Take the Quiz… I’ll go first.

I’ve done a couple article’s on Psycho bosses, and recently found this new one.  It comes complete with a test you can take to see how disturbed your boss is.  Have fun…  
Quiz: Is Your Boss a Psychopath?
The standard clinical test for psychopathy, Robert Hare’s PCL-R, evaluates 20 personality traits overall, but a subset of eight traits [...]

Don’t Just Get Informed, Get Involved!

A while back I did an entry about Dennis Kucinich and stated I would follow up with other stories on other candidates. Instead of taking that approach, I decided to evaluate the issues, and then provide each parties stance on them. This will allow you to view where a party stands on the issues instead [...]

Maybe it’s not for sale, maybe justice belongs to the highest bidder.
Facts and truth are not required to file a lawsuit, allegations will suffice, and then it’s up to the lawyers to create truth. A legal battle is really just a war of attrition. Money vs. determination. What runs out first? If forced to defend [...]

Get Informed!

Voting for our elected officials is a right. One that often goes unused. Even worse than not using it, is being an uninformed voter, or voting the way someone else tells you to. Just because you work for someone, doesn’t give them the right to tell you how to think… That, to me, is distinctly [...]

Iraq – What Are We Doing There, Really?

The war in Iraq is a travesty. Today, that view is shared by many people, but I’m not just jumping on this bandwagon. I don’t want to sound like a paranoid conspiracy theorist, but the real motivation was clear to me, long before the actual invasion started.

Tax Reform, Where to Start?

I read a great post by Cronk, and it fits right in with one of the topics I wish to explore on this blog. Be sure to read Cronk’s post at the end.
