Music Collecting – Classical
I have been an avid, some might say obsessive, music fan for as long as I can remember. As a result, I have a much bigger collection of music than anyone with as little money as I have had should have. Recently, I decided to start cataloging my collection. It’s in pretty rough shape after…

What's Good For His Revolution Won't Be Good For Bernie's Presidential Hopes
Bernie Sanders wants to be President of the United States. He also wants to start a “revolution” against the “billionaire class.” Unfortunately for him, these are incompatible goals. In fact, Bernie’s ascent to the Oval Office would be about the worst thing that could happen to his revolution. This is something I’ve been feeling for…

Bernie and Donald
I’ve been seeing something baffling lately. I don’t know if it’s widespread or if it’s just a quirk of my social media feeds, but I’ve been seeing a bunch of people saying that Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders are the same. I don’t mean to say that they have similarities (I’ll talk about those later). …

Pros and Cons
As I’ve mentioned previously, I am an undecided voter. In my continuing effort to decide, I had the thought that I could steal an idea from a bunch of sitcoms and make pro and con lists for both candidates. I know full well that this won’t do much good. It’s not like all pros and…

One Issue Candidates
In 1996, I took a class on political communication. Since it was a presidential election year, our big project was to follow a candidate from January through May and write a report about them, specifically focusing on their communication style. It was a good project and I learned a lot. I was assigned Steve Forbes. …

L, Not 50, L
Superbowl L happened tonight. It was one of the worst football games I’ve ever watched, so I’d rather not talk about the game. But, I do want to talk about the logo. It had a big five-zero in it. Every other Superbowl that I remember has used Roman numerals. This one used Arabic numerals. If…
