Yes, I know this is supposed to be a political blog, but sometimes I just don’t feel like talking about politics (those times are rare but they do occur). Today is one of those days. I have been alternating between writing a paper on minimizing overtime on large construction projects and reading the news and [...]
Over the last several months as I have watched the Health Insurance debate bounce back and forth, one particular item has always bugged me a little bit. The pro-government health care advocates continually point to the “obscene” profits that the insurance companies supposedly make. This struck me as fairly odd since there are a large [...]
Thank god the new hate crime bill was passed. We can all breath a sigh of relief knowing that it is now illegal to physical assault someone based on their sexual orientation.

I have been pondering a gun control post for awhile now and a recent news article has prompted me to go ahead and broach the subject. Combined with the fact that I am just about sick to death of talking about health care, this story really got me to thinking hard about responsible gun ownership [...]
Hey everybody! So I haven’t really had the time or the energy to rant about anything lately but I will soon. I have a few topics rolling around on the waves of my brain and I will try to get them here over the next few days. I am still playing around with WordPress so [...]
