Patriotism that loves our country, our land, and our planet
The New York Times had a brief and POOR-ly titled article on the White House’s recent (and surprisingly factual) report on climate change. The article’s title “White House: Poor Face Health Risks From Warming” may cause a reader to dismiss the article, and thus the report, in a “phew-atleast-I-don’t-face-health-risks” manner. In fact, the 271 page [...]
All across the US and the world news agencies are reporting, Israel has chosen a national bird. In honor of their 60th anniversary as a country, they concluded a nationwide campaign to appoint a national bird. Some news articles are making sure we know the chosen bird is not kosher. Others are celebrating the fact [...]
Chevron’s annual stockholder meeting held at company headquarters in San Ramon, California, has become a magnet for criticism in recent years as environmental and human rights groups use it to voice their grievances with the company. This year was no different, as protesters with HAZ-MAT suits and paper brooms labeled “Clean Up Chevron” greeted shareholders [...]

Personally, I can’t imagine he will be elected, but I have [...]
This morning I took a nice long bike ride around my current hometown of Annapolis, Maryland. As the home of the US Naval Academy (and lots of USNA alumni), it is a town that really pulls out the stops when it comes to recognizing Memorial Day as a day to remember the sacrifices made by [...]

I read this terrific article in the LA Times last week. It had handwriting experts analyze the signatures of the three presidential candidates. One glaring exclusion was the analysis of our current commander in chief. So, I called (drawed) in an expert to fill that void. Here’s what he had to say:
Our communities are concerned about the price of gas. Everywhere I go people are talking about how gas prices are effecting their finances and businesses. MarketWatch reports that this Memorial Day weekend some motorists will choose to stay home, or at least closer to home, because of the price of gas. There is much discussion [...]
