When I was in college, I remember a depressing theme coming up in one class. Granted, I majored in Writing - in literature classes, they tackle a lot of depressing themes, but I remember this one especially: Is the American Dream dead?
The answer to that question is simple: no. And no. […]

I wasn’t the only one who felt obliged to go after this column that appeared in the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel about four or five days ago. Archbishop of Milwaukee Timothy Dolan beat me to the punch with his own column that I found to be a great success:
I even found myself nodding in agreement as […]
I just sent a letter to the editor to the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel in response to a community column I read yesterday. What can I say? I saw someone broad-stroke the Catholic Church because of pedophilia and saw the Dan-signal.
Here’s the original column written by Thomas Zachek:
I don’t get religious fanaticism.

Here’s the new trailer for Oliver Stone’s movie, “W.”:
Looks pretty lame to me. It’s already common knowledge that Bush used to be a BlackSheep/BadBoy partier - big deal, old news, he’s almost not the President anymore. Besides, isn’t Bill Clinton’s life in the White House even more saucy than that?

Ah, yes, that old song. People claim there is a strong conservative influence in today’s media, but they’re usually referring to someone like Rush Limbaugh or Bill O’Reilly, who aren’t actually journalists but just talking heads. It’d be like saying BipolarNation.com has a conservative bias - difference is, I don’t pretend I’m being […]
Peter Coyote, the actor who played a high-powered lawyer in Erin Brockovich and the scientist after E.T., made this interesting suggestion the other day:
Actor Peter Coyote has suggested that stars who earn millions of dollars for their performances in movies ought to share the wealth with established character actors, who have seen their earnings rolled […]
David Evans, a consultant for the Australian Greenhouse Office for several years, has come out and said the evidence is lacking that carbon pollutants are causing a greenhouse effect or, for that matter, global warming:
The evidence was not conclusive, but why wait until we were certain when it appeared we needed to act quickly? Soon […]
Republican Senator Mitch McConnell made some interesting remarks on the Senate floor last Tuesday that tore apart the Democratic plan for oil bit by bit and I wanted to comment on them:
The proposal that the Democratic Leader outlined on gas prices last week falls laughably short. It has all the marks of a political […]
