It has never been easy to be a moderate in America; our two-party system is set up against people who are in the middle. But the difficulty of being a moderate has greatly increased in the past 20 years, and this trend worries me. READ MORE

COLUMN: Voter-ID laws necessary to ensure integrity

March 23, 2009 | 2 comments

COLUMN: We should be excited about success in Iraq

February 27, 2009 | 6 comments

On Jan. 30, 2009, 51 percent of Iraqis voted peacefully for their equivalent of state legislators. Why aren’t we jumping up and down excitedly about this? Why isn’t the news ecstatic that we actually accomplished something in Iraq? READ MORE

COLUMN: Daily headline ‘classless’ and ‘unprofessional’

February 10, 2009 | 10 comments

I hope The Daily doesn’t make a habit of mocking private citizens with its headlines. The Daily’s classless and unprofessional decision to run, “Just Wanted to Make it Snow” as a headline on Jan. 29 should not be repeated. READ MORE

COLUMN: New Facebook more organized, attractive and efficient

I detest Myspace. It’s cluttered, glitchy, slow, ugly and frustrating to use. I run a business that requires me to keep a Myspace, but if I didn’t absolutely have to have one, I’d scrap it with no looking back. READ MORE

COLUMN: Print-off football tickets oust nostalgia

September 11, 2008 | 1 comment

I don’t like the new “print your own ticket” system for football games. I’m against the slippery slope that it represents. I can foresee a future where the traditional ticket is extinct and we all must print our own tickets. READ MORE
