Lance and Liam

I have never been so impressed by a human being as I am with Lance Armstrong.  Some may say that he is a doper and a cheat, but he has never tested positive and know one is as tested as he is.  Consider this.  He comes back from Cancer to win 7 Tours in a [...]

My thoughts…

I have kept quiet about most topics for a while now.  I have been focusing on my research, thesis and running so much that I have not been keeping up with current events.  So here are some thoughts:
Pop – culture: OK the whole Miss USA California deal. The girl was wrong for lying on her [...]

Obama needs to learn the difference between Inherited vs Created

2008 had less then a 500 Billion dollar defficit.  This is the real number inherited by the current administration. A budget made by a democratically controlled congress.  But Bush signed it so he owns it.  He should be to blame for it.  500 Billion is not 1 trillion as suggested by Pres Obama in his [...]

Water

I wanted to write today and ask all of my readers to do something.  I know all five of you.  It is about water.  As many of you know I have a facebook account and through it I joined a group called Water.  I did this for a very specific reason.  Water is the one [...]

1. Close the only prison for known terrorist in the world in the same week a person released from said prison turns up on [...]

Why do we make things harder?

Be prepared for a rant. 
My friend Michelle is pregnant.  Way cool.  Her family is mixed faith.  Kinda hard to work out but managable.  Actually that isn’t the problem.  Her problem is the same that Stacey had.  She went to a breast feeding class.  Sure, I imagine that this is helpful at some level for a [...]

Education in America

Every year I get to experience freshman entering college or first year Grad students.  Every year I am more and more disappointed in the readiness of these students to take on the rigors of a GOOD college education.  Every year the students seem to do worse and worse.  So now we have a new President-elect [...]

Peter King’s Ten things

Hey guys, much like a doctor earns his money off of his skill and a truck driver earns his money off of his truck, a journalist makes money off of the written word.  I have been calling a post I do Ten Things I Think I Think.  Well that little verbage was from Sports Illustrated’s [...]

Running for heart

A lot of us picture olympic runners running with heart and soul.  Pushing themselves for the gold and excellence.  That isn’t me.  That isn’t most of us.  For us, exercise is an on again off again past time the strikes when we feel inspired, or realize the table is getting farther away, or we forgot [...]

My presidential agenda (if elected in 2012)

The US constitution states that I am eligible to run for the Presidency at 35 years old.  In 2012 I turn 35, so I hereby declare my candidacy for president.
In my first 100 days I promiss the following:
1. I will make all mariages in this country Civil Unions through the federal government.  Limited to two [...]
