After deciding not to circulate my parody picture of a bottle of "Infidelity for men – It’ll F*ck Ya", I still had an uneasy feeling. It’s the unease of creating something artistic but never "putting it out there." I had a few other image ideas so I fired up Illustrator, cranked out the high resolution …
When I heard about John Edwards’ infidelity and realized that meant he would be out of VP contention, it made me angry. It made me angry for all the male politicians that have gone before that couldn’t keep their codpiece in their pants. I went so far as to create a photoshopped version of the …

One minute video on Love, Labrador style. What do you look like when you’re in love?

The Flip Video Mino has a built-in wide range microphone and there is no Audio In input. According to the Flip Support site, the subject should be within 12 feet …
Many of us wiped our eyes as we walked away from the recently released film, Swing Vote. I personally felt that the film hit home with the concept that every vote counts. The premise of the film is that Bud Johnson (played by Kevin Costner) is the deciding vote in a dead heat presidential election. …

As Twittering Republican congressmember John Culberson staged a makeshift post session sit-in on the House floor, I sent him a single tweet asking him to look for sensible and sustainable energy solutions instead of harmful ones.

Today is my 31st consecutive day blogging and I have now earned my NaBloPoMo July blogger badge. On this day I declare myself a Blogger and I bestow upon myself all the rights, attitudes, and lack of funds as others who have gone before me. Ok, ceremony is over. But really, it’s been a great …
