Creative Writing > Satire Satire: Politics: 2 of 88
Dear Mr. Rove:I am in shock and awe of your brilliance. The manner in which you've convinced the President and his political entourage to limit their discussion on pertinent issues by reciting a litany of paranoiac terrorist fantasies must be memorialized in University political science courses as the optimal manner in which ...

Business > Management Ethics The pros and cons of being a "whistle blower": 2 of 8
Most good investigators will admit great fraud schemes involve perverting government obligations for corporate or personal benefit. With the proliferation of contracts for products and services between private and public corporations and the federal and state governments the opportunity for corporations to take economic advan...

Politics, News & Issues > Environmental Awareness Should oil companies pay a windfall profits tax?: 10 of 21
Imposing a windfall profits tax on the oil & gas industry is not the solution for an industry beset by poorly crafted and implemented regulation schemes for the last 70 years. For 50 years the oil & gas business was subject to state or federal regulation of wellhead prices and oil & gas production. Initially, prices were set ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Controversial radio host Don Imus: Should he be fired for his remarks?: 64 of 110
MSNBC and CBS should be embarrassed at their lack of intestinal fortitude and their clear pandering to the extremism of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. Allowing those two individuals airtime to sensationalize Imus' tasteless gaffe amounts to hypocrisy and race baiting. Sharpton and Jackson have very clear records as racists, w... More..
Other If you could have a one-hour interview with any human being past or present, who would it be?: 140 of 228
While there are many people I'd love to interview, the single most intriguing interview would be with Jesus Christ. First, I realize this is a controversial choice, for many would interpret my selection as diminution of Jesus' God qualities. I disagree. The stories of Jesus' life as a human and subsequent transfiguration are ... More..
Politics, News & Issues > People in the News Don Imus: Why he was fired: 12 of 18
While I find Don Imus' comments about the Rutgers women's basketball team reprehensible, it is absolutely delusional to believe MSNBC and CBS fired Imus for any reason other than the economic loss of Proctor and Gamble and other advertisers. The time-line of his comments, his mea culpa and his subsequent roasting by Al Sharpt... More..
Politics, News & Issues > Sports Archives 2006 The BCS: Baffling counting system: 2 of 3
The most appropriate name for the BCS is the Bowl Conservation Series. The BCS calculates a series of press voting responses and compiles it with other banal statistics like margin of victory and strength of schedule and purports to be a scientific means by which teams earn their opportunity to play for the National Champions...

Society & Lifestyle > Immigration Issues Pros and cons of emigrating to Canada: 6 of 7
As an American married to a Canadian my perspective may be slightly skewed compared those residents of either country. The United States for all of its rhetoric is easier, either legally or illegally, to emigate to rather than Canada. When we applied for a fiancee visa from the US Immigration service we were the only couple i... More..
Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary Hollywood and politics: What makes movie stars political experts?: 43 of 47
The necessity of raising vast amounts of political capital has contributed to political candidates openly wooing movie stars, corporate, and other celebrities. Money buys access to the candidates, provides the lubricant for the propaganda of the political machine and gives voice to issues. The issue the American public must f... More..
Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Should homosexuals receive all the rights and benefits of marriage?: 128 of 129
Absolutely! A sexual choice should not be determinative of whether or not two people in love should have the rights and benefits of marriage. In nearly every instance of dissent, the speaker or writer prefaces his or her judgment with "as a Christian," as if that singular statement transfers all the rights, interpretation, an... More..
