The Wisdom of George Strombolopolous
I didn't know if I should put this in AMT or AET. His videos have range. Some just about music, some about "our times". So I'll put it here. I love this guy. He is so well-read. He uses words I, admittedly, have to look up, but he's not pretentious. He's extremely relatable. It's why I loved his show The Hour. He could go…

A thread about Bill Maher
I know you're not all Maher fans but starting at 2:30 (please post a link with just the last part if you have one, thanks!) in this video, Maher sums up what is really going wrong in this election cycle and American politics in general and probably in our society as a whole. And aren't most of us guilty of incivility at…

Canadian Politics Redux
I guess having a new thread goes nicely with having a new government. :) So Trudeau is ending Canada's bombing campaign in Syria and redirecting that money to more humanitarian efforts. I for one and very happy about this. That is more along the lines of what Canada is about IMHO.

Ukraine
Will putin on the ritz invade? Should the US and NATO go to war over Ukraine? Does it make a difference if its a "border excursion," like running some tanks over a farmer's field, versus a full-on invasion? Personally, I'm not sure the US should get involved, being anti-war, but on the other hand, I'm not sure not coming…

Ankle-biting Democrats
Everyone concedes that Iraq has not turned out like we hoped it would. But it's painfully obvious that Democrats (and some Republicans) are now emersed in political posturing based on opinion polls. They know the majority of Americans oppose the war, and so they are trying to score political points with their constituents…

SOLAT - Opinion & Order of the Court (misdated by Judge)
A Texas-based federal district judge wrote this today and I keep thinking that it is the best thing I have read to sum up a lot of my twisted and torn-up feelings about everything I am confronted with in the country that I hope will right itself again. So, I am offering it up. It is the order (temporarily) undetaining a 5…

Politics at work?
Didn't see a thread on this, maybe because politics simply don't come up as part of the day-to-day, or aren't vital to, most places of employment outside of the political realm.
