The recent government shutdown once again raised the idea of a Republican Civil War between moderates and conservatives within the party. This idea is carried forward in a profile of New Jersey Governor Chris Christie written by MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough for Time Magazine. He argues that Christie’s cake-walk re-election this week came about because he […]
By the time most of you read this the outcome of tomorrow’s election will be known. Regardless of who wins America’s health care system is still a wreck and closer than ever to the river catching fire point of no return where revolutionary change is inevitable – and even welcomed by some including me. Recently […]
There hadn’t been anything like it since 9-11. Hundreds of Americans die in a spasm of violence by terrorists wielding grenades, C4 explosives and RPG launchers – explosives that aren’t legally available in the United States and are impossible to acquire even under the counter no matter what the price. Over the course of the […]
I don’t like Mitt Romney. I think he’s almost a walking cliche of the smooth talking, Country Club Republican. I think he’s about as authentic as a Coach bag bought on a New York City street corner kiosk, and as sincere as the voice one hears when calling a bank saying “Your call is important […]
Two and a half years ago, a Democratic-controlled Congress and Executive formulated a stimulus plan that was supposed to help America through a recession. It was a grand $787 Billion scheme meant to put Americans to work, keep unemployment below 8%, rebuild our infrastructure, and insure our nation’s solvency. Resorting to a Keynesian stimulus was […]
Slate on the current dating scene makes me glad I’m not in it: As a result, Match began “weighting” variables differently, according to how users behaved. For example, if conservative users were actually looking at profiles of liberals, the algorithm would learn from that and recommend more liberal users to them. Indeed, says Thombre, “the […]
Last night I was just drifting off to sleep when the dogs outside started barking like crazy. So I did what every good Southerner does: I pulled on some clothes, grabbed a rifle and went outside to see what all the ruckus was about. A bright beam of light enveloped me as I stepped outside, […]
The morning after an election always reminds me of the day after a night of Spring thunderstorms. People wake up and begin to assess the damage, expecting to find the land scoured and the earth torn apart – but instead finding the landscape tranquil. Yes it has changed; an old treasured oak tree has fallen […]
As an observer of politics for most of my 40+ years, I’ve seen some weird things. Watching John Dean testify during the Watergate hearings was pretty strange, as was the testimony of a pilot who flew guns to the Contras during the Iran-Contra affair 13 years later. And don’t get me started about Clinton’s interview […]
I have been interested in politics for as long as I can remember. When I was in primary school I watched the Watergate Hearings and tried to understand what was going on. I didn’t understand exactly what was happening, but I knew that it was important. Fast forward over thirty-five years. This time I know […]
Having grown up on Warner Brothers cartoons, it’s easy to see the predicament the Democrats are in as being akin to Wiley E. Coyote when he’s just run off a cliff and hangs in the air a second before plummeting to the ground. All the Democrats need is to flash a little “Help!” sign before […]
I am a dedicated Nipponophile having lived in Japan for a good chunk of the 1990s and received my degree in political science with a concentration on East Asian politics. One of the many exciting bits of Japanese history is the Bushido warrior code of the Samurai and the part ritual suicide or seppuku played […]
Friday, August 14, 2009 PHILADELPHIA - Charles Manson follower Lynette “Squeaky” Fromme, convicted of trying to assassinate former President Gerald Ford, out of prison after spending more than 30 years behind bars has been picked up by the Philadelphia Eagles to be their defensive coordinator. “She signed with the Eagles,” agent Joel Segal told The […]
I’m thinking about the loss of Air France flight 447 from Rio de Janeiro to Paris, and what troubles me is the apparent suddenness of the disaster. Facts: The plane was entering a zone of weather activity and the pilot reported that the plane was experiencing turbulence as it flew into a stormy area. Stratfor […]
