I have a minor in economics, but that's only because I needed one extra class in college. I've been reading about the financial "crisis" since it became headline news, and frankly, I still don't understand why it was necessary for congress to pass a $700 billion ... http://www.theblarg.com/2008/10/04/the-financial-mess/ Luke and I were having fun today. I think I was having more fun, but he wasn't crying, so it must not have been too bad. :) Click here for HD http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/30/luke-rolling-over/ The issues of government subsidies is a very large one, but I'd primarily like to focus on the effect the government can have on our higher institutions of learning. In the first Presidential debate Obama stated that he wanted to make higher education more affordable. That begs a couple questions. 1) ... http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/28/the-issues-government-subsidies-for-college/ I thought I'd take a break from the political posts and put up something a little more fun. We had some old Blockbuster gift cards lying around, so I went the other week and looked for a good game to buy. The only thing that caught my eye was Metal Gear ... http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/28/the-metal-gear-solid-series/ First Presidential debate was tonight.

My family has ... http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/26/debate-1/ The last political post about abortion got sidetracked to government assistance to the poor, so instead of continuing the discussion there, I've decided to start a new thread here. Consider a new post in a series about "the issues." From Mike in the previous discussion: For me the biggest issue is ... http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/23/the-issues-government-assistance/ It's been almost a month since I last posted baby pictures, so he's overdue!

He's getting bigger and smarter all the time. http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/22/luke-is-back/ We've had discussions about abortion in the past. I've heard fellow Christians say that the government shouldn't stop people from aborting their babies. I challenge any of you who are supporting Barack Obama to read the following article, and then explain to me how your doing so can possibly coexist ... http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/20/please-explain/ I would like to thank George W. Bush for the recent downturn in gas prices, a trend that will most certainly continue as the price of a barrel of oil fell to $92! You might think it odd to attribute this to George W. Bush, but it makes perfect sense. It ... http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/17/thank-you-george-w-bush/ I don't have anything too profound to say. Work is back in full swing, and we're all still settling into our new routine. In the morning we wake up at 5:50 a.m., and lucky for us the boy is sleeping through the night (and then some). We manage to eat breakfast ... http://www.theblarg.com/2008/09/10/a-new-routine/
