I know I said on Fridays I would post, but I was literally singing one song too much to calm down and write. (What song, you ask? Well…let’s just say if I linked it here you guys would be too busy singing along for the rest of the day to read the rest of this...
…but I’ll be damned if they didn’t cause it to boil over. I’m talking, of course, of the mass demonstrations against the budget bill that Governor Scott Walker (a Republican), and the majorities in the Wisconsin State Legislature (both also Republican) have been trying to ram through for the past month. You know, the...
Well, as the first salvo in a burst of blog posts over the next few days, here’s the second installment of my new series of posts called “The Good, The Bad, and the Presidential”. This regularly-appearing series takes a look back at the various accomplishments made by President Obama in the first half of...
Sorry for the long absence from writing; I’ve had too much work so far this semester, and as always, I care about the quality of these posts. I do not just randomly throw whatever up here; I take time to research these posts. As a result, yes, I am starting to write this on...

If you thought modern elections were brutal due to the volume of attack ads, hang on to your hats as things are about to get a whole lot worse. Today, in a 5-4 decision, the Supreme Court ruled that many of the campaign...
Okay, I apologize for the facepalm-inducing title, but it grabbed your attention, didn’t it? Happy bonus week to all, especially to those Wall Street bankers receiving performance-related bonuses for 2009. As much as I think the bonuses themselves are a little too large given the recession, this post is not so...
Meeting for the third time in a year, the G-20 has certainly appeared to have some more influence than the G-8, the traditionally-dominant group on international economic matters. Now, following a strong push by President Obama, the G-20′s influence will be formalized, as the New York Times reports. Such a change is welcome; globalization...
Well, here we go again. The U.S. is in yet another trade dispute with China. After President Obama announced the imposition of a tariff on tire imports from China, the PRC retaliated with a similar measure placed on American automotive products and chicken meat, while complaining about the U.S. actions to the World Trade...
