2011 Year in Review

By donar | Related entries in Political Graffiti

The 2011 year is best summed up with these three words, Democracy, Disasters and Devices. Technology in my opinion was the big story from Nuclear power gone awry, Steve Jobs passing and leaving a huge technological legacy, Mid East and Occupy protests using social networks to organize and mobilize and of course the crazy GOP [...]

Opportunistic, partisan hackery

By Jacob | Related entries in News

I’m reading Crooks and Liars before bed. There’s this post about Mitt Romney’s dog that ends with: Earlier this year, PolitiFact verified Collins’ version of the tale. “Seamus was strapped to the roof of the family car, but in a carrier with a protective windscreen,” they wrote. “We rate Collins’ statement Mostly True.” It’s odd, [...]

This Week In The GOP VEEPstakes…

By Jennn Fusion | Related entries in 2012 Election, Veep

“What goes up must come down,” as the old adage says. Mitt Romney was flying high like a kite on a windy day for so long, that it’s reasonable to assume he would have a hard time captivating the nation’s attention until election day. To be fair, Mitt still seems the most electable candidate in [...]

By Greg Voakes | Related entries in Pop Culture, Science

The 2002 film Minority Report, based on a story by Philip K. Dick, showed worldwide audiences the promise of an incredible future in which crime was predicted, and stopped, before it ever occurred.

Ron Paul Drops Searing New Anti-Gingrich Ad

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2012 Election, Newt, Republicans, Ron Paul, Video

Looks like the Dr. is stepping up to the plate and calling Newt out on his sketchy, flip-floppy record. With Newt way up in Iowa (even though he just got an office in the state a week ago) and now leading the GOP contenders nationwide, expect all of the other candidates to aim their guns [...]
