Film Review: Machete

Published Sep 16, 2010

Are you looking for a gritty action movie with a low-budget feel, but big-name actors? Then "Machete" is for you. How about a political movie where every nook and cranny is filled with serious, literal allegories to the present immigration situation? If that's the case, probably not.

While most don't take it that way, some people on the far right believe it is a call to action, which is obviously nonsense when you view the film.

Dear City of Waco,

Published Sep 16, 2010

Though allowing certain viewpoints to flourish might make us cringe, it is still important that Americans remember to appreciate the laws and freedoms provided for in the Constitution.

Obama’s claim to Christianity is personal matter between him and God

Published Sep 16, 2010

When coaches or parents get caught preaching something they don't practice, their empty excuse is often "do as I say, not as it do."

Recently, in one of the many examples of the media blowing a hardly-newsworthy story out of proportion, many outlets have questioned the legitimacy of President Barack Obama's claim to be a Christian. Besides being annoyed to be hearing yet another story that doesn't warrant appearance in the "news," I've found the whole thing to be ridiculous.
