Is “moronity” a word? If not, it should be.

I, by nature, am a political beast. I love the intricacies of politics, the song and dance of issues, the drama of debate.

That being said, this political season is a hoot!

We’re all used to politicians slinging mud and acting outside the bounds of moral acceptance. However, I have never seen two candidates go at each other like a couple of 5 year olds without a nap!

On one side, you have the Obama people, who are fervently following the “rock star” Senator who uses the word “change” every third word. Then, on the other side, the Clintonites, who believe that 8 years as a president’s wife is all the experience needed to run a nation.

And in the middle…us! People, we need to not take this so seriously, and enjoy the ride! This is quite possibly the funniest thing on TV since the Soup Nazi episode of Seinfeld!

Both sides are goin’ at each other, McCain’s people are laughing on the side, and we get to witness this! It’s great!

So, please…after a long day of work at home, don’t kick the dog or yell at your spouse. Just flip on the news, and have a great laugh!

Oh yeah…and every time you use the word “moronity’, you owe me a nickel!

I saw Iron Man the first night it opened.

I never read the comic. I knew very little about the story line. But I love movies. And I really love action movies.

As far as comic book-based films go, I had always held Spiderman as the pinnacle…it was the movie that others had to live up to. And so far, nothing touched it (although Batman Begins came awful close).

But Iron Man…well, Iron Man surpassed all expectations that I had going into it. In fact, in my mind, it passed Spiderman as the best comic book-based film ever made. There was action, comedy and a little romance. It was campy. It was witty. And it kicked butt.

And when it was over, most of the audience did the one thing that I wished more audiences had the guts to do…they applauded.

That is what a movie is supposed to do. Invoke an emotion so great that you can’t hold it in.

So I say “amen!” to those folks that wish to applaud after a movie! tell the rest of the audience what you thought…let it out!

Just do me one favor…shut up during the movie!

Whether your writing the next great American novel, or compiling a whitepaper that will put your business on the map, you need to get your facts straight.

Some writers have shelves of reference books that guide them on their word-filled journey, and others use the thousands of reference sites on the internet.  I actually prefer to combine the best of both worlds on one handy site.

Refdesk.com.

Refdesk has everything you’ll ever need in one place. There are almanacs, dictionaries and thesauruses. You’ll also find links to hundreds of sites that will aid your research, such as the CIA World Factbook, Nasa and over 100 newspapers. In fact, you could make Refdesk your homepage, and would never need to go anywhere else for your answers.

I also use the site to develope great ideas for stories.

And the best part: It’s 100% free!

Every author or aspiring writer needs to visit this site. You will not regret it.

I’m Chris Whigham, and I want to write something for you!

Actually, I built this site to dish out some great advice for companies and individuals who want to get the word out…and get it out properly!

I have been in the business world for 21 years, and have seen some great, and some not-so-great, written words for business. More often than not, it was the latter.

My goal is to help folks increase their incomes using concise,professional and attention grabbing words.

Thanks for visiting!
