• Winter in Syracuse (4 of 8)

  Although I am comfortably far away from the freezing cold of a winter in Syracuse, I did spend the better part of four years in the Salt City. And most of that time was spent living in sub-zero temperatures. This is fourth in an ongoing series of photos taken at Syracuse University during the winter, [...]

• Aleksander Kwasniewski meets with Bush

  On Tuesday, the president of Poland met with Bush. A lively press conference ensued, and after Kwasniewski strongly defended Bush and the (flawed) intelligence to go to war, a question was raised by the press concerning visas. Q — visas for Polish tourists coming to the United States? Q Visa. Visas — do you offer [...]

• Taxing TV Sex

  Applying a sliding tax schedule to television programs, commercials, and overall content, will decrease sexual language on television. A few ideas: The networks will set up a content review board which will determine the amount of sexuality (based on several aspects: nudity, language, etc.) and determine percentages. Then a tax based on those percentages will [...]

• State of the Union – Take 3

  Bush’s third State of the Union speech, hopefully his last, was a conglomerate of campaign rhetoric, platitudes, and scare tactics. Dan Froomkin of the Washington Post, however, noted the following missing items from Bush’s horrific speech. – The traditional long list of major new legislation. – Any mention of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. – Any mention [...]

• Goodbye Gephardt

  Congressmen Dick Gephardt has withdrawn from this race… and thank god! He ran a nasty campaign attacking the former Governor of Vermont, Howard Dean.

• Tax-Cutting Champions

  Our wonderful president proudly put our nation in financial disaster with his sweeping tax cuts. However, come the new year, my federal tax rate increased.
