This Old Wedding Tradition Might Rub You The Wrong Way
One glance at the Facebook wall of a recently engaged woman and it's easy to see that the overwhelming response is "congratulations." But did you know that the well wishers are actually defying tradition?If, like us, you weren't aware of this particular piece of traditional wedding etiquette, here's the gist of it: Apparently, telling a bride "congratulations" insinuates that it was not a given that she would succeed at getting married or that she didn't have her choice of suitors. Instead,...

Suicidal Bombers Over Gaza and a World Coming Apart
For years, the term "suicide bombers" has been synonymous with terrorist attacks, especially in Israel. The idea of a martyr willing to give his life for a cause while taking out an "enemy" became a feature of modern conflict especially with resistance movements confronting modern armies.Oddly enough, the phrase, seems to have blown back today into Israel itself, as its military engages in a much deadlier "suicide mission," acting like Ahab in Melville's Moby Dick determined to slay the...

Déjà Vu All Over Again: From Akin to Ellmers to Aiken
In 2012, then Senate candidate Todd Akin's statement that "legitimate rape" rarely causes pregnancy unleashed a storm of media controversy, and lost him the support of many in his party.Flash forward to last week. North Carolina Congresswoman Renee Ellmers, who is running against Clay Aiken this November, urged the Republican Party, especially men in the party, to bring policy discussion "down to a woman's level.""Men do tend to talk about things on a much higher level," Ellmers said....
The Most Important Lesson I Learned in My First Year of Marriage
As my wife and I approach our first anniversary, I've taken some time to think about all the lessons I've learned over the past year (let's be honest -- all the lessons my wife has taught me). It's not been difficult, since I've recorded many of them on my blog.There's one lesson I've yet to write about, though. And I happen to believe it's the most important lesson I learned in my first year of marriage.No, it doesn't have to do with avoiding conflict, like much of what I learned. Instead,...
Six Year Blues
Almost every president in recent history has experienced what I like to call "The six-year blues." For Reagan it was Iran-Contra, for Clinton it was Monica Lewinsky, and for George W. Bush, it was Iraq and Afghanistan.President's Truman and Johnson decided they didn't want to run for a second elected term because they were so unpopular. Nixon needs no explanation.And now, President Obama is suffering from his own version of "the blues." With poll numbers sitting at his lows and a Congress...

Warning All Bloggers and Video Makers!!!
I have been writing blogs for about seven years now.I used to use a lot of pictures to illustrate the points I wanted to make.These were mostly images I found on the web.If I was talking about a 'Revolution' in video, I might use a painting of the French Revolution.There was so much stuff on the web. All I had to do was 'Google' image search and there were the choices.It made the pieces nicer to look at, I thought.Then, about a year ago, maybe a bit more, I got a big, fat letter from some lawyer. I was being sued for copyright infringement for using a picture without permission.Well, needless to say, I took the offending picture down.It didn't make a difference. I was being sued for $150,000. For my blog. For the picture on my blog.(You will note that I don't have a picture up there today...

Everything Is Not Awesome in LEGOland
LEGO holds a special place in the hearts and minds of children and families around the world. But everything is not awesome in LEGOland. LEGO is partnering with Shell on a global advertising campaign that includes co-branded toys, billboards, celebrity endorsements, videos, and a full-size LEGO Formula One car.Using toys to advertise any kind of product to kids is wrong. But it's particularly harmful to sell children on Shell, a company with a shameful environmental record that plans to drill for oil in the Alaskan Arctic, one of the most vulnerable places on earth. That's why Greenpeace and the Campaign for a Commercial Free Childhood are calling on LEGO to stop working with Shell.By branding its toys with the Shell logo, LEGO is helping Shell build social capital with adults while cynically...
