I left a comment on a USA Today news article titled; Palin attacks Rahm Emanuel for using the word ‘retarded’. It was flagged as inappropriate.
Now just to be clear on things, I have watched this woman’s antics ever since it was first announced that she had been picked as John McCain’s running mate (Sarah who?). [...]

Politics. The greatest threat the United States ever faced.

By Kirk M | Published January 29, 2010

I watched the State of the Union. I’ve watched the GOP response. I’ve watched the President and the GOP’s Q & A session.
I’ve read the articles and comments. The supporters and non-supporters and the usual pack of idiots who keep insisting on throwing around terms like communism, socialism, fascism and Marxism when they have absolutely [...]

By Kirk M | Published September 7, 2009

To their defense I realize that no one likes change and there’s plenty of change going on [...]

The day the Social stood still

By Kirk M | Published August 6, 2009

I’m not going to say that this day will ever live in infamy (it won’t) but much to the social set’s dismay, all of Twitter and rather large parts of Facebook went down this morning reportedly from DoS attacks. Now I have a Facebook account that I dabble in just about everyday for [...]

On Same Sex Marriage in Vermont

By Kirk M | Published April 27, 2009

Same sex marriage in Vermont. I suppose I have to say something about it seeing as how I live here and all but I doubt many people are going to beat down my door just to hear me say it. Still, I feel I need to say something—and here it is:
