While I hate to give ink to harmful claims to a candidate hiding behind anonymous sources, it appears the Politico story accusing Herman Cain of sexual harassment is gaining steam. Thus I will address a couple thoughts early. According to the story: During Herman Cain’s tenure as the head of the National Restaurant Association in the 1990s, at [...]
Thanks to a tip from Les Jones, I found Dave Ramsey’s thoughts on the Occupy Wall Street crowd. Mr. Ramsey details a few of the possible OWS complaints and his thoughts on them. While there is no clear point or message from OWS, they certainly have some perceived issues which they are protesting, but they [...]
Rick Perry announced his tax plan yesterday. However, he wandered off message to mention the Obama Birther issue (those who claim Obama is not eligible to be President because they do not believe he was born in the US). This issue had pretty much gone away (as it should have), but Perry could not resist [...]
The NY Times had an article yesterday about Screen Time for children. It dealt with the amount of time spent with iPads, television, etc. It should be no surprise that an increasing number of kids are being exposed to alternative forms of communication/learning/entertainment, especially with the prevalence of smartphones and the increasing popularity of tablets. The study [...]
Michael Silence had a piece yesterday for the Knoxville News Sentinel that I thought was very pertinent. A politician falls and the opposition pounces.

That is an impressive number that truly shows how seriously the people in these countries are yearning for their voice to be heard. Compare that to the United States’ last Presidential [...]
A good quote to get you going this morning: “Up, sluggard, and waste not life; in the grave will be sleeping enough.” –Benjamin Franklin
In what seems like a desperate attempt to stay relevant, Bryant Gumbel made some comments regarding the NBA labor situation. The NBA owners have locked the players out in order to renegotiate the deal between they and the players’ union. However, Gumbel, the host of HBO’s Real Sports thinks that David Stern is acting as a [...]
The GOP candidates continued to square off for their party’s nomination last night in a debate at the Venetian in Las Vegas, NV. I had a couple immediate thoughts from the debate after watching it: Newt Gingrich is by far the most intelligent individual in this contest. His vast knowledge of American history and his [...]
As I have stated before, I do not think Ron Paul has a chance to win the Presidency. The main reason for this is just when you think he has good ideas and sound policy, he then goes off the deep end. However, the news this time is that which makes me want to support [...]
