The Beatles Are Coming to Rock Band

Friday, October 31st, 2008

The musigame wars are heating up! Guitar Hero is trying to one-up their competition with multi-colored cardboard Burger King meal boxes. Rock Band? They’ve just signed the biggest musical act of all time.

Heritage Foundations Take on Candidates Fiscal Policy

Wednesday, October 29th, 2008

I recently saw an Obama ad (who hasn’t) that cited a recommendation by the Heritage Foundation. I knew the Heritage Foundation to be a fiscally conservative organization, which also happens to be the wisest course given the last 60 years of out-of-control government spending (by both parties!) but I wanted to check for myself.

Ordinary Joes have mixed feelings on wealth
Not an entirely unfair AP article but fails to mention that income tax was originally planned to be a stop-gap measure which was to be eliminated. Unfortunately, politicians grew drunk on the power of money distribution, thus government has grown both in size and members ever since. How can [...]

Mattel Doll Promoting Islam?

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

You be the judge. Does the little doll say, as some are suggesting, “Islam is the light.”?
