I have been a fan of Yeah Yeah Yeahs since their first album. I love the energy, I love the pop sensibility, and after catching them at First Avenue once, I LOVE Karen O. I mean, for my money, she’s this current generation’s greatest female performer. Others may be able to sing better, but her [...]

Bi-Partisanship… Why?
It seems to me that Obama has expended an awful lot of energy over his first few days in office attempting to reach out to the Republican party. He has had a cocktail party with them, has made unnecessary concessions to them, and has even upset some on the progressive side in the process of [...]
Helium Lunatics
Today I received an email from the website Helium informing me that I had been granted “Premier Writer” status. I thought this odd since I had only written three articles on the site. Apparently the fact that those articles were well reviewed by Helium users had granted me the coveted “Premier Writer” badge. Yippee!!

Substance (Part 1)
A recent post I made in which I recommended we all get off our asses and do whatever we can to get Obama elected provoked a response from a commenter named Andy (Hi Andy!) who suggested that I was a “nothing more than a blindly faithful Obama supporter who is full of hate”. Now, admittedly, [...]

For the first time in the last year I honestly believe there is a chance that Barack Obama will not be the next president of the United States and it scares me.
John McCain may be a cantankerous, dangerous, clueless, hypocritical liar, but when his political strategists decided to bring Palin in he benefited big time. [...]
Hillary’s Campaign Debt
I just got an email from Bill Clinton (yep, he and I are good buddies… heh heh) asking me to help pay off his wife’s “pesky campaign debt”.
This, I’m sorry to say, is actually fairly offensive.
Bill and Hill are multimillionaires. The only reason there IS a campaign debt is that she [...]
Therapy and Meditation
In early 1995, shortly after my wife had beaten cancer and my mother had given birth to my baby sister Jasmine, I was feeling as if I were at my wits end from stress. I bottled up anger, bitterness, sadness, and even joy just so I could maintain a calm demeanor in the middle [...]
Letter to Barack Obama
Today I read this article and was greatly disturbed. In it, Barack Obama indicates his desire to not only continue President Bush’s Faith-Based Initiatives, but to expand the program.
