mounds of doughnuts and […]
Like many of the top Republican candidates, Giuliani can’t keep his positions exactly consistent. Not that that’s a bad thing, though, especially when you become more supportive of gun rights.
Giulaini explained the lawsuit he initiated in 2000 against gun manufacturers by saying that he was “excessive in everyway that I could think of in […]
Greetings BPNers. I haven’t been able to post much lately, so I thought I’d share some interesting news tidbits over the last couple of weeks or so:
All over the news this morning was the announcement that a new tape was issued by Al-Qaeda. The audio tape contains a message by Osama bin Laden calling for […]
Today’s post is kind of a rant, so bear with me.
Donovan McNabb once said that he “can’t believe it’s about race.” Now, as a black quarterback, he is going around claiming that black quarterbacks get treated worse than white quarterbacks.
The first statement occured in 2003, the second in 2007.
Why is this significant? Let me tell […]
Greetings BipolarNation.com junkies. Just letting the premier online political/social debate community know about my latest project. Phil Burghgraef (who supplies the occasional political cartoon here) and I have teamed up to give the world CollegeRockers.com, an online community for college musicians, bands, radio stations and fans.
Check out the press release and feel free to comment or […]
Today I’m ranking the Presidents from 1-41 in terms of quality. Dubya isn’t on the list and Grover Cleveland counts as one. These Presidential rankings are sorted by a number of issues, but usually the main question I asked myself is, “who would I rather have as President?”
Here are some other issues that […]
