Wake-up call of the month: The Electric car. I just watched Who Killed the Electric Car?, a documentary about the miraculous rise and diabolical fall of the EV1, the revolutionary electric vehicle General Motors released in the 90’s and finally put to death shortly after the millennium. For those yet to see the movie, (without spoiling anything) the tale goes as such… Electric cars

The Times They Are A-Changin'

The elections are over, and we’ve had a few days to clean up after the party. The political landscape has been demolished, leveled by The Big One we’d all heard rumbling for years. Every news source has beaten the details into the ground – and, God, the anticipation while Virginia teetered on the razor’s edge! It was like a Super Bowl event or something. Our heroes were down, but not out. They’d

Rev. Ted Haggard resigned today from his role as the head of the National Association of Evangelicals amid sodomy charges. He admitted to buying meth -- and receiving a massage -- from the former-escort, but denies allegations he had a once-a-month, years-long "relationship" with the man, Mike Jones. He also denies doing the amphetamines, saying, under conviction from the Lord, he threw them

The last Republican President with any sort of legacy – at least any positive one – was Reagan. And I’m really don’t know what it was supposed to be. I was born in ’87, so the only thing I got from Reagan was DARE, and I stopped paying attention to them when they said pot was a drug. (And, for the record: approximately 105,000 Americans die alcohol-related deaths each year; approximately 365,000

If you haven't picked it up yet, 1776 by David McCoullough is definitely worth a read, and should hopefully give you a new idea of what, exactly, a patriot truly is.
