Palin visits Clearwater (across the bay)
I know I’ve only posted about Sarah Palin of late and not talked about what’s going on in our lives. But I figure talking about Palin is far more interesting than telling everyone we are working long hours and not doing anything exciting. I do have a couple of papers that should be coming out…

Sarah Palin’s policy position on economic reform
So, we were watching the debate and paused it to discuss something Sarah Palin was saying. When I paused our Tivo, this was the frame it stopped on. I liked it so much I decided I needed a screenshot and would use it to illustrate how she was talking out of both sides of her…

SHOCKING, TRAGIC DEATH!
(Regardless of political persuasion, you’ll probably find this funny! Poor Rocky….)

a better post on the current financial shenanigans in D.C.
This post comes from fellow Sociologist, Dave Purcell, at Kent State. I liked it so much I asked him if I could repost it here. So, with his permission: I don’t claim to be an expert on government spending, so please correct me if I am interpreting the budget numbers below in the wrong way.…

update on Signing for Something website
Not that I’m excited to post on here about Mormonism again, but I do think this turn of events is interesting.

The Fed… a.k.a. The Corporate Piggy Bank

Learning Styles
As we prepared for classes this summer, we were asked to prepare information in one of our classes on “learning styles” as well as Myers-Briggs personality tests. I’ve long been skeptical of these ideas, so I did a little digging with Debi. Below is what we found. We wrote a report to give to the…

A Republican sees poverty?
It’s kind of amazing, but for all you Republican supporters out there, you should check this article out. One of your own is telling you that Republicans need to do something about inequality if they want to stay in power.

just, just watch him for a minute…
I really do try to stay away from politics on my blog, but I’m not always successful. And considering the election is getting closer and closer every day (about 2 months out now), I figured it was time for a short political blurb. I caught this interview with Barack Obama on 60 Minutes Sunday and…
