Victim blaming and the American dream

·

Instead of chastising the victim, we need to focus on who committed the real wrong.  Rewriting part of the American identity and ripping off this psychological blanket may be hard, but it is necessary to affect the right kind of change.

Mitt's Medicare misfortunes

·

Rather than focusing on criticizing Obama’s plan, the GOP campaign needs to elaborate on the positives of its approach. They need to find a way to bring older voters back into the Republican fold if they want a chance of winning. And the GOP knows this is a bigger issue than Romney’s win in November.

Leslie Knope faces reality

·

The government can be good in small doses (and is, at times, essential). But serving the people giant portions of it denies them the option of using their God-given talent and drive to achieve something.


It's science!

Just say yes to research

·

Shady reputations, socially-cultivated stigmas and disputable scheduling regulations should not hinder scientists from researching any substance that could save, extend and improve human life.

These aren’t characters on a screen. They’re real people who suffer real consequences.

Hollywood's racist hall pass

·

It seems like we give our white, male, upper-class celebrities a pass when it comes to problems with mental illness, aggression, violence, addiction and abuse.

Zeppelin politics

·

I simply don’t see the point of sitting through all these speeches when we all know politicians are telling us only what they’ve been told is okay to tell.

The RNC Infomercial

·

The Grand Old Party must deal not only with the usual myriad of expenses, protesters and security details, but, like the planners of the Democratic convention, must grapple with a declining audience.

Why you should care about Ann Romney

·

With the Republican National Convention this week, all eyes will turn toward presidential nominee Mitt Romney. Perhaps they should instead be on the woman by his side, his wife, Ann Romney.

Lessons from Honey Boo Boo

·

In exchange for cash, the Thompson family willingly validates the destructive lifestyle of the typical American family.


Foot in mouth

Stupid knows no bounds

·

Unfortunately for me, I identify with Akin’s party. Republicans and conservatives must deal with the repercussions of his idiocy.

Leftists: Unite, don't squabble

Being a leftist myself, I often come into contact and conversation with people who are ever-so-concerned with “measuring their Che” rather than actually achieving any political goal, no matter how modest or grand.

Olympic Election

·

Whoever put together the Olympic and electoral calendars must have been pretty savvy to put them in the same year.



Batman

The good of superheroes

·

Superheroes are just another story to add to the massive collection of legends that human beings have created since we first formed an intelligent thought.
