Idol Gives Back Shows Change Required
by John Roberts This week's results episode of American Idol was a 2 hour special including a fund raiser for "Idol Gives Back", featuring many organizations helping less fortunate individuals all around the world. It was a successful night, raising nearly $45 million. The thing that stood out most to me was the fact that our country is a piece [...]
Triple Bogey Congress
I have a certain group of friends I like to golf with. A certain friend, who for privacy purposes I will refer to as "Phil" for the remainder of this article, has a horrible habit. Not being the best golfer ever, he often finds himself in a bad position after the tee shot. Usually, either directly behind a tree, deep in a sand trap, or 15 feet to [...]
The “F” Heard Round The World
by John Wharff History books are full of the moments that forever changed the world. Whether they were the actions of individuals, or entire nations, these moments were deemed worthy and recorded for future posterity. Now children are memorizing not only the Pledge of Allegiance (if not outlawed at time of posting), but also parts of famous [...]
Big Bang Big Bust?
by Brett Roberts Scientists hold on to the Big Bang theory like a mother gorilla to her dead baby. The emotional attachment is too great to overcome denial. It has been said that when you come to a conclusion before you have all the facts, that you start to interpret the facts to fit your initial conclusion. I was taught in school that [...]

Wrong Choice Tebows!
by John Roberts Come on Tebows! Let's not take this Pro-Choice thing to far. Apparently you have a hard time understanding what 'choice' means. It's not that you get to decide between several choices when you're pregnant. The choice you make is abortion. I'm so outraged and offended that you guys made the wrong choice, and then go flaunt it in [...]
Budget Freeze vs. Climate
I think the White House is confused. Their budget freeze is burning up our money, and their Global Warming is freezing the globe. They say they're going to implement a discretionary domestic spending freeze at $704 billion, but that's already $63 billion more than they said they would be spending in 2011, $82 billion more than 2012, and $79 [...]
Obama’s New Fairy Tale
by Brett Roberts You know what my new favorite fairy tale is? It's a really short one written by a new child's author named Barack Obama. Do you have your blanket? Here it is: "Many originally feared that most of the $700 billion in TARP money would be lost, but because of the management of this program by Secretary Geithner and my [...]
Education Sucks, Knowledge Rules
by John Roberts That's right. I said it. Education, as it seems to be defined today, sucks. Let's see if I can capture the essence of the American education system. Go to school/daycare for 7 hours a day for 12 years, and get a high school diploma, then you have an education. Simple. Although, I don't know that people with a high school [...]
Open Letter to White House
by Brett Roberts Dear White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs, You recently responded to reporters questioning the validity of man-caused Climate Change in light of the lack of warming over the last decade and recent record colds worldwide by saying, "I would say that there are, even in places that are used to getting very cold [...]
