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...

Ok, so about a month or two ago I did a rundown of all of the people that I thought would be likely to run for the Republican ticket.  I did something of an odds count, but I don’t really think I can reasonably do that right now since the Republican Party is in a state of flux.  So I wanted to...

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...

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...

Usually, the Supreme Court hears 100 cases a year.  Of those, we might hear in the news about one or two of them.  One of the cases this year was Citizens United vs. Federal Election Commission.  It sounds boring in principle:  A non-profit organization tried to release a documentary against Hillary...

There are a number of problems with having a single party control both the White House and Congress.  Especially when that one party also holds filibuster-proof control of the Senate, and essentially has free reign to do whatever they please. And it seems that the Republicans, who, after November of 2008,...

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...

One of the major contentious issues of 2012 is going to be Climate, for a couple of reasons. First of all, the United States is becoming more and more skeptical about the climate change crisis.  It’s seen as a sort of red herring in politics for many people, who revert back to the arguments that the...
