We took a short weekend to go to the Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. What a gorgeous and largely unspoiled piece of real estate. Highway 106 and 101 provide drives that can take your breath away. The ... http://everydollarmatters.com/blog/2008/08/17/off-the-beaten-path/ My hat is off to you. Your recent interview and questioning of McCain and Obama was a great forum. The news media should make note about how unbias, fair, and balanced the whole event was. Even your audience demonstrated that they were there to hear the issues. This was clearly the ... http://everydollarmatters.com/blog/2008/08/17/way-to-go-rick-warren/ As for the rest of you some pretty reasonable assumptions... -Obama is African American -McCain is caucasian -Some African Americans will vote for Obama just because he is African American -Some caucasians will not vote for Obama just because he is African American Additionally, when we look at the history of presidential politics since the television era each ... http://everydollarmatters.com/blog/2008/08/03/mccain-obama-get-to-the-issues/ I saw an interview with Sean Hannity and John McCain. Aside from Hannity's attempts to get McCain to "Obama Bash" (McCain would not bite) I actually got to hear some of McCain's issues on energy.  It was really nice to hear some of McCain's positions. Maybe if the conservative media ... http://everydollarmatters.com/blog/2008/07/24/pay-attention-conservative-media/ I am on the road this week and thus far have been listening to Sirius radio. I just feel totally disconnected from the local environment. Maybe the world is changing and passing me by, but we live in a world where MySpace wins out over a face to face conversation, a ... http://everydollarmatters.com/blog/2008/07/23/think-global-listen-local/ The media is NOT fairly covering the presidential election. News these days is more like an epsiode of Access Hollywood than it is news. The New York Times rejection of McCains op-ed piece is simply outrageous. Their defense of their decision is lame and absurd. Air time overtly favors Obama and ... http://everydollarmatters.com/blog/2008/07/22/media-needs-to-start-being-fair-and-balanced/ Hallelujah   Jeff Buckley Well I heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do ya?

Today that figure is $275 million. In the face of a slumping economy. In the face of all of the other problems we face have we lost our minds? Vote smart ... http://everydollarmatters.com/blog/2008/06/30/time-for-the-iraqis-to-step-up/ I am quite fed up with all the right and left wing spin demonizing each presidential candidate. The latest rift started by James Dobson (whom usually is sane) is just a load of crap.
