Hopefully my lack of posting has helped all of your relative productivity’s (rest assured, it has not helped mine!) I just thought I’d throw briefly my thoughts on the bipartisan immigration reform bill, working its way through Washington. First of all, despite my pro-immigration stance, I recognize the problems with having a blatant disregard for [...]

Events like those at VA Tech usually get people talking about the laws concerning guns, although at this point its unclear what arguments will emerge (some have already blamed gun laws for not allowing students guns to defend themselves with), what is clear already is that the guns used in the shootings were legally purchased [...]

I love charities and people giving to charity, but being the cynical one I’m always happy to question the motives of people who give, the results of giving, etc., so with that said… you may remember a while back when the product red campaign started I made a post on the subject.Well since then apparently [...]

I generally consider myself a big football fan (unfortunately the Browns are the team I root for) however I must admit that I am not particularly excited for the Super Bowl this year. Why? Why not get excited for the biggest game of the year, to crown the ‘world champions’ of American football… Well part [...]

I don’t think i’ve ever had Columbus day off, at least not that I remember. Of course moving to Columbus Ohio might have changed all that, however Columbus has done away with the parades and festivities that surround the controversial figure and his ‘feats’ (discoverer or mass murderer depending on your views). Either-way I grew [...]

I applaud the downtown Columbus business community for funding a private program for the Capitol Crossroads SID. The program is called Clean & Safe and employs ‘ambassadors’ who wear bright neon polo shirts, trash collection equipment (broom, dustpan, etc) and a walkie talkie. The idea is to have eyes and ears out on the street, as [...]
