When preparing your “Thank You” notes for today’s 500 point Dow nosedive, be sure to address to Hope & Change c/o The Marlboro President. Three years into his Presidency and the man who vowed to be different than any politician we ever knew turns out to be exactly who we thought he was–an Ivy League-educated, …

As we inch closer to the August 2 “debt-ceiling deadline”, I’m astounded by some of the rhetoric coming out of Washington. The problem seems relatively simple to me–our Federal government must pass a budget to function. The first step to formulating any budget is to take inventory of your income and debt. Once you’ve done …

Even though I am one of the most politically active people you will ever meet, I rarely watch political speeches.

Faulty logic abounds in the world of politics. Almost every political campaign features candidates attacking each other with countless ad hominem attacks and campaign speeches filled with straw man arguments. Unfortunately, the faulty logic does not end there and often extends into the formation of a politician or a political party’s agenda, as evidenced by …

For me, the NBA season ends when the Mavericks bow out of the playoffs. I’ll devote some time to the Mavs around the draft, but for now, I’d like to get back to some political discussions, specifically something that I have been thinking about a lot the past few weeks. I find it funny when …
