If you didn’t catch the recent Newsweek article about the rampant narcissism associated with Twitter, Facebook, My Space and blogging, I’ve attached the link to Raina Kelley’s article Generation Me. One of the things that’s interesting about moving into the sugar sweet love bubble, quitting my job and taking what is likely to be a 1 [...]

I quit my job. Without having another job. During a recession. And I have you, my faithful blog and column readers to blame. You’re the ones who for months, ne years have told me that I really should be a writer. So just like that *snap*, I’m a writer. My mother feigns support but I [...]

The rain in DC today is almost Biblical in it’s totality. Since the temperature has gone from 85 degrees to 40 degrees in matter of hours, I’ve joined the legions of locals with scratchy throats all of whom would rather be surfing the sofa.

From the desk of Republican Dude Recently, in Loudoun County out here in the ‘burbs, there’s been much hoopla about school boundary changes, I’ll spare you all the boring details, but this issue has ignited that portion of Ashburn in which I live. Now, I enjoy discussing national politics and the like as much as [...]

If you subscribe to Newsweek, you’ll be greeted this holy week with a cover article entitled The End of Christian American. As I am at present undergoing my own crisis of faith, it’s of some comfort to know that indeed, I am not alone. The percentage of self-identified Christians has fallen 10 points in the [...]

Before I get an onslaught of hate mail suggesting that I’m going to burn in hell (which may be the case but if so it will be for a completely different set of reasons), the title to the blog references a song in the show Avenue Q which, if you’ve not seen it… well, I [...]

On the metro this morning I was surrounded by tourists. You can tell that they’re tourists because they ride the metro with a combination of fear and confusion. Fear that they are moments away from being the victim of a violent crime, they eye everyone with skepticism. Fear that they are going to get off [...]
