A First For Me

So let me be straight with you. I don't think I have ever written a politically correct post that never offended anyone. Now I don't think there is anything wrong with that, but some people do. I spent a lot of time thinking about what I was going to write about in my first politically correct post, that was not offensive to anyone, and that just about everyone could agree on. Then it hit me. An idea so brilliant in it's simplicity. So here it is.....

Pop Culture Scales

Let's be honest, normal scales have gotten old. One to ten this, one to ten that. How boring! Well what if they used pop culture icons as a scale? That got me thinking. And then I ended up with this.

Some Yankee Puns

So as I wasted my life on Twitter, I found inspiration. One of the things that was trending was #UseAYankeeInASentence. Challenge Accepted. I went through the roster and picked out some names that I could use in a sentence. Some of them are a reach so it helps if you read them out loud.

Religion. Yeah. I Went There.

In the past few months I have blogged about things I believe in. That was all just superficial and this post is bound to step on some toes. There is one topic that is most often avoided because of the controversy that follows it like an ominous cloud: religion. Lacking a better term that sums up the moment: shit just got real. So this is where you can see how I truly feel about something. There are few people who I trust to tell this to, but I wanted to make a leap and literally spell it out right here in my blog.

Boondock Saints

After finishing one of the greatest movies of all time, Boondock Saints, I had the urge to write about it. I have seen this movie a number of times, and it resonates with me each time. This story follows two devout Irish Catholic brothers, Connor and Murphy MacManus, who live in Boston. After a bar fight gone wrong, they become vigilantes on the streets of Boston. Their friend Rocco, a delivery man for the Italian mob joins forces with them after a night of heavy drinking. Looking past the vulgarity and violence, there lies a more pressing social issue.

Some Presidential Poetry

If you've ever read my blog before or know me personally, you know I am a pretty poetic guy. So instead of writing a novel that summarizes each of the Republican candidates in 2012, I had the inspiration to write a little poem about each. Not some big long ballad, but a Haiku. Just a quick three line poem that is easy to write and easier to read. Includes all candidates from the very beginning to those that have stuck it out to the end.

Don't Do It Hillary!

Hillary Rodham Clinton. Your name is being thrown around to become the next Vice President under Obama. It's no secret, don't act so surprised. You are the Golden Child, the one that even the starchiest Republicans can say "well... she's alright". You have been a phenomenal Secretary of State under Obama and gave him a damn good run for the 2008 Democratic nomination. So why wouldn't you want to be the next Vice-President under Obama? Well, let me explain.

Newt Gingrich's Facial Expressions

Oh the many faces of Newt Gingrich. No, I'm not talking about his fluctuating political views, I mean his literal faces. This man has more facial expressions than a silent movie star. Let this be your guide to those faces.

Guide To The BCS

Congratulations! You have recently been awarded the position of Dean at New College University (NCU). As is with every other D-1 college in the nation, your identity will be wrapped up in the performance that your football team puts forth. That's why I have created a simple 7 step process to national notoriety.

My Plea For Huntsman

This country is crippled right now. It is that way because of both political parties and the ferocity in which these parties attack each other. It is not uncommon for a Democrat to insult a Republican for his hard stance on the defense budget, or lack there of. On the other side, it is habitual for a Republican to bash Obamacare. During election years, these lines are miniature Berlin Walls that surround our homes, places of business and schools, each one painted blue or red and adorned with a donkey or elephant.
