Flypaper: May 2009

http://flypaper-makeitstick.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html

Tuesday, May 5, 2009. Hate crimes - more than just semantics. So, I've heard of holocaust deniers, Armenian genocide deniers, man-landing-on-the-moon deniers, global warming deniers and AIDS deniers, but this week I learned about a new type of denier: those who deny that Matthew Shepard's murder was a hate crime. I guess I have Rep. Virginia Foxx (R-NC) to thank for teaching me something new. One can almost imagine the disgust in her voice. I'd love the opportunity to share with her my disgust. I am espe...

Thursday, July 16, 2009. US Bank to exit the federal student loan business. In light of the revelation that U.S. Bank will exit the business of federally subsidized student loans, I thought it timely to post two very relevant stories I wrote a while back:. Audit: Fifth Third Violated Federal Loan Laws. Bank denies charges, points to changes in legal interpretation. Kristy Conlin The News Record. Published: Sunday, January 11, 2009. Read the full article here. Tuition rises, loan limits idle. The student ...

Tuesday, September 15, 2009. Creation Museum: Whole Lot of Hooey Going On or Beacon of Support in Uncertain Times? The Creation Museum, located in Petersburg, Ky., attracts a lot of attention. Some people think it’s all a lot of hooey while others look to it as a beacon of support in uncertain times. I fall firmly into the first group. But still I couldn’t help but wonder, what goes on there, what exactly is the message, and is there anything for me there? Are you sure you’re not making that up? So I gue...

Flypaper: April 2009

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. Dunking Hannity's head and holding it underwater 6 times a day, every day for a month. Just feel the urge to share this little gem with y'all . Visit msnbc.com for Breaking News. And News about the Economy. I think it speaks for itself. Hannity was actually very gracious and relatively charming in person. I guess, though, that he must believe the drivel that comes out of his mouth at least a little bit. Monday, April 20, 2009. Marc Piscotty, Getty Images). The massacre happened...

Flypaper: February 2009

http://flypaper-makeitstick.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html

Tuesday, February 24, 2009. Las Vegas, part one of my 2008 Spring Break. So, the economy sucks. Work is hard to come by. People are cutting back. No more Starbucks. Or maybe they are eating out less often. Or exchanging name brands for lesser brands. And all that applies to college students as well. But as another quarter comes to an end, or another semester reaches its midpoint, many students are lamenting that they really, really need a break. But can they afford a vacation?

Flypaper: October 2009

Thursday, October 29, 2009. That's what I paid for a gallon of milk at Kroger last week. And that is very wrong. That's probably the same (maybe less) than what we as Americans were paying in the 1980s. Have you been paying attention? Do you have any idea what has been going on with the price of milk over the course of the last year or so? The market has crashed and now family farmers across the country are getting burned. Here's a bit more (very basic) information. Tuesday, October 6, 2009. Jane* lives ...

Flypaper: Much ado about nothing?

http://flypaper-makeitstick.blogspot.com/2009/07/much-ado-about-nothing.html

Wednesday, July 15, 2009. Much ado about nothing? Seems this cartoon is causing a bit of a flap, especially for members and representatives of the National Organization of Women. (Thanks to Daryl Cagle and Rob Tornoe for putting the cartoon, along with commentary, on their Web site. Click here. To check it out). The cartoon, by Bill Bramhall, was printed in the New York Daily News (maybe my favorite newspaper ever). At this point I think her perspective is a bit over the top. Heartfelt, I'm sure, but...

Flypaper: The 8th Anniversary -- Share Something Relevant

http://flypaper-makeitstick.blogspot.com/2009/09/8th-anniversary-share-something.html

Thursday, September 10, 2009. The 8th Anniversary - Share Something Relevant. The day started off like any other. I was at work early, preparing for the day when shortly before 9 am Jay, somewhat uncharacteristically, called. “Have you heard what's happened? 8221; he said. I asked him to hold on as a colleague was waiting to be let in. As the front door clattered and clanked its way open, Greg said, “I just heard on the radio; there’s been a plane crash.”. Greg and I ran to a nearby electronics store&#46...

Flypaper: January 2009

Friday, January 30, 2009. Is Jessica Simpson fat? Why do we care? What is all this talk doing to women's self images? And what's it got to do with Barack Obama? It's all over the news. It's all over the Internet. Haven't you heard? Apparently, Jessica Simpson, purveyor of mediocre pop, has gained a few pounds. There has been much criticism, maybe even more support, and a whole lot of people who suggest she suck it up (but not literally, of course) - the media made her, and now she must pay the piper.
