The following is a rebuttal to an essay that’s been traveling the Internet for the last two years, often known as “Jay Leno… Hits the Nail on the Head.” Each time I read it I find myself disagreeing more and more and chose to respond in kind. Since I have a tenancy to be overly-verbose I’m splitting my response into several posts; but I think anyone interested in politics and the state of the world in which we live will find them interesting. Enjoy.

I love my country and all of the luxuries which it provides me. But I see things a little differently than the author of the essay to which I’m about to respond. He sees we “malcontents” who complain about life in America as spoiled, ungrateful brats who take our freedom for granted. I think those who view the world through rose-colored lenses and pretending that the last six years of our nations history have been it’s most glorious are the one’s that don’t appreciate their freedom. Let me explain myself.

If you don’t know, just move on. Later when you want to back up your HD-DVD’s you’ll thank the millions of nerds nationwide making these magic numbers public.

You’ve given Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson […]

Didn’t I just write something about a celebrity coming under fire for racially charged banter?
Here’s the thing: Don Imus is a shock jock. He’s paid to say what’s on his mind and to say it with candor. He’s given a lot of money to shock, entertain and, every so often, to offend some […]
