Dispatch from Manila, Philippines. I have just completed over 48 hours of travel via trains, planes, and something called Grab to arrive at my current destination where it is currently 12:01 in the afternoon, 95 degrees and I have only a fan in this hostel to keep me cool. In other words, I’m home. For…
I’m with her. Those three words are harder for me to write than many people who know me may believe. I am not a fan of Hilary Clinton. Hilary Clinton is a neoliberal; a term which for me represents token support for social liberties without real action, reckless foreign adventurism, and the abandonment of needed…

My beloved Sooners were going to face Alabama in the Sugar Bowl, and another rout and more questioning of Bob Stoops ability to coach in big games seemed a foregone conclusion.1 But even as I resigned…
Thursday night’s Allstate Sugar had plenty of drama cooking before going into the game. It had the 11th ranked Oklahoma Sooners pitted against the third ranked Crimson Tide of Alabama. The Sooners were a 17 point underdog. However, Bob Stoops and multiple Sooners said they weren’t playing the underdog card, but rather the Sooners were…
I never listed gaming among my favorite hobbies until this year, nor allowed my name to be associated with the term gamer. Gaming was, in my mind, something I did when there was nothing else to do. A time filler, between working, sleeping, drinking, watching sports and chasing women. Part of my aversion no doubt…
