It seems the Food and Drug Administration is mandating levels of melamine in baby formula. Now pardon me if I do not jump for joy at a government agency attempting to do something about the current global scare about melamine tainted milk products. I think my lack of enthusiasm is clearly based on the fact [...]
November 4th saw the election of America’s first black president. Illinois Senator Barack Obama was elected to the office of President in a landslide electoral victory over his challenger Arizona Senator John McCain. Many have lauded the impending Obama presidency copiously in light of America’s less than stellar past concerning racism. But one aspect of [...]
Let’s get something straight; I’m not impressed in the least bit with all the sloganeering, and buttery sweet talk surrounding the 29th Olympic Games in Beijing, China.

I just wanted to clarify something concerning me and my wife.

Just so you know (reader) I am almost 25. I got married to a beautiful Filipina a few weeks after my 24th birthday. Our Wedding was on December 8th here in the Philippines at a restaraunt that we have gone to when we have wanted to enjoy a quiet evening. Now me and my wife [...]
