American Religion X

A new survey released by the Pew Foundation this week finds that more Americans are becoming “unaffiliated” while at the same time more Americans are becoming more religious i.e. rigid, fanatical, extremists, Pat Robertson, et al. The study also finds that Hindus are the best educated and among wealthiest Americans - no surprise there at [...]

Officially Converted!

It is not easy to convert. That fact has been established long time ago. You must be wondering what conversion I’m talking about. And no, it’s not religion. Besides, why would I convert to a new religion just because I’m “discovering enlightenment” in college? Anyway, that is beside the point. I’m converting from PC to [...]

Negative Attacks

In what seems to be an escalating war of words, Chemistry.com (online dating site) has started running a new negative ad against eharmony.com, the leading online dating site.

Sitting in my comfortable therapeutic library chair, where the temperature of the day is expected to reach mid 50 degree fahrenhait, I can only send my sympathy to those folks who have to get up and go [...]

It is over!

Yep, the Writers Guild of America’s strike is officially over! I didn’t realize how important these writers are to society until they started striking. I know what I’m saying sounds quite childish and non-important in the bigger picture, but let me convince you that television and movie writers are very important. Number one, at least [...]

So They Say

Violence in Kenya has only gotten worst in the past few weeks, leaving many to describe the situation as “ethnic cleansing” and even some to use the dreaded term “genocide.” The last time I checked, the conservative estimate of the dead was hovering between 800 to 850; nonetheless, the disputing parties are not making any [...]
