Occupying Wall Street from the Midwest
We have seen the force of Occupy Wall Street dwindle over the past months since the country has swung into Election Mode. However, that does not diminish it's initial impact.

A recent survey found that marriage rates in the United States had dropped precipitously. Only 51% of Americans were married, and marriage rates are dropping similarly in other developed nations. Given how most of the benefits of marriage are conferred by the government, come from being in a happy relationship, or aren’t even...

There is a general agreement that the government should be able to enter the family unit in order to protect children, but under what conditions? Child abuse and neglect are the obvious intervention worthy offenses, but foster care has recently removed a child due to weight issues.

I’m sure there’s some more mature ways for me to address gay pride, but since I, like most men, have a 12-year-old boy just under the surface, and almost everything sexual for me ultimately inspires thoughts of lubrication (natural or otherwise, and regardless of gender combo), let’s talk about hot, wet...

I am a bad feminist. I’m not sure I’m even a feminist at all by the modern definition. Quite frankly, I’m hiding out in my little homemade bunker from modern feminists that will hurl flaming bags of dog poop at me when they read this. What, you may ask, might lead me to say this? It’s probably because I don’t buy into the...

If you are like me, the endless diatribes and battles we’ve watched go on with healthcare the last year has left you exhausted. Are you tired of hearing how making any changes to the health care industry is going to ruin, bankrupt or lead this country to a new era of totalitarian fascism? Me too. I’ve lost respect...

Dear Democratic Congress: What the hell is your problem? No, I mean seriously? Stop being a such a bunch of pussies and govern, for fucks sake. We need you to start acting like you own the place. Because in case you haven’t noticed, you OWN THE PLACE! And based on your performance so far, y’all got about 11 months left...

Despite all the coverage on the news, it can sometimes be difficult to figure out exactly where we are in the process of health care reform.

So, apparently, if you want to work for certain government contractors (aka Halliburton or KBR), upon employment you must sign a contract which says rape allegations will be handled by private arbitration. Oh. Ok, sure, I will sign that. Because I completely trust that a company who has bothered to include a rape clause in their...

So, this was going to be a rant about Glenn Beck and how someone over at Fox needs to please, please for the love of decency get him some medication. (Probably they don’t have decent health insurance over at Fox… poor Glenn) But, instead I’m gonna talk about ignorance. Ignorance as a method for protecting children...

…but you can get them in blood. (A response to Laurel’s post on health care reform) Federally run healthcare. Federalized. Healthcare. I sat down today, and I wondered- what does the government already handle related to healthcare, that they don’t fuck up? I am not a rich person. My family is not rich. Neither I,...
