The absence of partisan voting "integrity"

·

I wanted to believe it was an honest attempt to streamline our voting process, but last-minute moves made by Republican lawmakers in Ohio and Florida during the past week have convinced me otherwise.

The Democrats' circus campaigning

·

I haven’t witnessed many presidential campaigns, but I can’t imagine the amount of absurdity the Democrats have rolled out this election season is normal.

Vote, then whine

·

This election is going to have an impact on you whether you vote or not. I can guarantee that.

Myth of the econoRomney

·

Here’s an awkward secret: it is predicted that regardless of who is president, 12 million jobs will be created by 2016. Either candidate will create jobs. A lot of jobs.

Obama doesn't care about gays

·

As much as you’d like to think of this election as a pivotal one in terms of gay rights, recognize that Obama, like Romney, has no plans to make gay marriage a reality.

It's wicked not to care

·

Recently a close family friend told me that in her 65 years of life, she believes this to be the most important election she has seen. Take that to heart.

Stormy politics

·

Sandy reinforces the fact that, until Nov. 7 rolls around and a president is chosen, the actions of Romney and Obama are viewed through an all-important political prism.

No more canned laughter

·

We’re tricked into wasting 30 minutes on the same repetition of jokes used since the first season of “Married with Children,” and we are still being made fools of today.

Why George McGovern mattered then and why he matters now

·

Few can recall much about McGovern, but the respected statesman, liberal standard bearer and candidate of “amnesty, abortion and acid” — as conservative muckrakers unkindly painted him — is just as relevant now as he was during the protests of the late 1960s.

TMI, TMZ

·

It’s gotten to the point in which a personal life no longer exists if your name is even slightly recognizable.

Vice Presidential Matchup

·

Thursday provides both a difficult challenge and a great opportunity for both campaigns. Ryan will have to overcome his lack of debate experience to build on the momentum Romney’s performance began last week, while Biden will have to fight to pin down specifics on several discrepancies in Romney’s plans without making any embarrassing gaffes.

A is for Adderall

·

A new trend is popping up in Georgia. Low-income children struggling in elementary school? Give them drugs.

Gays vs. Quacks

·

Brown himself said conversion therapy belongs “to the dustbin of quackery,” and I hope any decent mind can agree with this.

Getting the Latino vote

·

If Romney is able to lay out a more specific message on immigration, he might be able to attract more Latino voters tired of and disappointed by Obama’s inaction on issues of immigration.

Humanism and "Bachelorette"

·

 I call myself a humanist. This philosophy occurred to me the other week wile I was watching a new film called “Bachelorette,” written and directed by Leslye Headland.
