I'm from North Potomac, Maryland, which is about 20 miles west of Washington, D.C. I'm studying accounting at Tulane University, which I enjoy and am hoping will help support me should I pursue a poorly paying journalism side-career. I love most athletic activities, and I hope that my body is able to handle sports for many more decades. Politically, I classify myself as somewhere between conservative and libertarian. Although I follow politics closely and have thought deeply about my political views, peoples' behavior towards others is far more meaningful to me than their political views.

#buyingcollegevotes April 27, 2012 President Obama's call for Congress to maintain low interest rates on Stafford loans is a symptom of a larger problem in the Democratic Party, with candidates effectively buying votes with government benefits while promoting "gimme gimme" politics.

A Home Governed by the Left April 20, 2012 To believe in liberal policies is to believe that standards of governance for a country are fundamentally different than standards of governance for a home. If Americans had their homes handled the way politicians handle the government, they would be in shock.

Journalism’s Dennis the Menace March 2, 2012 Unconstrained by most traditional journalistic limitations, Andrew Breitbart thrived as the "Dennis the Menance" of the right. In order to rival the powerful sway that liberal thought has over the media, more Breitbarts will have to develop. May this menace rest in peace.

The American President’s Bluff to College Presidents February 3, 2012 Economic sense is not predominant in President Obama’s college aid policies. In his speeches and proposals, he does not draw the connection between more students being able to afford college because of federal aid and colleges raising prices because it has new paying customers.

The BP Oil Spill and Global Warming January 23, 2012 Nature is more resilient, more powerful, more adaptive, and more complex than most people believe. That the environment surprised almost everybody in withstanding the BP oil spill suggests that it can also survive carbon dioxide emissions.

Why Do Good Girls Like Bad Guys? December 9, 2011 This phenomenon, this travesty, is the main thing about women that make men want to give up. So why does it happen? It could be for a couple of reasons- here are my theories.
