Back in 2005 I decided it was time to join several of my peers and to give LASIK eye surgery a shot. Those I knew that had it done all had exceptional experiences including at Kremer Eye Center, the place I’d decided to go with. I also decided to pay a premium for the service […]

Okay, so it’s not the biggest news out there but it was still quite a surprise to me—and a welcome one. Not long ago I wrote up a post about the wonders of MiO Liquid Water Enhancer. Since finding it early last summer I’ve become not only a big fan but also addicted to the […]

An altercation happened near the White House between Bill O’Reilly and an Occupy protester who approached him while Bill was on his way to the White House. Word of it got out so O’Reilly opened his TV show with his version of what happened. You can get the video for yourself on several sites including […]

Windows with an on/off switch: a new technology dynamically changes whether windows allow heat to pass through or not, while not impacting the light let in. Free singing telegrams through the end of this year from Western Union! (with a new technological twist) Follow-up to the Murder of Mosquitoes: “Genetic Genocide” details the risks and ethical quandaries […]

A few months ago I saw the film Forks Over Knives and it was the final straw in a long thought process I’d been having about my diet. I’ve been a die-hard meat and potatoes kind of guy. Always have been. I support vegetarians, vegans or the diet anyone wants to partake in. That’s up […]

Business Section: The dawn of catvertising: “What can cat videos do for YOUR business?” Nuns as gun-totin’ shareholder activists pushing companies to do the right thing (PS: Those are metaphorical guns.  PPS: Googling “Nuns with Guns” is NSFW, which I guess shouldn’t have surprised me.) Retailers force their employees to work the Thanksgiving Holiday as they vie […]

I come from a family that enjoys a hearty beverage with their entertainment. There’s never been a shortage of beer or varied spirits at most family events and I find that’s typical of many American homes. As a child I grew up surrounded, most notably, by beer. I recall seeing many of the beers of […]

Starting earlier in the week I had an odd sensation that was a bit disconcerting but not overly concerning. You know the feeling you get when you need to pee? I started noticing that I felt this way even when I actually didn’t need to go. It wasn’t that I couldn’t go. There just wasn’t […]

Last night, as the votes came in, I started to wonder if the results were an indicator of what we can expect for 2012. If that turns out to be the case then it just may portend that the most conservative agendas have run their course. Even before the election the landscape has been dramatically […]

This morning I find a news story that caught my interest mainly because it puts forth some compelling stats that I’ve been looking at all along and that you’d get zero perspective on from conservative sources. In fact, I’m fairly certain that virtually any fan of Fox News or conservative radio will see the headline, […]

Great reads of the day: Planned Parenthood is finally speaking out about the one issue most affecting our teenagers:  “Vampires may be immortal, but you’re not… Ladies, just because a vampire says he can’t get you pregnant*, it doesn’t mean he can’t give you an STD.” Now, I realize that not all political persuasions can […]

Today House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was scheduled to give a speech at the University of Pennsylvania‘s Wharton School of Business. At the last minute he backed out and it’s clear it had everything to do with the audience he knew he’d encounter. That’s leadership? He instead submitted a speech that asks a few questions. […]
