What would it be?  Thousands of users of the popular website Reddit got the chance to do just that last week when Mr. Obama visited the site’s prominent “Ask Me Anything” (AMA) section.  The President answered only around a dozen questions out of the more than 24,000 comments posted as of this writing over the…

Well, that must’ve been awkward.  Today, Benjamin Netanyahu, the leader of Israel, met with President Obama.  Ordinary state visit between allies, right?  Well, yesterday, President Obama gave his anticipated “Arab Spring” speech, and it definitely ruffled some feathers.  For decades, any thought of the U.S. wavering in its commitment to the preservation of Israel in…

The Fix to the Citizens United Ruling?

It’s been a crazy week in politics, particularly in Texas; the “silly season of politics”, as various people have called it, is in full swing.  Unfortunately, as much as I’d love to repost that video, I have no activists in chicken suits, nor do I have anything connecting certain politicians to chickens at all.  As…
