Windows with an on/off switch: a new technology dynamically changes whether windows allow heat to pass through or not, while not impacting the light let in. Free singing telegrams through the end of this year from Western Union! (with a new technological twist) Follow-up to the Murder of Mosquitoes: “Genetic Genocide” details the risks and ethical quandaries […]

Last night, as the votes came in, I started to wonder if the results were an indicator of what we can expect for 2012. If that turns out to be the case then it just may portend that the most conservative agendas have run their course. Even before the election the landscape has been dramatically […]

This morning I find a news story that caught my interest mainly because it puts forth some compelling stats that I’ve been looking at all along and that you’d get zero perspective on from conservative sources. In fact, I’m fairly certain that virtually any fan of Fox News or conservative radio will see the headline, […]

Today House Majority Leader Eric Cantor was scheduled to give a speech at the University of Pennsylvania‘s Wharton School of Business. At the last minute he backed out and it’s clear it had everything to do with the audience he knew he’d encounter. That’s leadership? He instead submitted a speech that asks a few questions. […]

To my ear there’s now little doubt that the Operation Wall Street initiative has the entire conservative media flummoxed. They not only have no idea what to make of it, but in typical fashion, fear what they don’t understand and are doing everything in their power to ridicule and diminish it at every turn. This morning […]

Last night I got my first up-close look at the Occupy Philadelphia effort and, I have to say, it was a pretty awe-inspiring sight. City Hall looked like it had been carefully re-zoned as a campground site with literally hundreds of tents set in very organized rows and columns all over the grounds. There were […]

Today’s news includes a surprisingly early endorsement of Mitt Romney from New Jersey Governor Chris Christie. What I found interesting about this endorsement is its timing just a stone’s throw after Christie dashed any hopes of his running for President. What I suspect is that Christie really did re-consider his potential candidacy but without ever […]

The current news cycle is full of great commentary on the dawning realization that Mitt Romney is very likely to be the GOP‘s candidate come next November. The biggest issue of contention is his Mormon faith and the ballerina-like moves the other candidates are employing to avoid having to say what they really believe about Romney and Mormonism. […]

Over the course of the last two debates Congresswoman Michele Bachmann has shown everyone why she’s not Presidential material. I’ve been listening to this woman for quite some time now as some of the radio shows I used to monitor were from her neck of the woods so her name would come up often. Her […]

The Tea Party debate was held last night on CNN and anyone that missed it really did themselves a disservice as it showcased exactly everything everyone else needs to know about the Tea Party and why virtually everything they stand for is bad for this country. The very first thought I had was that candidate […]

Today the FCC killed the Fairness Doctrine. This policy at the FCC was created in 1949 to assure that all broadcasts presented issues in a way they deemed as “fair”. Of course that concept is all too flexible and could be construed in different light depending on any number of political pressures. It’s been a […]

Last night Jon Stewart struck another blow against hypocrisy in politics in a way that simply leaves opponents standing around looking silly. In this case the host of The Daily Show took issue with the talking points coming out of conservative circles regarding taxes and who should or shouldn’t be paying them. Fox News and […]
