Photos from the AFP Summit

As I was packing at 5 a.m. Thursday, I realized my camera was nowhere to be found. I had the choice to keep searching for it, or make it to my flight on time. I chose the latter.
So to make a long story short, these photos are all from my BlackBerry. I’m pretty impressed by [...]

Nacho average midnight snack!

Perhaps it’s my near-ravenous level of hunger.
Perhaps it’s being able to get something to eat well after midnight without leaving the hotel.
Perhaps it’s because I paid eight bucks for a snack, three bucks for a soft drink and two-fifty for a tip.
Perhaps it’s a combination of all three. Or maybe these really [...]

FOX News picks up on the AFP rally

In the “B-Roll”, a/k/a the footage taken of the rally, I’m standing just to the right of the podium, over the speaker’s left (our right) shoulder. I’m the big geeky-lookin kid (thanks again, Napoli) wearing a black shirt and sporting a beard.
Without further ado, here’s the video:

A Sad Social Commentary

From the UK’s News.com.au:
Crowd jeers suicidal jumper to his death
JEERING onlookers goaded a teenager in Britain to jump to his death, undermining police efforts to talk him down, and then took pictures of the body.
Yesterday as 17-year-old Shaun Dykes prepared to jump from the top of a multi-storey carpark in Derby, northern England, spectators allegedly shouted to him: “How [...]

Me? A Back-Channeler? (is that even a word?)

Thank you to Todd Williams, online editor at the Rapid City Journal, for bringing attention to our humble blog in his “The Fives” column:
Call it back-channeling, or something like that.

Congress/Fed/Bush Administration - Are We Going to Hold Them to the Fire?

There is more than one way to skin a cat! There is also more than one solution to saving our economy. The problem is most of the people in Washington don’t understand economics; and they are writing the solution.  Kinda like a rat chewing on your body, you’re getting infected from the chewing and the rat is telling [...]

The Indian answer to Enron

From the Times of London:

CEO murdered by mob of sacked Indian workers
Corporate India is in shock after a mob of workers bludgeoned to death the chief executive who sacked them from a factory in a suburb of Delhi.
Lalit Kishore Choudhary, 47, the head of the Indian operations of Graziano Transmissioni, a manufacturer of car parts [...]

If You’re Trying to get Something Done; Abstinence Never Works!

Apparently, the proof is Bristol Palin.
In an article, written by Drug Counselor Marsha Rosenbaum, PhD and manager of Safety First Project Jennifer Kern, they discuss Republicans don’t know how to handle Teen issues because their teens get pregnant and use drugs. In this article they fail to acknowledge free will. And on top of that, Abstinence [...]

In this time of Political Discord - E PLURIBUS UNUM

‘Out of Many, One’  For all of the opposition I am giving to Senator Tim Johnson and soon Representative Stephanie Herseth, E PLURIBUS UNUM is an issue that needs to be addressed. I have been taught and I believe that everyone must respect the officials God has placed in our government, that includes the opposition. This [...]
