Andrew Breitbart R.I.P.
(Politics,Society)
American conservatives lost a great champion this past week. Andrew Breitbart died much too soon and it was a shock to many of us. I've had a YouTube channel for a while, but hadn't posted anything to it. In truth, a big part of why was simply fear. I knew I'd be opening myself up to a whole lot of attacks the moment I did.

Obama and rising gas prices
(Politics,Society,Government)

(Society,Science)
Happy New Year! I plan on doing a weekly post here. We're now fully into the election year -- just 11 months until we go to the polls. If you haven't been doing it all along, please start studying the issues so, come November, you can intelligently cast your ballot. And if you're someone who hasn't diligently voting in every election, add that to your New Year's Resolutions. Our nation doesn't ask that much of us as citizens (short of paying taxes). It's the least you can do.
