I really hope it’s just an act, but I’m afraid it’s not, which makes this guy a huge prick; which would be fine, because I know that there are real jerks out there, except this particular individual has his own television show. That would also be fine, because there are assholes out there who have [...]

I encourage voters to listen to each of the three remaining presidential candidates. Listen to speeches on candidate’s websites, listen to interviews, listen to debates. Find out as much as you possibly can by interpreting words that come out of the candidate’s mouths.
Don’t use the mainstream media.
I’ve been following the campaigns this year pretty actively, [...]

The stage is set for the summer Olympics to begin on August 8th in China. Buildings in the Olympic village are nearing completion, and China is desperately trying to reduce pollution levels in Beijing.

One day after he was sworn in, he admitted to having an extramarital affair, at least one of which was paid for with campaign funds. That’s great, [...]

Countless billions of taxpayer dollars in the hands of contractors who are held to no accountability.
Millions of innocent deaths.
One big lie.

It’s a sad, sad story when a country can say truthfully that it has imprisoned fully one percent of its adult population. The latest estimates of the population of the United States stands at 301,139,947. The number of people between the ages of 14 and dead is roughly 237 million – this means that there [...]
