I Am Peyton Manning and So Are You!

Though I have always been a fan of professional football, for many years I did not follow a team.  I was just as excited as all of my friends to watch the weekly contests, but I never had the personal investment that brought with it the soaring highs and crushing lows.  I never said “we” when referring to a group of [...]

Rush Limbaugh Is Fat

Rush Limbaugh. Yep, he’s all over the news right now. He’s Godzilla to the Tokyo of American politics. He strides through breathing flames, leaving wreckage and ditto-head worshippers in his wake.

Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, Oklahoma, and Tennessee are the first of what could be many more [...]

The Intelligence of the General Public in a Retail Setting [Things I'm Still Bitter About]

Since I was 17 years old, I have worked in some form or another of the retail industry, slaving my way through the mundane (and sometimes comical and/or confusing) day-to-day rigmarole, in hopes of one day escaping from the hell of it all and making my name as something greater. Thirteen years this has been going on, and things are [...]

Unconstitutional

There are three things that I never talk about at the dinner table: Politics, Religion, and Money. There are too many opinions out there for anyone to agree wholeheartedly on these three topics, and too often they stir up heated debates that can leave friends and family angry with you for weeks. However, today I’m going to take a break [...]
