When the Going Gets Tough, the Tough Get Whiny

Posted on May 11, 2023 by Nathan

There are so many things related to politics that I hear or read that just piss me off, but I usually try not to say anything, because it’s kind of just taking the bait. That’s especially the case with the … Continue reading →

It’s Hip to Be Hypocritical

Posted on May 3, 2022 by Nathan

I’ve been thinking of a few things recently with regards to politics, especially in terms of Republicans. They’re hardly original ideas with me, and I’m sure many people have expressed them better than I have, but I’m going to say … Continue reading →

The Apple Dumpling Gang – It seems like I saw advertisements for this one on a bunch of other Disney videos when I was a kid, but I never saw the movie itself. There was also this Paul F. Tompkins … Continue reading →

Super-Duper Superficial

Posted on March 8, 2017 by Nathan

I’m inclined to think that, as humans, we all have somewhat of a tendency to be superficial. It’s not fair, but it’s incredibly common. What I’m particularly interested in here, however, is how people will mix superficial complaints in with … Continue reading →

Polytheistic Politics

Posted on February 22, 2016 by Nathan

Notice how pretty much every presidential candidate says they were called by God to run? When I mentioned this, Amy correctly pointed out that he didn’t necessarily want all of them to WIN, but they all seem to think he … Continue reading →

Clash of the Tightwads

Posted on September 18, 2015 by Nathan

Probably the only thing Americans can all agree on is that ten candidates in one debate is too many. So, in last night’s debate on CNN, they instead had…eleven. I blame the defunding of public schools. I can’t help finding … Continue reading →

Posted on July 24, 2015 by Nathan

Rick Perry has recently made the news for his criticism of Donald Trump, because really, what else does he have to distinguish himself from the other Republican candidates? I know I sometimes confuse him with Ted Cruz. Running for President … Continue reading →

We’re Fed Right Up with Diets

Posted on November 14, 2013 by Nathan

Snipping, Snipping, Snipping Goes the Christie Man

Posted on February 24, 2011 by Nathan

Daily Lack of News

Posted on February 7, 2011 by Nathan

I don’t usually write much about my school assignments on either of my journals, but in this case, I found a bit to discuss in the research that really doesn’t relate to the class. What the assignment involved was watching … Continue reading →
