So, who wants some legal weed and a political science debate?
As Friedrich Nietzsche once famously said, the Force is dead.
Apparently David Siegel didn’t get the memo: It’s the 21st century, not the 19th.
When the British riot, the police get involved. When Americans riot, one guy gets roughed up a bit.
America is divided. Partisanship has fractured the nation, immobilizing our government and rendering any meaningful discussion fruitless and a wasted effort. However, from the ashes of cooperation and mutual self interest, a new hope has arisen. A new age is dawning in American politics, if only we seize the light of change before the reactionaries of the past snuff it out in the name of the status quo.

New York City is a big place. So it’s not surprising that it has its fair share of political kooks with nutty ideas they think are the answer to America’s problems. It seems a little odd though, that those Big Brother wannabes are in office.
Ann Arbor is a fun place to visit, assuming you want to brave the traffic or take a bus. Be careful, though — I think the place’s craziness is contagious.
Benjamin Franklin said there are two things certain in life: death and taxes. Unfortunately, Americans really don’t like paying taxes. We have managed to turn avoiding taxes into an Olympic level sport, to a point where the country’s very financial survival is in doubt.
With Mitt Romney nearly guaranteed as the Republican Party candidate for the 2012 Presidential election, media efforts have turned to gleaning who will be his running mate.
For those curious if the University of Michigan will continue to annoy Michiganders, the answer is yes.
Governor Rick Snyder is trying his best to reassure Detroiters he’s looking out for them while trying to save the city from financial ruin. Well, more financial ruin than it’s already suffered in the last 50 years at least.
