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.

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.
