  • Come On Guys, Could You Vague This Up a Little For Us? - The NJ Governor's Race

    September 18, 2009

    • It was just a few days ago when I said I regretted never learning how to play piano, and now I find myself online finding sites that will help me learn piano chords, how to improvise without sheet music, and how to properly flip your tuxedo tails before sitting on the bench. The last is trickier than it seems. Piano chords got nothing on tuxedo tails ettiquette.The point is, I've taken steps to ...
  • Update: On the Campaign Trail

    July 30, 2009

    •   As an update to my “other” life (becoming more and more exciting day by day) I have been chosen by the Republican Party of New York to run for City Councilman of District 5; the Upper Eastside of Manhattan. I am meeting many people who give their best to me and I endeavor to do what is necessary to increase the quality of life that is so dearly being missed by the vast majority of my ...
  • A Change Has Come... The day after...

    November 5, 2008

    • The road has been long and tense.  Twenty-four months of hard work and the dedication of a nation, by a nation… and for a nation.  A long journey with a promising end and an even brighter future.  Months of volunteer efforts, thousands of endorsements and an overall unification of a nation has brought us to this day.  November 4th marked a new day, a day when one could wake up in Chicago to ...
  • Hypocrisy or Just Plain Ol' Hubris, You Betcha!

    October 29, 2008

    • For the past few weeks, western media has been running stories on how "Hindus are driving out Christians" in India. New York Times (never the best of sources, but apprently widely read in that country) recently ran a headline screaming "Hindus Threat to Christians - Convert of Flee." Lets not forget this is a country where the presidential candidate can malign the opposition ...
  • Worst. Campaign. Ever.

    October 27, 2008

    • I don’t know which is scarier: The American landscape the next President of the United States is destined to inherit, the people who will make that decision (us), or the fact that these two guys seem to want it so bad. Or do they? Did you ever think of that? Maybe John McCain is deliberately trying to throw the election. “Let me get this straight. Ten trillion in debt? Losing two wars? Tampa ...
  • On Election Night, I Will Cry

    October 25, 2008

    • If Obama wins, I will cry. His candidacy has been an astonishment, as the possibility that a black man could win the presidency has grown to odds-on likelihood. While his victory would not mark the end of racism, it would at least confirm in the most dramatic of ways that bigotry can be overcome. Obama’s emergence is all the more stunning for occurring when so much else— the global ...
  • What does this remind you of?

    October 25, 2008

    • Passionate McCain supporters now claim that Senator Obama will lead this country into communism.  Earlier in the week McCain zealots attacked Obama on his socialism.  Socialism and communism are used as buzz-words by the overly-buzzed.  This sort of witch-hunting represents the worst kind of social fervor.  What it lacks in substance it makes up for in alarmist rhetoric.  What it lacks in ...

    October 22, 2008

    • To dress Sarah Palin and the Palinettes for campaign stops, the Republican party has spent over $150,000.

  • WHICH ONE DO YOU TRUST TO LEAD THE COUNTRY?

    October 17, 2008

    • The candidates' body language became the centerpiece of post-debate discussion once the pundits exhausted analyzing whether each candidate "did what he had to do" and if the exchange had been "a game changer." If you missed any of John McCain's weird reactions, blinking and tics, the body language experts have been interpreting the difference between his pursed lips (masking ...
