Birth of the 'Culture Wars' - Lee Iacocca, Joe Bageant and George Carlin - (USA)
I Was There at the Birth Stephen Pizzo - News for Real I was there when it began, the ugliness, the ever-so thinly-veiled racism, the attacks on the press. It was August, 1992. The place, the Houston Astrodome. The occasion, the Republican nominating convention. First some spacial data; the press gallery inside the enormous dome was to the right of the podium, about 15 feet above the convention floor. Animosity towards the working press was apparent from the moment I stepped inside.

But he’s the one who made a big deal over his religious faith… It’s the hypocrisy, stupid! He doesn’t need the South Side black churches any more. He’s made it. He can forget them.

Edubabble - what DO those words mean? - (USA)
Every industry has its own "inside baseball" terminology and my industry, information technology, certainly has more than its own share of them. Listen to two or more folks who are well schooled in their industry and it is almost a sure bet that an outsider will be lost in just a little while. Or worse, led astray - hearing something and taking it in a given direction, but finding out later that what you thought a word meant was way different than what you thought. Well, your local educational

Maybe the economic downturn does have a silver lining (see the Royal Gorge post). I wrote about Excel Academy in 2006.

You Don't Have To Be A Republican To Be A Christian. - (USA)
While growing up in the south I thought all Christians were Republicans that was until I realize the word "Republican" referred to politics...In my early teens I hadn't grasp the concepts of governments and political agendas, the correlation made perfect sense: Almost all the white kids in my school in the late 70's were Republicans and Christians so "Republican" must equal "Christian." Even today people believe Christians have a specific political agenda, more specifically, a conserva

Toto Rocks! - (USA)
It was a night of mixed emotions. Everyone was excited to see Toto's original lead vocals, Bobby Kimball, perform but there were also some who were anxious on how would the people respond to the first ever live concert by an international artist in GenSan. I was referring to my parents and their co-Rotarians. We were at the Gym as early as 7:30 p.m. even though the concert will start at 9 o'clock because my parents still have some things to attend to before the concert will finally start. Being

All I Want for Christmas Is to Make Obama’s Enemies List - (USA)
I was too young and too obscure to make Richard Nixon’s enemies list back in the day. Not yet out of my teens, my attendance at subversive rallies against the Vietnam War and my contributions to a wildly anti-Nixon publication at my high school we bravely called The Truth just weren’t enough to bring me to the attention of Charles Colson. Thus, I never had a chance
