Real Journalism


Don't believe me? Check it out...

Common sense, thorough analysis, and straight facts.

Possibly the finest single piece of journalism out there.

US news outlets could learn a little something from the Brits in this particular case.

What's Your Life's Soundtrack?


I have always owned Apple products, all the way back to the Mac Classic, and have always been impressed by their inate intuitivness, ease of use, and cutting edge design.

Can products define who you are? The advertising community would certainly like us to think so. But the defining is more in how you use that product than whether you have one or not.

It is easy to sport the latest widget...but what do you actually do with it?

The iPod is the perfect example. Sure, it plays music in a very transportable and convenient way. But what do you use that music, beautifully and practically captured in an iPod, for?

Inspiration...a workout companion...to define who you are to your latest love interest?

Ever thought about a soundtrack to your life?

What are the "Gender Studies" Feminists to do?


Finally...a woman candidate for national level executive office who is actually...a woman.

No pantsuit, no short hair, 5 children (good God! they hiss), and strong...in a woman's way. Sara Palin has not only shattered the glass ceiling, she has done it as...god forbid...a woman

Let's hope the archetype of the "modern feminist" is gone with Hillary Clinton's failed bid for the Presidency...and none too soon. Here is woman who holds convictions driven by purpose and not by polls. Here is a woman who can walk into a board room and demand respect, not by failed "affirmative action" policies but by convictions of conscience. What traditional, Gloria Steinem emulating feminists have always failed to understand about men is that we ultimately respect not what sex you have happened to be born with. We respect the strength and authenticity of your convictions.

Hillary Clinton never had it.

Sara Palin always had it.

You can't fake it...no matter how hard you try.
