The Vatican Needs a Makeover
April 29, 2008
April 2nd marked three years since the passing on Pope John Paul II and this past week marked the first visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the United States - two Popes with drastically different images. You’ve read my criticism of Benedict, so I won’t repeat myself here. Instead, I’ll tell you why my memories of John Paul II are so different. Read more
How to Improve Foreign Policy
April 28, 2008
As former President Jimmy Carter and Secretary of State Condi Rice continue to spar over Carter’s recent meetings with Hamas’ leaders in the Middle East, one thing is for sure – the U.S. needs radical change in its foreign policy.
Personally, I’m not a big fan of Carter. I remember the “national malaise” of which he so famously spoke, and waiting with my father in long, long gas lines. As a President, he was pretty much useless. However, I’m not so quick to condemn his overseas trips and apparent “snuggling” with those who wish to see our demise. On the contrary, he may actually make himself useful. Read more
What Americans Care About – Part III of III
April 25, 2008
“You’re going to see a lot more luxury cars in Wal-Mart parking lots.”
Now we’re getting closer to what Americans care about. They won’t give up their expensive, gas-guzzling cars before they switch commodity brands. No more ultra soft, super absorbent, strawberry fragranced, premium Charmin toilet paper. They’ll drive the buggy to the Wal-Mart for the store brand. Read more
What Americans Care About – Part II of III
April 24, 2008
If the Iraq war doesn’t incite anger and action, what does? Oh, man, it must be those evil oil companies who are making more money than God and lining the pockets of Dick Cheney and every Republican in sight. This topic is a little closer to the answer, but still not spot-on. Here’s why. Read more
What Americans Care About – Part I of III
April 23, 2008
In this presidential election year, let’s get this out in the open right away: Americans aren’t particularly bothered about the Iraq War. Yes…you heard right. I mean, sure, there’s a war, and they mention it at times on the news (although, with the Barack/Hillary show in progress, I can’t recall seeing a piece on the war on TV in weeks.) Read more
Politicians are Elitists
April 22, 2008
“You’re out of touch, I’m out of time.” - Haul and Oates.
Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton recently showed Pennsylvania voters just how “down” they are with regular folks by bowling, praising Jesus and, of course, drinking with rednecks. In addition, Hillary went out of her way to pump up her pro-gun rights positions and condemn Obama’s super-liberal anti-gun stances. When asked by a reporter when was the last time she’d fired a gun or went to church, Hillary said it was not relevant. Not relevant? She’s parading around the state labeling Obama an elitist when her own tax returns dwarf those of Bush and Cheney combined? Newsflash: Almost all of our politicians are elitists! Don’t believe me? Just ask any Senator and most U.S. Representatives the following questions: Read more
13 Things John McCain is Older Than
April 21, 2008
I’m guest blogging today over at The Chiri Chronicles. Stop by for a visit. I’ve spent an inordinate amount of time blogging about the Democratic side of the Presidential election. So, in the interest of fairness and, more importantly, me getting a day off from writing, I’ve asked a good friend of mine (McCain supporter) to guest blog and make a case for McCain for President. That’ll be out by the end of the week. By the way, we have no set rules as to why guest bloggers are selected. Send me an email if you’re ever interested. We highly encourage dissenting opinions and rebuttals to previous posts of mine. Read more
Religion and Politics. America vs. Europe

Today’s guest blogger is Chiri, a friend of mine who has been blogging since January ’05. She’s a Gibraltarian, cultural observer, and recovering revolutionary. This post is about a subject near and dear to my heart, the separation of church and state. -RHM Read more
Daniel E. Williams and “The Naked Truth about Drugs”
April 17, 2008
In a recent post, I condemned the legions of “keyboard commandos” on the internet. In addition, I mentioned one of the perks of being a blogger – meeting interesting people. Daniel Williams, 2008 Presidential candidate for the Libertarian Party, falls squarely into that category. Daniel is also the author of “The Naked Truth about Drugs”, a copy of which he graciously sent to me. Here’s a quick review. Comments and criticism are welcome. By the way, he’s the naked guy in the photo. Read more
