When Context is Everything

Tuesday, July 14, 2009

We’ve had two very good examples recently of something that, when taken out of context, causes a vastly different reaction than if it is taken in context: Example One: Is Obama just a guy? Last week, a photograph flashed across the internet, which appears to show Obama checking something out: This photo is pretty funny; […]

The “Robot Theory” of Supreme Court Justices

Monday, July 13, 2009

The confirmation hearings for Sonia Sotomayor begin today in the Senate. The politics will be intense, as Republicans attempt to attack Sotomayor without appearing to be racist and thus anger Latinos. Much noise is going to be made about “identity politics“, especially Sotomayor’s comment in 2001: I would hope that a wise Latina woman with […]

Specter challenges someone else’s party loyalty!

Sunday, July 12, 2009

Arlen Specter called his opponent in the Democratic Party primary, Joe Sestak, a “flagrant hypocrite” and accused him of registering as a Democrat “just in time to run for Congress.” Remember that Specter just switched from Republican to Democrat, because polls showed that he was going to lose the Republican primary. Sestak says that he […]

George Bush — the other way around.” – David Letterman “A lot of entertainers are getting into politics. For example, Tina Fey says she might run for […]

Money is the reason Palin resigned

Friday, July 10, 2009

Everyone is trying to figure out why Sarah Palin resigned, but there is an old rule in politics: follow the money. I think Levi Johnston hits the nail squarely on the head when he says that all the money that Palin could make from speeches, books, etc. — money which she can’t or is not […]

Unintended Irony

Friday, July 10, 2009
