I’ve noticed an extremely annoying trend in politics recently – I’m looking at you tea-partiers – where populist morons have no idea what they are talking about.  You’ll pardon the harsh language, but I think it’s about time that both sides stop pointing fingers in the...

I was looking back through my previous articles to see what I haven’t written about yet, and I realized I haven’t written an article dedicated to Afghanistan!  Shock!  Well now’s as good a time as any to start on it, what with the major NATO offensive going on in the Afghan Helmand...

Sarah Palin is a moron. So how comes the Sarah Palin juggernaut?  Is she still a force in the 2012 election? I haven’t touched on the Republican candidates for a while now, because I think most of them realize that it is unwise to overexpose themselves this early.  Most of the major potential...

It’s hard not to look into the past and compare the current administration with other major Democratic administrations, and there seem to be four camps that people are falling into with their Obama comparisons:  there are the Carter comparisons, the Clinton comparisons, the Johnson Comparisons and...

Haiti is one of those countries we neither hear of nor care about unless something is going dramatically wrong there (that isn’t a personal slam at Haiti, it’s how Americans view most of the world most of the time), and something has gone dramatically wrong there. I don’t need to do a recap...

The immediate, massive grassroots populist uprisings against any and all Obama policies has been kind of startling to the outside observer, particularly in the level of ferocity with which he’s been attacked.  A lot of the attacks come from legitimate places – after all, there is plenty of...

In a couple of my past articles, I’ve talked about the specter of terrorism floating above Obama’s head at all times, and how any attack could potentially derail his re-election campaign.  Ultimately, the possibility of another attack on the U.S. is downright likely, and falls to chance.  In a...

Gay rights are a tough issue to gauge in terms of their impact on a Presidential election, partly because the issue doesn’t necessarily come down to the President in most cases.  Gay rights were a stated part of Obama’s political agenda during the 2008 campaign, and his administration has said...

Health care is the debate of the hour, so let’s look into how it’ll effect the 2012 election: For one thing, there isn’t anything close to a consensus as to how to handle the health care system.  As it stands right now, the amount Americans spend on health care is 16% of our GDP. ...
