Jesse Helms died on July 4th, and I only know of him through his anti-gay statements pertaining to people with AIDS. His solution to the epidemic in the 1990's? It was simple: gay people should stop having sex. The AIDS crisis wasn't the first-time that Americans got...

Obama Needs Some Ink
No word yet from Dunkin' Donuts about being their spokesperson. God knows I've eaten enough donuts to earn the gig. I can't say that my intent to be their spokesperson is solely to show that people with HIV love to eat donuts. The truth is, I really need it to...
Bowling for Obama
The trip to Los Angeles was incredible, but since I'm sitting in a hotel trying to get everything together, I thought I'd wait till I could upload a few pics to tell the story. In the meantime, I have to address an issue I've ignored until now: Barack Obama's bowling....
Obamania is Not Genetic
On Monday I went to my old stomping grounds, Waynesboro, to meet up with my family for dinner at a Japanese Steakhouse. The new kid on the block, Helayna, was there, as was my 9-year old niece, Katelyn. Halfway through dinner, I leaned over to Katie and asked her...
Time to Speak Up
My tainted blood is pumping red, white and blue. I know I'm not a politico, though politics have crept into this blog as of late. I'm just excited about the political landscape, and how engaged people are on all sides of the barbed-wire fence. I support Obama, but I...
Full-Blown Obamania
All the symptoms are presenting themselves: an audacity of excessive hope, an accute deficiency of cynicism and unexplainable waves of enthusiasm. Yes, I know if he is elected he'll have to endure the worst first-possibly-only-term a president could have. It's there...
Romney for Drunkenstein’s!
So there was a guy who wanted to open a bar in Tempe, was denied a liquor license, and to protest that decision he wanted to kill football fans at the Super Bowl. You can read the story here. It's hardly amusing, and thankfully he didn't go through with his attempt to...
From Super Bowl to Super Tuesday
The New York Giants did it! I probably lost some t-cells over that game, watching Giants slip in the endzone, drop footballs, flip them into Patriots open arms. But all the while they hung in there. Plus, Eli Manning is engaged to his college sweatheart, and Tom...
Norris Blows Huckabee’s Vice Prez Hopes
The media likes to take a statement, blow it out of proportion, and repeat it a thousand times. This happened over the weekend when Chuck Norris said that he believes that John McCain is too old to be president. I've written on here a little bit about the...
Obama, the Huck
Last night Barack Obama rode the endorsement of future Vice President Dennis Kucinich to a victory in Iowa, and The Huck brought out the anti-Mormon vote to crush Mitt Romney. An oversimplification or gross irrationalization? You betcha! I love politics. What's...
