I don’t trust the latest staff shakeups in the White House. First Karl Rove resigns, and now Gonzales. The President’s two fiercest defenders have both left the White House, and only two weeks apart. Don’t get me wrong, I’ve been in favor of Gonzales leaving since he first stepped foot in the Attorney General’s office, [...]
I recently watched Sicko, the new documentary by Mike Moore. While it focuses much of its attention on the American healthcare system, it makes most of its argument by comparing it to the healthcare systems of countries with socialized medicine, such as Canada, Great Britain, France, and Cuba.

Hi everyone, we’re super-excited to be a part of this fun blogging business, though we only really know Kyle and Dawn. Maybe we’re the western contingent right now (colorado that is); anyone else from this side of the Mississip?
At any rate, we wanted to start off with a bang of an article and a topic [...]
