So Donald Trump tweeted this picture today in response to Nancy Pelosi’s press conference after their meeting in which she said that the President of the United States essentially had a meltdown and a temper tantrum. And, really, if you look at any of the reporting on this issue you’ll see that she seems to […]
Hello, all! If you’ve read my blog before, you know that I’m a creature of politics. I don’t often write about it here on this blog, but when I do I try to explore subjects deeply. Some of you may know that I ran for State Representative in Michigan in 2014, and in 2016. I […]
First things first: I recently got hired at McLaren Greater Lansing as a Nurse Assistant. I am very excited about this job and I am eager to learn more skills. Everyone I’ve met so far at the hospital has been terrific, and I really believe that I’m going to enjoy my time there. Second things […]
Hello, my dear readers (and new readers!). Sadly, last month, I was not able to finish the A-to-Z Blogging Challenge. I kept going, and managed to get some posts up for the last few letters except for Z, but ultimately, life got in the way. I wanted to end the challenge with a bang, and […]
Today’s post was originally meant to be a light-hearted retrospective of how hard it is to maintain good writing quality in the face of writing a blog post every day. It’s not that I haven’t loved doing it, but I usually like to take my time so I can write something with high quality. Instead, […]
No, I’m not talking about jogging, sprinting, or dashing. I’m talking about running for a public office in an election. I’ve been doing my homework on the issues that are affecting the 93rd Congressional District and the State of Michigan, and I’ve been compiling information in a binder to keep it organized. This is the […]
Yeah, I know how to count. I just wanted to make a bad joke in the title because, really, that’s a part of who I am. Jocose, yes, but serious about the things that are important. I’ve been told by a person I greatly admire and respect that I can sometimes cover my true feelings […]
Jon Stewart tackled the recent Supreme Court ruling on video games in his signature comedic way, highlighting some of the absurdities of the ruling that I hadn’t touched on previously in my article. http://www.hulu.com/watch/255272/the-daily-show-with-jon-stewart-moral-kombat?c=0:52 I think Jon Stewart made good, salient points which shouldn’t be ignored. I’ve often asked why US culture has such an […]
Here’s a lesson on taking things at face value. Ezra Klein shares a graph that is possibly misleading. I’m generally very sympathetic to the liberal cause (it’s why I call myself a liberal). Generally, the Center for American Progress does good work. However, this graph is just completely hilarious. You can, essentially, take a number […]
According to gamesindustry.biz, the Supreme Court ruled yesterday that video games are protected free speech (an account with gamesindustry.biz is required to view the full story–I highly recommend it as this is a great resource). The article, written by Rachel Webber, reports that: The Justices today voted 7-2 in favour of the Entertainment Merchant’s Association, […]
