Finally, the 2-year long presidential race is drawing to a close. During this final stretch, does the McCain campaign choose to draw in new voters by advocating and promoting his own plans and strategies as President? Or does he and Gov Palin continually mock and attempt to ignite fear over Sen Obama? Hmmm, gee I [...]

Local Politics

As many know, I like to volunteer for the Young Democrats of Utah. This election cycle, their overall campaign slogan has been focused around “16 Votes.”
In 2006, one of the local Democratic candidates, Laura Black (I believe), lost to her Republican opponent by only 18 votes. That just seems insane! You never hear anything like [...]
Elephants in the Room
Posted in Personal on October 21, 2008 | 2 Comments »
We met and I told you the truth,
My past, my men, my women and self.
Why did I change, what were you for me?
That I could abandon all, for one I couldn’t see?
All the silences and the fights over doom,
All the dishes are rattling from the elephants in the room.
I skipped and jumped past years of [...]

Colin Powell Endorses Obama

This week, former Secretary of State Colin Powell announced that he was supporting Senator Obama in his candidacy for President. I have some mixed feelings about this one, as many people know how strongly anti-Powell I was a very short time ago. And yet, he spoke very eloquently about why he was breaking with his [...]

Wow, so Joe the Plumber. So interesting to hear how interested the nation is in this one guy. He’s been pretty thoroughly commented on already so I won’t waste much space, but isn’t it hilarious what people’s backgrounds actually show? One man questions one of the presidential candidates’ tax plans, and all of a sudden [...]

Ok, now that I’ve had further time to digest this development with the Mormon church and Proposition 8 in California, I have some further thoughts on it.
First, here are the things going on that I have the biggest problem with:
1: The church donates over 10 million dollars to the support of Proposition 8
2: The general [...]

There was a “brown bag” discussion today at Westminster college to discuss the show. The director, Jenni Lou Oakes, the playwright, Laekin Rogers, the director of the department, Michael Vought, and several members of the cast attended. We took questions and discussed the show from a psychological and social point of view with members of [...]
