Asides
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 [...]
Income Taxes …
… are my single largest monthly expense. Literally, 1 out 6 working hours are done in order to pay the government.
When are we going to wake up and realize that income taxes don’t just suck, they are a form of modern citizen slavery! But instead of working a plantation at the tip of a whip, [...]
Something to Ponder
Do you believe the Bible is inspired … because the Bible says it’s inspired?

Fred Thompson Pulls Out…

I Knew It Would Happen Eventually
Yes, after over a year of relentless writing and promoting this blog, the subscriber numbers peaked at 100 and has been plateaued there for months. But after only a few months of being in existence, hardly any promotion, and no real effort on my part to grow the subscriber base, my NathanRice.net blog, just [...]
AiG On Distant Starlight
Answers in Genesis, the most notable Young Earth Creationist ministry in America, has published an article today that addresses one of my main concerns with YEC.
Have a look, if you have the stomach for it. It’s long and a little in-depth for the average reader, but feel free to take a look and let me [...]
Public Funding for FireFighters Drops, Sparks Surge in Private Sector
The Raw Story reports:
Today, a decline in public funding for firefighting services has sparked explosive growth in the private sector. The world’s largest insurance company – American Insurance Group – now has “Wildfire Protection Units” in 150 US zip codes.
In my humble opinion, this is the triumph of the American ideal. It makes perfect sense [...]
