Earlier this week, President Barack Obama addressed the nation to reaffirm Americans that any strike against Assad would consist of a targeted air strike, but first his administration would give Assad the opportunity to relinquish his chemical weapons. There will be "no boots on the ground [in Syria],"...

Waiting in a line behind Arabs at the Tel Aviv (Ben Gurion) Airport

  I've been to Israel almost as many times as the number of fingers I was born with (11), so it's safe to say I understand the tantalizingly slow security process at the airport. In Israel, we arrived three and a half hours early to Ben Gurion Airport for our flight back to Boston. There were...

Making our way to The Old City my wife search for a cab. We watch as a cab driver staring facedown at his smartphone drives straight into the side of a parked car with three guys inside at a speed of what looked like 10 miles-per-hour. The three Israeli guys inside the hit car throw up their...

Read Before You Judge The Rolling Stone Tsarnaev Magazine

I hope anyone reading right now does not judge the content of this article based on the first paragraph, just as you may have inappropriately judged Rolling Stone by its cover. Mayor Menino's letter to Rolling Stone missed the point entirely. Dzhokhar Tsarnaev pictured on the cover of the magazine does...

Ban The Media From Courtrooms

Update, July 14, 2013: Zimmerman was found not guilty. What good does the media do for justice when its goal is to incite emotion? I have tried to keep my mind away from the George Zimmerman-Trayvon Martin case. My hapless hope was that the media would follow suit, and in doing so justice would...

Who Cares if the NSA Spies On Us?

It was recently revealed by Eric Snowden that the National Security Agency (NSA) has has spied on Americans and foreigners. He acts as if this is groundbreaking, classified intel to Americans, but if you had a sniff of common sense or didn't have your head up your ass, this was never news to you. What...

Paula Deen: Guilty of Being Southern

 03 Jul 2013   Posted by Rel

Like a fine cheese, a racist southern woman becomes more pungent over time, but what's with all the hoopla surrounding Paula Deen? Am I the only one who is NOT surprised that an old, white woman from Georgia is racist? Personally I think Paula Deen should have been fired from The Food Network long...

A Win For Gays, But We Have Four Supreme Idiots


0 Comment
 28 Jun 2013   Posted by Rel

I'm ashamed of the four justices of the Supreme Court who voted against giving the LGBT community equal rights to marriage. I still see a huge problem in America if nearly 50% of the Supreme Court is divided on Gay marriage rights. This is not a controversial issue. This is not a moral issue. This...

Questionable Charities and The One Fund I Donate To


3 Comments
 21 Jun 2013   Posted by Rel

I would rather donate a quarter to a hobo than a dime to a charity. At least the hobo isn't deceiving me; it's clear that he'll use that money for a lottery ticket, a pack of cigarettes, a sandwich, or some alcohol. Regardless of what the hobo chooses to spend his money on, I have an understanding...

Gay people deserve equality, but what’s with the parades?


5 Comments
 13 Jun 2013   Posted by Rel

  I am in full support of Gays in their fight for equality and insulted by the conservatives' attitude in regards to Gay marriage - as if proliferating equality is a nuisance to them. But I never understood the logic of a Gay parade. I actually find it overly arrogant and anal - no pun....
