More Thoughts on Obama

Blogging for Meatballs is broken down into three sections – Sports, Politics, and Life. However, if things continue as so I may have to add a “Barack Obama” section too. In all seriousness, though, I did want to get out a few more thoughts on the man. I have posted several blogs about him…none [...] Continue Reading…

An Interview with Barack Obama

(The following interview is completely made up)

Me: Ladies and gentlemen, we are here with Democratic Presidential hopeful, Barack Obama. Barack, welcome to the show.

BO: Thank you, Aaron, good to be here, and I just want to say that if you’re struggling to make ends meet on a modest, middle class salary like Michelle and [...] Continue Reading…

LLLLet’s Get Ready to Rumble!

I’ve never been a big boxing fan. The last fight I watched was Holyfield – Lewis like 6 years ago, and I admit, at the time I was more excited about the freeness of the whole night than anything. Granted, the food, drink, and pay-per-view wasn’t free for the host; it just was for [...] Continue Reading…

The Thrill of Victory

On October 2, 2007, I wrote about my 10 worst losses (as a fan) of all time. You can see it here. It was requested by several people at the time that I do a follow up blog chronicling my top 10 victories. I didn’t take them up on it right away, though, because [...] Continue Reading…

The Audacity of Barack Obama

Barack Obama is an excellent speaker; there is no doubt. He sounds good; he is inspiring; he talks a lot about positive concepts like hope and change. Barack Obama is also a liberal. He believes in more government, in abortion on demand, in socialized healthcare, in gay rights, in affirmative action, and so on. [...] Continue Reading…

Your 2008 NBA Mid-Season Review

Ok, so it’s not actually mid season (it’s more like 5/8 of the way through), but we are just coming out of All-Star Weekend, and that is always a good time to reflect on how everyone is doing thus far. (Note: teams are listed by conference in reverse order of the current standings).

Western Conference:

Train up a Child

So, I’m driving the other day and my wife, 2 year old daughter, and 4 month old son are in the car with me. I don’t remember where we were going at the time, but I had just gotten home from work, and we were doing the whole “how was your day” thing. Now, [...] Continue Reading…

Here’s an Oxymoron for Ya

When I was in college, I read the book “Stranger at the Gate: To Be Gay and Christian in America.” I read it because it intrigued me. As I was picking it up for the first time I was thinking, “ok, how is the author (Mel White) going to explain this one?” It was [...] Continue Reading…

Economics: Micro-impact vs. Macro-principles

It’s been said that a recession is when your neighbor gets laid off, but a depression is when you do. True, huh. It’s no secret that the majority of Americans have a sour, pessimistic view of where our current economy as a whole is headed. Did you know, though, that the same people, if [...] Continue Reading…

Prepare to Be Disappointed

Prepare for disappointment? Sheesh…that’s kind of a downer topic, right? Yeah it is, but unfortunately it’s reality. Now the reality I’m referring to is not life in general, though, so relax. I’m only talking about the Super Bowl. What? Yes, the Super Bowl (and I realize this is early, but it’s already on my [...] Continue Reading…
