Burger King’s New Fries
I love Burger King. It’s my favorite of the fast-fast food chains. I could eat Whoppers everyday – in fact, when I was in college, there was a BK near the campus and I did eat a Whopper a day. And I still love them… never gets old. But, I’ve never been in love with [...]
Politics
First Caucus, First Primary
The political process in the U.S. is somewhat complicated. Caucuses and primaries and delegates and electoral votes; Whew! And that’s the process just to elect our officials – once they’re elected, you need a full correspondent’s course to navigate the branches of government.

Super Bowl XLVI: Double or Nothing
One thing we can count on as Americans is our love affair with Super Bowl Sunday. People who don’t normally watch sports – Football in particular – will stop what they’re doing to attend a Super Bowl party. I gu...
Dr. Pepper Ten
I’ve been injecting Dr. Pepper into my blood stream since I was about seven. Like many of my food vices, it’s the only soda/soft drink/pop I will drink. But, I restrict how much so as not to over-saturate the joy. And now t...
