Road to Recovery

OK, I’m gonna shill for the Obama camp, but this job loss chart just can’t be ignored.

Solution to Government Gridlock: Term Limits

Perhaps if a splinter group of Tea Partiers (under a different name, please) embraced term limits as their sole mission, it could truly be called a movement. And more moderates like me might just join.

A Gator Says Bye to Timmy

You must read A Gator Says Bye to Timmy by one of our brothers in blogging at Fourth and Dumb. He says what many Gators certainly are thinking about Tim Tebow as he heads toward his true calling.

How Can Anyone Say No to This Health Care Bill?

Health care reform in its current state in Congress is as dead as my once white-hot passion for a Barack Obama presidency. But there’s still a chance to enact change, and to that end I’d like to propose a three-pillar bill that I defy anyone to find fault with.

Yet Another Sign of the Apocalypse

Yet another sign of the apocalypse … Now there’s social media for your baby at http://lilgrams.com/. Really, America, how much higher can we make that pedestal that we put children on? Where will the insanity of child worship end? Oh where have you gone, George Carlin?

Setting the Record Straight on Health Care Reform

Many people have received variations of an anti-health-reform chain email that claims to provide a page-by-page analysis of a House healthcare bill. Jennifer Tolbert, an independent health care analyst at a nonpartisan foundation that studies health care reform, called the email “awful.”
