Quality interweb mischief from Jared Bridges
From stuffing his clothing, to Ronald Reagan-style makeup jobs, to the mountain-man look, Al Gore has changed his appearance as often as John Kerry changes his position. His latest look seems to be that of Ed Rooney, the evil school principal from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. Compare: Ed Rooney Angry Al Gore I report, you … Read more
For 51 weeks out of the year, TruePravda is all about love, sweet love. But this is the week where love is thrown to the wind (Hurricane Ivan needs all the love he can get, eh?) and hatred rises in full force. Yes, I’m talking about hatred of the University of Florida Gators (not to … Read more
The whole Rathergate scandal with the forged documents regarding Bush’s National Guard service reminds me of how similar the free flow of information is to free markets. In the old media, information and subsequent analysis of information flowed through only a handful of sources. The advent of the blogosphere has now given rise to countless … Read more
May God bless the families of those who have fallen, and keep those who continue fight.
After reading the blogs and a couple of “watercooler conversations,” it’s interesting to me how many people suspect that the apparently forged memos regarding the President’s National Guard service could be part of an elaborate setup by the Karl Rove and his minions.

I’ve always been a bit of a chronophile (if I may invent such a term). Time, as a concept, has intrigued me for as long as I can remember. Sci-fi which included time travel was always my favorite. In middle school, I even directed a short film, starring my brothers and cousin, which was to … Read more
There are some things that should never take place on a Sunday—weddings and college football are definitely among them. These two events conspired to keep me from viewing the Tennessee Vols’ home opener yesterday, a 42-17 victory over UNLV. Qohelet tells us that for everything there is a season. It’s time we take his advice … Read more
If you’re an American, and you’re still undecided, today is Groundhog Day. Come out of your hole for a bit and see whether or not you see your shadow. There are sixty days left—look to the left and find flip-flops and floundering. Look to the right, and you’ll see a plan, a proven record, and … Read more
