Family-Friendly v. The First Amendment

February 4th, 2008 · No Comments

As a Virginia Beach native who spent hundreds of weekends at Lynnhaven Mall, I feel qualified to say that cops seizing Abercrombie & Fitch’s advertisements is yet another ridiculous example of local puritans subjecting the rest of the community to their crazy standards.

I wrote something for the Huffington Post about political telemarketing. Check it out if you’ve got a second, and feel free to leave a comment over there.
I wrote a paper about telemarketing this semester, so I guess I covered something that was still marinating in my mind.

November 5th, 2007 · No Comments

Lately, I’ve been doing a lot research for term papers. In the off-chance that anybody perusing this blog has any interest in them, or could offer some recommended reading, I thought it might be helpful to post the topics.

Eavesdrop it Like it’s Hot

July 17th, 2007 · No Comments

I wrote a piece for Campus Progress about why not having an iPhone might be a blessing in disguise. This way, the NSA won’t be wiretapping your phone! Check it out, and feel free to leave comments over there.
