If you disagree with the current healthcare reform, go check out and sign the petition against it. Here is what the petition states: I support the following as key elements of any health care reform plan: Choice: I support the right to choose my own doctor and to choose a health insurance plan that best [...]
Mr. Obama’s health care push has been all the rage lately. A few Blue Dog Democrats have come to the center of the debate, as they appear to be the linchpin to passage of the bill. However, public support seems to be eroding quickly as details from this 1000+ page bill emerge. Even the New [...]
Wired has a great post titled 100 Things Your Kids May Never Know. Here are a few good ones: 20. The buzz of a dot-matrix printer 30. Blowing the dust out of a NES cartridge in the hopes that it’ll load this time. 70. Taking turns picking a radio station, or selecting a tape, for [...]
I heard this song yesterday as I was flipping through the 70′s Channel on XM. I have heard it before, but ever since I heard it, I have been whistling the song. (H/T to Eric for the word earworm).
Jim Valvano gave this speech on March 3, 1993 after being diagnosed with brain cancer. I heard the speech (again) on my way into work this morning. I want to hear this speech at least once a year. It is emotional but powerful. As he is giving the speech remember that he is so weak [...]

Jim Byrd, father of PGA golfer Jonathan Byrd (a Clemson golfer), has passed away. Mickey Plyler has a nice write-up on him. My prayers go out the the Byrd family.
