Generosity
It’s easy to be generous with other people’s money. True nobility is charity and sacrifice of your own possessions, by your own free will.
Innovation
I’m convinced that if someone invented a teleportation device, the automotive Union would complain about losing jobs. Progress requires innovation. If we are to prosper as a country, we must make progress, and prosperity always trumps the temporary consequences of innovation.
Going Green
“Going Green”, by today’s standards, seems to mean “paying more to accomplish the same thing”. As with any reasonable capitalist society, as soon as “Going Green” means “paying less”, the entire world will be doing it. It’s not that people don’t care about environmental issues, it’s that they care more about paying their bills.
Taxing the Rich

Not Even Trying to Hide It
Looks like the folks over at the Huffington Post are having a mass collective orgasm over Obama’s recent race speech. They just can’t get enough of this guy. Love at first sight? A match made in heaven? You decide.
Headaches
I probably spend 12+ hours a day looking at a computer screen, and it’s starting to take its toll. I’ve been experiencing painful headaches lately, so it looks like I need to use my computer for work only for a while. Blog posts will be short and infrequent until the headaches subside.
Let’s Face It, He’s a Political Phenom
In 2004, I watched Barack Obama give the keynote speech (part 1 | part 2) at the Democratic National Convention. I told my mom, and later I mentioned it to Meredith (who I had just started dating), that he would be the next President of the United States. Little did I know that he would [...]
