Fox News misleading people? Surely you jest
After probably three years without posting any news, this one is just too precious to skip. Evidently Fox News is again accused of airing misleading video. I know what you’re thinking, not Fox News, surely they mean one of the more dubious, liberal media outlets. Fox News is certainly above suspicion on this sort [...]
Inverse credit card scam?
I’m not really sure if this is a commentary on myself or the state of the world today. I received a letter in the mail recently that read:
Dear Consumer:
The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”), the nation’s consumer protection agency, filed a lawsuit against Kenneth and Teresa Taves, and Dennis Rappaport and their businesses J.K. Publications, Inc., [...]
Doggie goes bite
I watched a show on television yesterday about a dog attack in San Francisco 5 years ago that resulted in someone’s death.

What year is it again?
I saw this fascinating article today. Yeah! Intelligent Design. It boggles my mind to think that this type of thing is actually being litigated in the year 2005. People are certainly free to their own opinions, but must they try to force them onto completely rational, yet impressionable, kids? I guess we will only know [...]
The things people say
I have long believed that the only ones who actually listen to shows like Rush Limbaugh are far removed from me. I don’t mean in a partisan sense or simply based on ideology, I mean that I thought that those kinds of people lived in other regions of the U.S., regions far from here. Rush [...]
That’s our Bush!
Bush finally responds to the disaster in Louisiana. I don’t know exactly where I copied these lines from, fair use laws be damned!
Bush returned to the White House on Wednesday, two days early from a monthlong Texas vacation, to oversee relief efforts. Bush dismissed criticism that he didn’t return sooner as political sniping
