Political mudslinging is commonplace in every election that history has had a pen and paper to record. Mudslinging, however, is different from what we’re seeing with John McCain and the GOP. First, as put eloquently by Dr. James Zogby, even insinuating that Barack Obama is somehow less American, less trustworthy, or less in […]

John McCain has finally walked back his false character attacks on Senator Obama. It’s too bad that it got this far.

I like this video of Obama predicting this line of attack

Vote for Change is a pretty cool website that makes it impressively easy to figure out where you stand as far as registration and voting. If only government run websites could be this easy. Check it out if you still have questions.
This is mildly funny and extremely unbelievable. Absentee ballots that were […]

UPDATE:
Obama responds to Ayers attacks with a more detailed response to describe the common sense conclusion that most of America came to on their own.
It’s been a chaotic few weeks with getting settled in and all, but I need to mention how hard it has been to be productive with so much going on in […]

After getting the apartment here in Portland, I’ve been spending the last week wrapping up the insurance claim on the bike, running errands, getting to know the area, and following the RED SOX. Up 2-0 in the first round of the playoffs, I’ve been ecstatic to have my satellite radio work everywhere downtown. […]

Hi Everyone -
Apologies for the lack of blog updating. We arrived in Portland about a week ago and were very excited for Missy and Jason’s wedding. That happened over the weekend and could not have been a better time. The night we arrived in Portland […]

I mentioned to Caitlin that I feel like, with unlimited funds, I could do this for quite a bit longer. All our basic needs are met, as well as some basic comforts. Limitations are there… but don’t seem to get in the way. Brendan and I have talked about, with the exception […]

After a few days of breakdowns, amazing drives, and torrential rain at ridiculous altitudes we found a small town north of Whistler called Pemberton. Our goal upon finding Pemberton was to find out if they had pizza, get some, make camp. We walked into DiCarlo’s Italian Restaurant and found Liz and Romeo. […]

When this whole thing started, it was hard to imagine what three months on the road would be like. I had images of being completely walled off from society, images of meeting new people in every town, and the wonder of when I would really start to miss friends and loved ones. So […]

Every biker we talked to on our way into Sturgis from the Badlands told us that we’d be finding one of two things. The kindest and most warm-hearted people, or the craziest party we could imagine. Now, Brendan and I are all about having some crazy experiences on this trip, and getting to […]

I’m sad to say that most of the scientific material in this book of excerpts from Einstein’s publications and speeches, material aimed at a general audience, went right over my head. Much more interesting were the discussions of such topics as religion and science, international peace, nuclear war, and Germany, Israel, and the Jewish people. […]

Just left Tristan’s place at Jackson Wyoming, so I thought it would be a good time to discuss a book he gave me which I read on the trip- A Confederacy of Dunces. It was hilarious. It was touching in a weird way. The strongest thought I had after putting the book down was that […]
