- Dick Cheney, a former vice president, today accused Barack Obama, a sitting president, of "dithering around" and not moving quickly enough when it comes to deciding whether or not to send more troops to Afghanistan. But, why does Dick Cheney care? What is his interest in the current administration's decision, one way or another?
His investment in Halliburton, a company that provides technical ...

- While I've been paying a bit of attention lately to the local stage to try to do my part in making sure we don't have another disastrous four years under Governor Jon Corzine (especially since I unfortunately did my part to put him IN office by voting for him), the national circus has continued. Rather than a long-winded tirade today, let's just do a tally, shall we?$6,700 - The amount of ...

- Barack Obama was President a mere 12 days before the Nobel Peace Prize nominations closed and he still won. I know, I know. "He showed early promise." Talk about handing in an A paper at the beginning of the semester. Less than two weeks in office and he earns himself a Peace Prize. This guy is good. Of course, you got to remember, the potential recipient list for a Peace Prize is not ...

- I am very happy that Barack Obama won the Nobel Prize for Peace because he inspires millions of people around the world and he is also an inspiration to many young people. I may not always agree with the ways he views the world, but I am proud of his accomplishments. Some of you may say that he failed to meet his promises when it comes to healthcare and other matters, but he working hard. United ...

- Just between You and I, I'm begining to admire the multitude of "HATS" the new President chooses to wear ,particularly the one where he gose to to Denmark to negotiate and promote Chicago as the favored site of the 2012 Olympics, 'cause that's some surefire multi-tasking and micro-managing .from our baby 'Boy Wonder"! Then there's 'the hat' he wears as he demonstrates ...

- Just to give you a little insight into how my mind works (brace yourself), I just finished reading an article on MSN titled, "10 Things Gas Stations Won't Tell You". It took me a few minutes to force my brain past the idea that gas stations don't talk, but what was really telling was that by the time I got to the first paragraph of the article I had concocted my own list. I don't know ...

- Oh, good. We read that the president’s proposed health care bill will require every American subject to buy health insurance, and never mind whether he or she wants it or needs it, or approves of it, or whether he or she is on death row, or expects to expire within 24 hours, or whether she or he owns a hospital, or whether she or he is the sort of character who deserves such care. This ...

- I love observing human behavior. Maybe I'm just a sucker for the anthropological nuances demonstrated through our simple actions or, even more so, by seemingly inexplicable, irrational behavioral traits, or, maybe I'm just lazy and like to sit around and stare. Either way, people do interesting things.Take this situation I watched unfold last week:On Friday, my company offered free flu shots. ...

- How does reading about Barack Obama’s father shape world literature? Is the literary world a conglomerate that follows trends or patterns? Then, does it not oppose the very idea of creativity?In a poll conducted by the international writing magazine Wasafiri 25 writers were asked about the books that have shaped world literature, Gabriel Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude topped ...

- While President Obama is doing the Sunday morning and late night talk show circuit here in the States, hawking his healthcare plan, there seems to be a war going on in Afghanistan. No, seriously, you may have heard about it if you were paying close attention. I kid you not. I think you can Google it.Now, I'm going to be right up front about this. George W. Bush screwed up this war by ignoring it ...
