<h2>An offense is resolved depending on your outlook</h2> A question was on yesterday’s ballot in New Jersey asking if a certain offensive phrase should be removed from the election regulations. Two things immediately struck me about this situation. First was that no one noticed or said a...
<h2>A podcast dedicated to the legalization of marijuana</h2> There's a grave misconception being perpetuated by our government's so-called 'War on Drugs' that states the only people fighting for the legalization of marijuana are potheads. I for one am not a pothead by even the slightest ...
Yep, I know. I fought this for years ... but here I am ......
<h2>Why it's good to always walk with your eyes open</h2> Goldhawk Open Mic host Dave Entwistle shared an experience he had in Maui with the crowd. His story illustrated a point I all too often fail to live by. And that is, no matter where you are—around the block or across the world—trav...
<h2>Imagine my surprise when I caught my cat praying</h2> Don't ask me where he got this from. Certainly not from me. But there he was deeply engrossed in a moment of prayer....
<h2>Why ... it's a smudge for Jesus of course!</h2> I was brought up Catholic so I’m well aware of the ritual of smearing ashes on one’s forehead to mark the beginning of Lent. The tradition of placing an ash cross on one’s forehead is meant to show a person’s identification with Jesus an...
<h2>Similarities are getting scarier</h2> In August 2005, I humorously compared George Bush's Iraq strategy to that of Futurama's Zapp Brannigan in his battle against the Series Seven Killbots. As of yesterday, this is no longer funny as Bush announced his ingenious new strategy of escal...
<h2>What is it exactly? Does it even exist?</h2> Really people, has the world gone completely mad? Are there actually people out there that consider symbols like Santa Claus and the Christmas tree to be religious? Apparently, yes because people get all freaked out when they see these thin...
<h2>It's about friggin' time!</h2> Recently our president decided to finally go where he was supposed to go back when his peers were being killed for our country. Vietnam. He also finally made the comparisons of this pointless, politically motivated and unpopular war in Iraq to that very ...
<h2>Still I'm a little disappointed in some of my peers</h2> OK so there we were for the past few years screaming and bitching about the team of Bush, Cheney and Rumsfeld. We hated this war and the lies that got us there. We were sick of the 'Stay the Course' attitude that permeated thru ...
<h2>Thanks to the candidates, I know what I need to do</h2> I am so sick of the course of politics in this country. Especially the thought of any hope of real positive policy being lost in a sea negative campaigning. As the race for Senator in New Jersey heats up, I've been exposed to ads...
<h2>Our nuclear weapons are ok but yours are evil</h2> Is it just me? Does anyone else think it's weird that the US has a list of countries that can and cannot have nuclear weapons? Oh sure, the list itself seems logical enough. I mean if you are an ally like Pakistan or the UK than you'r...
<h2>Proof that old men should not have web access</h2> Over the past few days there's been a lot of blame being tossed around for why Congressman Mark Foley sent sexually explicit advances to an underaged male page. If you ask me, the reason why he did this is simple; he is sick. Of cours...
<h2>Why do we always let ourselves be fooled?</h2> I was a big fan of former NJ Governor Jim Florio who told us flat out that taxes would go up. After all, it's as byproduct of inflation. Everything goes up. Food, rent, gas, phone, etc. So why would taxes miraculously be unaffected? His o...
<h2>9-11 Fives Years Later</h2> I'm sick of the rhetoric, I'm sick of the bullshit campaign speeches, I'm sick of the Bush Administration's denial of what actually happened...
<h2>9-11 five years later</h2> Two questions that most conspiracy theorists bring up are: What was the 'real' reason for Building 7 coming down? How does a 747 with wings leave circular hole in the Pentagon?...
<h2>Oh apparently about $1.00 ... what a bargain</h2> OK, so there I was on 125th Street waiting for a friend to come out of the bank. Inadvertently I made eye contact with a woman holding a paper called 'The Revolution'. She immediately went into her rant about the atrocities of war, the...
