No matter what you think (O), please (B) don’t (A) forget (M) to (A) vote!!
All kidding aside, this really is an important move and probably one of the crucial votes of our lifetimes. Not to be overly dramatic, but this election could literally dictate the continual leadership or the fall of the US [...]

Enough About Politics
[Sorry, this post isn't about "food politics"; it's more about "food" and "politics."]
.
During dinner with a couple friend last night, my girl friend said, “I’m really surprised we didn’t talk about politics tonight. I always thought you were really knowledgeable about it.” (or something like that…)
A few reactions instantaneously popped into my head:
Oh, that’s so [...]

Politics & The History of Marketing
PART I
My last post on the vice presidential debate highlighted the great marketing campaign of the GOP. I say marketing because many of you pointed out via emails and ims that Sarah Palin, and to some extend John McCain, focuses on broad sweeping statements about some utopian United States without much in the way of [...]

Well, Gosh Darn It, Dontcha Know.
Oh, gosh. How to start.
1. I think I’m starting to talk like her [Sarah Palin], which is freaking me out and forever destroying my warm fuzzy feelings of Bobby’s World with Howie Mandell.
2. The Vice Presidential Debate at Washington Univesity in St. Louis gave the voters are great sense of both democratic and republic platforms. [...]

Cleaning Out My Intestines: Day 3
It’s actually going pretty well. Minus the constant hunger and urge to run to the bathroom every 30 minutes, things are going fine. Yup, pretty dandy. I’m just going to keep saying it until I believe it.
What I want RIGHT now:

I’m really excited about the Vice Presidential Debate tonight. For some [...]

Obama. McCain. Healthcare. 2008.
There are 13 drafts sitting in my blog waiting to be written, edited or published, but there are more pressing matters here. Again, instead of discussing the candidates, their merits and campaign promises overall, I’m going to delve into another tangential topic/issue.
[Side note: I think that we sould choose a President based on his [...]

Abstinence. Sex. Education. Life. Choice. Sarah.
Much talk has been going on about Sarah Palin, the Republican VP nominee, the sex scandal, the baby and McCain throwing a dart while blind folded when choosing his running mate.
Well… I’m not really going to go into it. There’s an inundation of analysis from both experts and amateurs. At this point, I’m happy being [...]

Yes We Can!
It’s 2:44 am Central Time, and I can’t seem to pry my eyes off the YouTube videos featuring Obama, Al Gore, Bill & Hillary and Joe. The DNC and announcement of Barack’s running mate have set politics into a frenzy. What were a long primary period and a period of political fatigue, are gone. I’m [...]

You’re not pretty and you can’t sing!
In case you’ve been out camping and eating granola, there was a pretty significant scandal about the Beijing Olympics opening ceremony. The most adorable little girl, Lin Miaoke, in a beautiful bright red dress [...]

PR: Political Relations
Instead of going out on Saturday night, I opted to join a discuss group called the Club of Rome. It’s a forum that meets every once in a while (we haven’t set the pace yet), and everyone brings food, drinks and ideas.
The topic for this weekend was “Is it okay to intervene and disregard [...]
