Words, all words
In this, the time of the talking thing (also known as the State of the Union and it’s fallout), we must be strong.
You will hear, if you listen, lots of talk. What will the president say (previews all day, everywhere); tonight, of course, the actual speech; what people think the president said, what he [...]
A tale of two New York’s
In a way, every state is unique. Florida and Hawaii are tropical paradises, Nevada has Las Vegas (and Reno), West Virginia is shaped like some sort of kitchen utensil and Montana has the most feminine state capital name, Helena.
New York, my home state, is no exception to being unique. In addition to being one of [...]
The Yeti Rants: Where did all the Republicans go?
“We’ve gone astray from first principles. We’ve lost sight of the rule that individual freedom and ingenuity are at the very core of everything that we’ve accomplished. Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.†– Ronald Reagan
I’m not a huge fan of Reagan. I certainly won’t go around touting [...]
State Wide Elections
So we are coming up on the time of caucuses, conventions, primaries, and the like. They happen differently in every state. I can only speak to the actual nature of Minnesota’s set. I’m not however. I’m going to talk to the importance of getting involved.

“Ride My Cattle
As a much belated Christmas gift for a dear friend, I decided to write a parody of the Rent song “Light My Candle” about the film Brokeback Mountain which she loved. Since the song is basically a back and forth conversation, I decided to write the parody in dialouge form. It might not be the [...]
Minorities
My paying position is working with small businesses, specifically minority and women owned (the women owned businesses will for the sake of ease fall into minority for this rant because most of the time the money pots are the same). I run into this a lot. “It’s a minority owned business we should give [...]
The “ALF Principle of Nostalgiaâ€Â
He’s faster than any other man. When you think of “fastâ€Â, you think of him. The dictionary should replace its first definition of the word fast with his name. The first man to break the four-minute mile? He’s faster. He could run the four-minute mile sleepwalking. The guy is fast, no two ways about [...]
