Congratulations, President-Elect Obama

I won’t pretend to be happy about the outcome. I wanted McCain to be the Republican candidate in 2000 and I wanted him to win the presidency this year. But, I’m tremendously proud that this country elected its first African-American President. While the college student turnout, and their relative obnoxiousness, rubs me the wrong way [...]

Dustinland - Race To The Finish

Dustinland - Fight Back Against Vote Fraud in ‘08!

Well, with all the bad news about the credit crisis in the news, today our [...]

Hodgepodgeatorium - Undecided

So I decided to dust off the old column, it being an election year and all. And I’ve got to say that I’m kinda sorta paying attention now. I pretty much avoided all of the primary stuff because really, who cares about that stuff? Now my eyes are open and I’m an [...]
