I love memes. You know, those ridiculous photos with some funny tagline on them that randomly become viral and sweep their way through the internet via email and Facebook. But memes aren’t just photos. The word comes from the Greek … Continue reading
The other “f”-word
Anyways, it’s not that I actually want to run other people’s lives, but I so desperately want to tell them what I think they’re doing wrong. It’s probably because I’m a classic problem-solver. I know some people who are okay … Continue reading
The Paul Factor…Rocking The RNC

On Neo-Morbidism
Some (unrefined) thoughts: What a strange culture and a strange time in which we find ourselves. It appears sometimes that I live in a world full of thinkers. There are post-moderns, contemplative theologians, poignant poets, articulate atheists…and so on. I … Continue reading
Reading “End The Fed” (intro & Ch. 1)
“It’s the economy, stupid.” The economy. It’s everyone’s favorite topic these days (with the occasional mention of such peripheral things as the overseas wars, the royal wedding, Steve Jobs, and oil spills). It’s one of my favorite topics – I … Continue reading
