As you probably know, the Supreme Court upheld the constitutionality of ObamaCare. I’ll leave it to political websites to debate, praise, and criticize the ruling. My concern now turns toward the Health and Human Services Mandate which will require businesses and organizations to cover contraception expenses regardless of their religious beliefs. What are we, as people of […]

I did something stupid — I updated the BIOS on my computer’s motherboard thinking it would solve a problem with my CPU fan. As a result, my computer blue screened at Windows start up. So I was without a functional computer for over a week resulting in lost productivity and a lot of frustration. For those who

I have a feeling this year’s presidential election is going to get much uglier than in years past. Politics has always been a dirty business, but lately everyone seems to act so much more “unhinged.” People are expressing the slightest disagreements with such high levels of vitriol and anger. Looking at some peoples’ reactions, supporting

So everyone is happy, right? The only people left complaining are those religious, woman-hating extremists who will never be satisfied, right? That’s probably the impression you

Can you settle down for just one minute? Seriously, how long can you go without feeling like you need to do some sort of activity? I don’t know about you, but I feel like I always have to do something. I feel anxious if I’m “unplugged” and not checking email, Facebook, and news feeds. I

Upon being elevated to the cardinalate on Feb 18 in Rome, Cardinal Dolan of New York said he has a long way to go spiritually. He said to reporters: As grateful as I am for being a Cardinal, I really want to be a saint. I mean that, and I’ve got a long way to go

Scandals in professional sports is nothing new. Every few weeks we hear about an athlete cheating on a spouse, using drugs, squandering money on an extravagant lifestyle, or being arrested for any number of crimes. And yet, if you were to take the secular media’s take on professional sports, the most scandalous and controversial athlete

There are so many events in the news that I could write about in today’s post. I could continue talking about the Health and Human Services contraception mandate, Proposition 8 being ruled unconstitutional in California, or the Susan G. Komen Foundation’s flip-flop on sending money to Planned Parenthood. It seems like everywhere I turn, whether
