There’s been a lot of talk and (over)analysis over Yankees captain Derek Jeter, who is hanging up his pinstripes Sunday and playing his last home game at Yankee Stadium on Thursday, September 25. To his credit, Keith Olbermann has a great (and hilarious) Jeter rant here. I won’t call it anti-Jeter, but perhaps anti-commercialized or …
Ezra Klein recently wrote on Vox about the findings of a couple of political scientists concerning the difference between Democrats and Republicans, particularly when it comes to policymaking. Matthew Grossman and David Hopkins published pieces entitled “The Ideological Right vs. The Group Benefits Left: Asymmetric Politics in America” and “Policymaking in Red and Blue: Asymmetric …
Ah, to be a Ted Cruz “hater.” I put the word in quotation marks, lest I be accused of being too harsh on Cruz detractors who seem to get their panties wadded up whenever he opens his mouth. One of the mistakes those of us who are involved or interested very much in politics often …

Recently the FX Network hosted an event, “Every Simpsons Ever,” during which they – surprise – broadcast every episode of ‘The Simpsons,’ ever. It was a glorious idea, not least because it brought back memories of when the show was so much sharper. Some of those older Simpsons episodes have been lingering in the old brainpan for …
I’ve long argued against the idea that Obama is a Manchurian candidate, secretly working to install the Caliphate in the United States. He reminds me more of a certain strain of progressive with whom I am very familiar — the pot smoking, Che t-shirt wearing, craft beer drinking college kid who doesn’t have to work …

Control. It’s about influence. It’s about money. And it’s about power. Power over the decisions that we make. The left is in panic mode over the midterm elections. The electorate has finally come to the realization that President Obama is a failure on both domestic and foreign policy issues. His failures are also being pinned …

In the wake of the Ferguson riots and anti-cop mentality sweeping across the nation, it’s about time that people had a look at the other side of the situation instead of listening to the instigating, and at times incoherent, ramblings of Al “White Interlopers” Sharpton and Jesse ‘Hymietown‘ Jackson, as well as the other perpetually aggrieved race-baiters. Thanks to …
Recently, I had written about Detroit being a city in transition. I was skeptical about an urban farming project and soon I will talk about two business related ventures in Detroit that are looking to help draw technical people and entrepreneurs. I also had the chance to visit The Heidelberg Project: The Heidelberg Project is art, energy, and …

We live in a strange society sometimes. People often find some strange pleasure when celebrities are on the wrong end of some kind of event – particularly one that embarrasses them. I’m not sure if it gives some people a sense of self importance or what but I always find people are quick to point …

Many a person has felt that he was in the wrong job at some point in his life. I wonder if President Obama is one of them right now. Perhaps he thinks he is in precisely the right place. If so, he doesn’t see his role as one of commander-in-chief. With his demeanor and approach …
