As I watched McCain’s announcement for vice president, my first reaction was, “Is he serious!?” I know he is known as a political Maverick, but this move is even beyond his typical unconventional political movements.
Let me start by saying there are things that I like about Senator McCain. I feel he does tend [...]

For months I’ve sat back and listened to radio and television talk show hosts analyze this upcoming presidential race. It seems that everything that should not matter is being emphasized. As the race grows closer in the opinion polls on the democratic side and the republican side alike, I find myself still torn between [...]

When I was in college, I purchased my first car my senior year. It was a 1989 Subaru DL and I was purchasing it in 1998. The air condition worked only certain days of the week and if my friends and my brother sat in the back seat, the bottom of the car scrapped [...]

When I was 7 years old, my father was killed in a car wreck. He was hit by a drunk driver ending his life at the tender age of 36. The drunk driver was also killed in the car wreck. My father in a lot of ways laid the foundation for my perception of [...]

I was listening to one of my favorite local talk show host the other day, Joe Pags, and his topic of the day revolved around the TAKS test.
