Last April, President Barak Obama signed the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act. The act created a National Day of Service and Remembrance. Hmmm. Service and remembrance. Two things that, while valuable on their own merits, aren’t typically seen combined into a National Day of Anything. It’s not as if service and remembrance are the […]

I’ve now voted in five presidential elections. And the candidates I chose to support have lost three out of those five. Yet I’ve never once lost my pride in this country. Sure, I’ve been disappointed in its leaders (from both parties, thank you) at times and scratched my head at certain policies. Vocalized my support […]

Here’s a shockless revelation: The majority of the fellow ad creatives I know are Democrats. Some more (much more) liberal than others, but left-leaning nonetheless.

While enough hot air has been spewed about this event to warm Minneapolis for all of January, I haven’t […]

Call me a jingoistic troglodyte if you must, but I don’t watch the Olympics to foster a feeling of global connectedness deep within my bosom. With apologies to Visa, I was not chanting “Go world!” as I watched Michael Phelps win by one one-hundredth of a second over Milorad Cavic or Jason Lezak track down […]
