Barack Obama is the Rabies Shot America Needs

I am sitting here in Berlin, Germany, listening to NPR on 104.1 FM (yes, we have National Public Radio on-tap in Berlin, it is true), and I am rooting for Barack Obama. I have to admit that I voted Republican in the last two elections, in 2000 and 2004, because I was appalled by both […]

Let’s face it, we’re in a recession. In the past five weeks, the stock market has tanked, the credit market has dried up, and a very large rescue/bailout plan has seemingly had little effect. Companies are now cutting back and employees are being let […]

Thank You All Who Supported International Medical Corps!

On behalf of the International Medical Corps and Abraham Harrison, thank you so much for all of your support over the last four weeks to get the vote out to help get the International Medical Corps into the top-five of the Members Project and then for securing the $100,000 from American Express, to be used […]

Sarah Palin Comment Thread Par Excellence

If you have not been keeping on top of all of the great comments streaming in to the AH Poll entitled “If John McCain died or became incapacitated, would Sarah Palin be competent to be President?” you are really missing out! Some of them are the most insightful, thoughtful, and brilliant collection of thoughts […]

Is There a Danger in Brand Barack Obama?

There are so many amazing things about the Obama campaign — including incomparable media savvy. Douglas Rushkoff wrote an insightful post about “brand Obama” that I consider to be one of the reasons why I supported Hillary Clinton — turning America around from the mess left by the Bush White House is going to be […]

The Webb GI Bill Finally Signed Into Law

I am very pleased that Senator Jim Webb was able to get his Bill, the Webb GI Bill, signed into law because I have been ashamed of the way our government shows its appreciation to our vets of foreign wars, including the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan. Senator Webb is right, some of the most […]

Denis Hayes on Tackling Climate Change

Lisa Hayes popped me an article by Denis Hayes, a man who suspiciously seems related to Lisa, “Fantastic new article by Denis Hayes about energy policy — please feel free to share far and wide!” Well, I am the biggest fan of Lisa and so here we go — my attempt to share this article […]

Shame on the US for Withdrawing from the United Nations Human Rights Council

While the news that the United States has completely withdrawn from the United Nations Human Rights Council is still rumor and gossip and hearsay, I am preparing to be completely appalled and disheartened by the (probably true) news. Well, read this, via Boing Boing, the Human Rights Tribune, and Digg. Good Lord!
The news […]

Rest in Peace William F. Buckley, Conservative

When I say that I am a conservative, I think of my Freshman roommate, Alan Matlack, who was smart, aggressive, thoughtful, passionate, intellectual, curious, and confidant. Not backward-ass country hick conservatism, but William F. Buckley conservatism. You’ll be missed, Mr. Buckley — especially as we’re rigorously and vigorously being taken over by a country […]

Only Public Diplomacy Can Heal the U.S. Brand Perception Crisis Abroad

Now that I have moved to Berlin, I get to hear VOA and NPR Worldwide and the European version of BBC Worldwide and I am pretty excited. I can finally hear US propaganda “outside the border” which is fascinating. As part of NPR Worldwide’s broadcast this AM (104.1 FM), I got to hear […]
