It’s a rare event, but don’t you love those mornings when you wake up and actually feel motivated to work out? Let’s get real, the trek to the Recreation Center before the hour of 10 a.m. can be described more as a struggle, but it does occur once in a blue moon.
Captain America, Iron Man were first popular conservatives
“There’s only one God ma’am, and I’m pretty sure he doesn’t dress like that” a popular Hollywood character actually said.
Recent scandals show dangers of big government
My article this week was supposed to be about Captain America, Iron Man, capitalism and conservative values. Unfortunately, the Obama administration decided to become extremely unconstitutional this week and I’ve had to change my plans.
Diversity is a bane, benefit to society
I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been asked the question: “What does diversity mean to you?” And I can’t tell you how many times I’ve heard the response: “An old, old wooden ship, that was used during the Civil War era.”
