Our Strength

koppie — Tue, 04/16/2013 - 21:03

I was just having a conversation with Yelena last week about how other nations perceive Americans as weak.  I argued that what others perceive as our weakness, is actually our strength.

Petition to Let Texas Secede: Lowdown on the Hoedown

koppie — Thu, 12/13/2012 - 01:14

There's been a fair bit of buzz on a petition to let Texas secede from the Union.  The logic is (a) they want to, and (b) the rest of us would be better off without them.  It's hilarious nonsense, of course, but let's look at why.

Republicans: It's Gonna Be Okay

koppie — Thu, 11/08/2012 - 01:20

Republicans: You now have two choices for the next four years.  You can find common ground with your fellow Americans and work toward a future we can all enjoy, or you can be whiny little bitches.

Jordan's Tax-and-Spend Voter Guide

koppie — Tue, 11/06/2012 - 13:55

I long ago made peace with the fact that I'm a "tax and spend liberal."  But, see, it's okay when I like what the government is spending money on.  Here's a brief recommendation on how to vote.

Hellenistic Jews, Abortion, and Passover

koppie — Thu, 04/26/2012 - 08:52

This started as a Facebook argument between myself and some of my right-wing Christian and Catholic friends.  (For the record, I admire my friends and respect their faiths, even though they are different from my own.)  But the question arose: what is the Jewish position on abortion?  The truth is it's something I never researched heavily, so I did a little quick research and summarized it for my friends.  Nothing worth publishing, to be sure, but in the process I got to know my own faith even better, and I thanked my friends for prodding me into it.  (What does this have to do with the Jewish holiday of Passover?  Keep reading.)

Bikers vs. Cars

koppie — Tue, 03/13/2012 - 20:48

There's an old rivalry in San Francisco between bikers and car drivers, and every once in a while someone dies.  Everyone in SF is either a biker or a driver, and so everyone has already taken sides.  Here's my position:

In Defense of New Marriage

koppie — Thu, 02/16/2012 - 02:33

I've got a couple friends who have recently started telling people they're married.  They're gay, but that's not the problem.  The problem is there was no ceremony and no ring.  (I'm not going to name names, because this rant really isn't about that, it's about a larger point.)

Obviously, we're entering a new era for marriage.  There used to be certain assumptions about marriage:

Dude Has A Point

So, apparently people are in a tizzy over Rick Santorum's comments about women in the workforce.  I think he has a point.  Hear me out.

SOPA Blackout: Its Consequences

koppie — Wed, 01/18/2012 - 20:58

So, a lot of websites, including Wikipedia, are blacking themselves out today to protest SOPA.  Apparently someone has decided to take the protest one step further: instead of just imagining life without Wikipedia (because it's blacked out because of SOPA), some people are acting it out.  I'm seeing a bunch of Twitter hashtags for #factswithoutwikipedia.  Here's the best of the lot:
