Not too long ago, John McCain proposed a gas tax “holiday”. Essentially, the 18¢ federal gas tax will be lifted for a period of time to, in theory, save Americans money. The only problem with this is that most economists don’t think this will work. Decreased price will increase demand, thus raising the price of [...]

No Comments »Jeremiah Wright Supports Hillary?
April 30th, 2008 Evan He obviously hasn’t endorsed Hillary, or for that matter McCain, but in watching him continuously harm the Obama campaign with every new word he utters, one has to wonder what his true motivation is. Or, more likely, I’m looking for deeper meaning out of someone simply attempting to stretch out their 15 minutes.
On to the Convention
April 25th, 2008 Evan A tie or a loss for Hillary Clinton in Pennsylvania this past Tuesday would have more or less forced her out of the race, allowing Barack Obama to finally mount a national campaign, with the support of the DNC and other pro-Democratic groups, against John McCain and the Republican Party. Alas, this did not happen. [...]

April 8th, 2008 Evan It’s all over the news that Mark Penn has resigned (been forced out? fired?) as Chief Strategist for Hillary Clinton’s campaign because of his professional ties supporting a Columbian trade deal that Hillary opposes. Basically, her campaign differed in position from his real job as CEO of Burson-Marsteller, a Public Relations firm. Well, they fired [...]
Obama wants to employ Al Gore
April 3rd, 2008 Evan I sadly gave up hope several months ago that Al Gore would be our next president, but the candidate who I’ve chosen to throw my support behind, Barack Obama, has once again earned my respect and admiration by being the first Democratic candidate to say that he would ask Al Gore to play a large [...]
A More Perfect Union
March 18th, 2008 Evan In case you somehow missed it, Barack Obama gave an incredibly moving speech today on race, politics, and the future of America. If you haven’t seen it yet, I highly suggest you spend the next half hour watching it. It is time well spent.
Fearmongering
March 2nd, 2008 Evan Fearmongering is, for those that might not be familiar with the term, the use of fear to advance one’s own opinions and agenda towards some end. Most recently, it has been used in election campaigns and as a tool to enter an unjust war. It was long ago perfected by McCarthy-era politicians playing on America’s [...]
Campaign Issues No One Talks About
October 24th, 2007 Evan I consider myself rather politically conscious. I watch and read the news, I’ve watched many of the debates of both parties. I do not, however, see any of the candidates seriously talking about any issues that I feel would truly benefit the United States. Sure, healthcare and the war in Iraq are important, but there [...]
My Two Cents on Al Gore
September 20th, 2007 Evan As you might already know, I’m fully in support of Al Gore getting reelected for President in 2008. I frequent a few different websites to keep tabs on my ideal presidential candidate in hopes that news will arise of his candidacy. Sadly, however, he has not (yet?) declared himself as a candidate. In defiance of [...]
The DHS scares the shit out of me.
July 27th, 2007 Evan If you don’t know what I’m talking about, the DHS is the government agency better known as the Department of Homeland Security. This Cabinet-level department of the federal government is charged with the duty of protecting the United States from terrorist attacks and responding to natural disasters. The latter half of that statement is clearly [...]
