Recently, a new movie came out on DVD called “Meet Bill.” It was an odd movie to say the least. It featured a mentor, Bill, in the middle of some very precarious life situations. Bill becomes a little unglued and during this time, he happens to be signed up to be part of a mentoring […]

If you happened to read through some of my past movie reviews, you may have noticed I rent movies from a local RedBox. What exactly is the RedBox? The RedBox is a DVD kiosk placed in a wide variety of locations throughout the United States allowing customers to rent newly released movies for one night […]

Your first inclination may be to ask how tax and fair can be remotely placed in such close proximity. If you ask any segment of our society, they will all explain how they are taxed inappropriately and other classes of our society are receiving better benefits than they currently are. Of course, every class is […]

Recently, I finished a book I had been reading off and on for a while. “The Economic Naturalist: In Search of Explanations for Everyday Enigmas” by Robert H. Frank provides a simple statement about how we make our choices in our lives. This statement is one in which I have, through the years, tried to […]

Over the weekend, I watched an online news clip from CNN’s medical correspondent, Dr. Sanjay Gupta and I just had to write an article about the subject.

The other day, I found an intriguing thought/concept posted on Jeremy Zawodny’s personal blog. He poses a question regarding airlines and the concept of charging people ticket prices based upon their weight. Of course the concept was not held in high regards by the majority of his responders but is the theory behind the question […]

Recently, I purchased the book “Don’t Start the Revolution Without Me” written by Jesse Ventura because I’m always looking for new ways to spark alternative thought processes. I happened to see Jesse’s appearance on the Tonight Show promoting his latest book and I thought it would be something of substance. Jesse has long been known […]

As always, I began my day yesterday surfing the news and ran across something provocative to write about. The New Yorker magazine published its latest issue with a “satirical” caricature on the front cover. If you haven’t heard or seen it yet, it’s a depiction of Barack Obama with his wife Michelle in an unappealing […]

Over the weekend, I visited our local Redbox again to pick up some new movies to rent and watch. I picked up the movie “Stop-Loss” and while watching it and discussing the movie with my wife, I thought it would be a perfect movie to write an article about. First off, I want to give […]
