Ivy has become the operative descriptor for the Supreme Court. Consider the academic biography of each Justice post Elena Kagan’s confirmation. (Each justice will have graduated from either Yale or Harvard). While diversity lingers on a superficial surface, ivy beckons. Not that an over priced ivy league education is inconsequential. But too much of a presumed [...]

The path to reason is the road less traveled. It’s official. Politics today lacks common sense ideals. Anger is now the motivating factor for many activists. And finger pointing has become the modus operandi of choice for many operatives. Days after health care reform became law, a plethora of protestors descended into odious despair. Reputable [...]

Undisciplined movements can be lead astray without resistance. This was the case last weekend during the Tea Party Convention when an ideologue spewed incoherent vitriol. Even more surprising was the audience’s reaction; pure uninhibited delight with uproarious applause. To the outside observer such as myself, the words uttered sowed despair instead of hope. But we [...]

It lurks beneath the surface. Quietly making its way into the heartland of America. It’s taking form—-slowly morphing into a tangible force capable of unhinging the foundations of neo-liberalism. Some question its relevancy while others cautiously dismiss it as a transient fad. But to the disgruntled masses that hope to propagate Palinism—- it’s a matter [...]

The “bickering begums” of Southeast Asia have dominated Bangladesh’s political landscape for two decades. Former Bangladesh Prime Minister Khaleda Zia, leader of the center-right Bangladesh Nationalist Party (BNP), and current Bangladesh Prime Minister Shiekh Hasina, leader of the center-left Awami League (AL), have divided their country into two shades of hue. But Bangladesh’s recent parliamentary [...]

Liberal elitism appears to have morphed into a politically savvy, media obsessed, attention starved, all knowing, all powerful intellectual cadre with oligarchical ambitions. Just gaze upwards to the upper echelons of the three most powerful social institutions in America (Academia, Hollywood and Media), and consider liberals irrefutable influence within those realms. But their aggrandizement was [...]

Blaming Bush has become fashionable for the Obama administration. From healthcare to the economy to the war on terror, its all Bush’s fault. One year into his presidency Obama seems reluctant to accept responsibility for his policy decisions. Nearly every pronouncement put forth by President Obama exonerates him of fault, and blames the previous administration. [...]

Beyond the lively metropolitan that is Chicago, nestled in a rural landscape worthy of a Norman Rockwell painting, sits the village of Thomson, population 559.  The village is host to the Thomson Correctional Center, a semi-vacant, maximum security prison. Thomson’s obscurity ended Tuesday, December 15, 2009, when President Obama announced plans to transfer 100 Gitmo [...]

American Politics has darkened considerably in recent months. A surge of rage fueled by extremism has sullied the consensus mindset. Civility has now been marginalized for its antiquated virtues. What has emerged in its place is the dumbing down of discourse and debate. Irrationality as activism laden with illogical presumptions are now the norm. Crowds [...]
