  • My Hopes For Obama’s First Year: F The Economy… Literally

    Mr Obama, please stop “bailing out” and rewarding the CEOs that created this economy. Please note that the “American middle class,” the one that so honestly adopted your slogans of “hope” and “change,” the one that handed you this election, do not live and breath by the ticker of the Dow. ...

TTLY, Conrad...
  • My Hope For Obama’s First Year: “Homophobia Is Gay”

    Mr. Obama, I hope that you change your mind on gay marriage. I hope that you, like millions of your fellow Americans, begin to view this issue as a civil rights issue. (Not to be confused with The Civil Rights Movement, of course.) I hope that in your first year...
