  • I Liked Ike -- Now I Like Mike - HUCKABEE, that is

    I liked everything I heard about Mike Huckabee, even before he started running in earnest for his Party's Nomination to be our next U.S. President. The more I learned about Mike Huckabee, the better I liked his candidacy. Further, he is a very well-spoken and persuasive guy, with that down-to-Earth Midwestern style I always liked about ...

  • My Samoan Mother Does Not Need Affirmative Action

    An AA surgeon, who got into medical school with lower aptitude, grades, test scores and abilities, should operate on my Samoan mother, even though there are better-qualified physicians! Besides your Native grandmother makes you a bigger victim than me with a Mexican (Aztec) mother, so you need AA more. However, I am especially needy, because my ...

  • Obama's Reparations

    Lately, I have been having conversations about a topic of profound significance to me. Essentially, I believe that if (probably when) Obama becomes president, as the masterful communicator that he is, he will be able to bring the issue of reparations for slavery into the national consciousness. For too long the issue of reparations has been ...

  • Is This for Real ? ?

    I can't believe that with all the issues our country has that what a candidate's wife wears and where it was purchased is of any importance. As long as someone isn't naked and their clothing is clean, I have no desire to know anything more. I am also astonished that once again the American public is trying to make someone conform to ''our'' ...

  • The best use of the National Review's resources?

    Apparently the National Review has too little time to re-check its assumptions -- http://www.google.com/holidaylogos.html The link goes to a series of pages dedicated to showcasing the various logos that Google's coders have put up since 1999. And it would be far-fetched to take the ''anti-American'' stance considering how a good regular number ...

  • Run, Chicken, Run

    As a vegan who lives in the country, grows as much of her own food as she can, and works for Farm Sanctuary, which operates the largest rescue and refuge network for farm animals in North America, I find, ''Notes on the urban chicken movement'' deeply disturbing. To enter into the business of killing, and continuing to do so – fighting every ...

  • smartphones, dumb stories

    1. Is the NYT article on pink smartphones taking a cue from Sex and The City. The box office hit portrays women as obsessed with fashion, and especially shoes? 2. Is the NYT taking a swipe at Hillary by associating technology with a ''mans world''? Hillary reportedly is ''manly''. 3. My wife is not amused by such ''chilvary''. She is a small ...

  • What's Bringing Down the American Male?

    Why are males graduating at a lower rate from high school? Why are fewer males attending university? Why are homicide and suicide rates for males, ecspecially African American males, between 15- 27 so high and seemingly increasing? Is there a crop of males who are effectively 'throw aways', like the young males of the Mormon fundamentalist ...

  • Procrastination and Risk Aversion

    As an intercultural consultant, I am surprised that none of the studies that were mentioned looked at the connection between procrastination and risk aversion or uncertainty avoidance. It seems to me that in cultures with higher risk aversion and uncertainty avoidance as values, they would not perceive procrastination as procrastination, but ...
