What Is The Motivation Behind WikiLeaks?
Have you had seen the cartoon where the hero repeatedly avoids disaster by a whisker? Meet Julian Assange. He looks more like the evil nemesis to Austin Powers than a man who strikes fear into the hearts of world leaders. Tall, skinny and pasty white, he makes you want to rush him to the hospital for an infusion of Vitamin D. Whatever he is, Australian Julian Assange has captured the...

Afghanistan, Oil, And The Wars In The Middle East
The right war is what Barack Obama called Afghanistan in his 2008 campaign. He declared Iraq the wrong war, and that we should never have been there in the first place. In reality, Obama knew that America had to take care of business in Iraq before we could turn our attention elsewhere. First, it’s important to understand how America finds itself in this current situation.

Decision Points And The Legacy Of George Bush
George W. Bush is bored these days.
The 43rd President of the United States is addicted to Scrabble for the iPad. He takes the dog Barney out on the morning walk. And he tried getting his hands dirty for Haiti earthquake relief. Emphasis on tried.
Dubya’s low-profile post-presidency strategery is working. His approval ratings have quietly jumped 11 percentage points — from 34% to 45%...

Literary Genius, Ab Blaster: Mike the Situation
I must confess: I cheated.
I vowed to spend last Saturday as The Situation. To live 24 hours vicariously GTL’ing it up as the six-packed, shameless star of the Jersey Shore. Now, I had my limitations. New York City in early November, for starters. There were the issues of Gym and Tan. My gym is uptown at school and I don’t do tanning beds, so I just ran to Brooklyn Bridge and back. The Jersey...

Veterans Day Reflections
Author’s Note: Four generations of men in my family, including me, have served in this country’s military during wartime. I’ve earned the right to my opinion. **********
I want to make amends for what I did. Lending my energy to the military and the forces behind it qualifies as the least conscionable albeit, in my defense, most uninformed decision of my life. My only...

Did NBC Manufacture The Olbermann Controversy?
Author’s Note: Innovations from General Electric have probably killed more people than any other corporation in the history of mankind. As such, I hold no delusion that anything put forth from their media holding, NBC, is for the best interest of me or the average American. GE bought those properties intending to forward their agenda, so it’s unfathomable that a savior for the left...

Vintage Anti-Suffrage Posters & Propaganda
With the passage of the 19th Amendment to the United States Constitution in 1920, women were formally given the right to vote: “The right of citizens of the United States to vote are not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.” This was the culmination of over a century of hotly contested advocacy and debate in the American public on women’s suffrage. Below...

You're Forgiven, Lebron
I haven’t been very nice to you, LeBron James.
I savored your post-Decision fall from grace as a morality play on hardwood. You with Chosen 1 inked to your back had to flee your own state. I wrote some harsh words about you this July for slamming your legacy harder than one of your vintage Tomahawk jams.
Maybe you read it, LeBron. You did warn you took names all summer. So, in the unlikely...

Meet The Assassin Bug
The assassin bug (Stenolemus bituberus) is a spider-hunter that uses a long rostrum to inject a lethal saliva that liquefies the insides of the prey, which are then sucked out. Sometimes, it simply sneaks up to spiders on their own webs before striking, plunging its dagger-like mouthparts into its prey.
But it also has a subtler technique. Sitting on a web of a spider, it plucks the threads...

A Preview Of The 2010 Elections
Think of the American economy as a car, President Obama starts. Republicans were behind the wheel for eight years before they drove it into a ditch. So Democrats got the keys. Now they’re in the ditch. And it’s hot. It’s muddy. There are bugs everywhere. But they got their boots on. And they’re pushing, they’re clawing, they’re doing everything they can to get the car out of the ditch. They look...

America's Worst Job: Being The First Lady
The wife of the former Prime Minister of Japan swears her soul was once beamed up by a triangular- shaped UFO and shipped to Venus. Miyuku Hatoyama reported Venus to be “a very beautiful place” and “really green”. Perhaps not surprisingly, her husband lasted eight months as Japan’s Prime Minister.
Panama’s former First Lady Ana Mae Endara told country protesters they could stick their vote “you...
