War
2007-08-08 09:20:00 Like it or not, war is going to be the biggest factor in the 2008 election. Even in the unlikely scenario that a full-scale pull out from Iraq occurs by November next year, an indelible mark will have been left on the minds of voters; let’s face it- we’re not going to be plunging into ...

What Barack?s Really Saying
2007-08-03 22:13:00 B. Obama has literally been smashed throughout major news media, the blogosphere, and even by Pakistan since his August 1st speech. There’s really no other way to put it. ?Why the @!$%$ would you want to fight another war?? the predominant reporting on his speech has gone. Personally, I’m just awed that the media has managed ...

Politics as Usual?
2007-08-03 01:47:00 First off, I’ll start by saying the YouTube/CNN Democrat debate of last week was awesome. Groundbreaking in many ways, its best facet was certainly the questioners’ insistence on frank answers, and the candidates’ willingness- relatively speaking- to comply with their wishes. There were a ton of great questions posed, but this one struck me as ... More About: Politics , Iraq , Clinton , Dodd , Poli
When in Wisconsin?
2007-05-14 07:23:00 Senator Brownback was in Lake Geneva the day before last, campaigning for voters as the primaries draw closer. Attempting to make a football analogy in a football crazy state, Brownback compared the value of family- a central focus of his campaign thus far- to the importance of a strong offensive line. “This is fundamental blocking ...

2007-04-27 09:42:00 It’s been a busy week for the Dems, what with their nationally publicized debate. Thus, the focus of this week’s issue of “The Mango ” is, appropriately, the Republicans.

?The Mango? - Episode 1
2007-04-21 10:07:00 Having been bored time and time again by the same, redundant (political) news over the last few weeks, I came to the following conclusion: reading the news is boring. Shortly after that stupendous epiphany, I came up with a brilliant idea: I could use my unparalleled photo-wire scanning ability, witty-beyond-belief caption writing skills, and Photoshop-enhanced ...

2007-04-20 10:02:00 So, as you?ve all seen I haven?t posted in almost two weeks. Too much other stuff came up- read: baseball season.

2007-03-31 07:03:00 The attorney firing controversy has been all over the news recently. To be completely honest, I didn?t really know what the whole thing even meant.

Spontaneity
2007-03-30 02:44:00 Stroll through any bookstore, surf the political blogosphere, or strike up a conversation with random pedestrians. All three can provide the same message- there?s something wrong with politics today. Of course there is an element of truth to this; the nature of our political system forces politicians to take into consideration views that don?t coincide ... More About: Pont
A Break from Politics? in Washington D.C. Go Figure.
2007-03-29 05:01:00 Washington D.C. is definitely as cool as advertised. I?m staying at the Omni Shoreham, a pretty famous place apparently that?s hosted numerous former presidents, kings, ministers, and even emperors. Oh, and entire Washington Redskin football teams. This post will be more about the city than about real politics I suppose. The subway system is nice, and ... More About: Politics , Washington , Break , Wash , Shin

Ohio County Scandal
2007-03-20 05:10:00 I was browsing Google News today and came across the Ohio county voting scandal. I?ll summarize (ie copy-paste the guts of it) here: ?CLEVELAND ?

Patriot Act Provision Revoked
2007-03-20 04:36:00 Today?s Senate decision to remove President Bush?s ability to appoint federal prosecutors- a power granted him by the Patriot Act of 2001- could have further implications beyond Alberto Gonzales’ political future, though it is true many speculate this is merely the first step in his firing.

A Pro-Life Look at Abortion? (No Religion Involved)
2007-03-17 22:26:00 I woke up this morning- admittedly quite late- to two words: ?Hey. Abortion ?? by my friend via online chat. We?re both of the male subset of the species so clearly the question didn?t pertain directly to either of us. It took me a moment to realize he was inquiring as to my stance on the ...

GOP Should Stick with its Big Guns
2007-03-13 19:43:00 The Christian Science Monitor recently published an article entitled ?GOP voter discontent allows new entrants for ‘08.? Its basic premise lies in the fact that the G.O.P. faces a dearth of ?qualified conservative? candidates; this thought process has permeated news media for some weeks.

Giuliani vs. Fire Fighters
2007-03-13 06:17:00 Sometimes, simple misinterpretation is all that is required to severely damage a campaign. The International Union of Fire fighters’ accusation (below) against Giuliani may not do too much harm, but it will certainly bring some- perhaps unwarranted- negative press. Giuliani maintains that he pulled the firefighters to follow safety guidelines while firefighters insist that it wasn?t a ... More About: Fighters , Fight , Fighter

Democrats Vying to Pull Out of Iraq
2007-03-09 04:55:00 The Demo crats took control of Congress in 2006 on the premise that they would bring change to a stagnant Middle Eastern policy; indeed, as many put it, ?voter outrage? was what contributed most to the win.
