November has been a tough month for me.  My favorite fighter, Randy Couture was laid out in the second round by a fighter with virtually no MMA experience.  Likewise, the very experienced John McCain was beaten down by Barack Obama.
It is no secret who I wanted to win this competition.  Obama has had no significant political achievement…until [...]

Last Chance for No-bama!

It appears this will be my last stab at the man who has done nothing except give good speeches and provide “hope” before he is my new boss According to the polls, Obama should win. I am desperately hanging onto that margin of error. I am convinced even more he is the wrong man.

Let us start with a little background. I was [...]

McCain a New TR

July 17th, 2008 – 9:00 am Posted by TK

There was an article on the front page of the Sunday New York Times that discusses John McCain modeling his political views after the progressive Republican Theodore Roosevelt (TR).
I have long being a fan of TR. I have read almost every biography of him and was even a member of the TR Association for [...]
