The Problem Really is the Heterosexuals in the Military
There is a culture which surrounds all Military bases – both from the nature of a military and from the parasites that promote wanton behavior. The Department of Defense has let our soldiers down. Preparing a soldier for combat is not the only responsibility of the DOD – preparing the soldier for all aspects of life seems appropriate.

Something is Terribly Wrong in Youth Football
He was ‘jacked up’, got his bell rung, he was clocked. He took it like a man. This is real man sport. Only a real man could take a hit like that. Have you ever heard any of those sort of comments regarding football? Have you ever used those terms yourself. I have. And I [...]

The Changing Face of Etiquette
As we, our culture, are catered to by technology and the marketing machine, we begin to feel more entitled to the things that we consume and the benefits of our service industry. The idea of serving others is lost on those who become complacent with being served themselves.

The Staying Power of Hannah Montana – and Miley Cyrus
I have written before that I know more about 1521 C.E. Europe than I do about pop culture in America today. But this magazine of ours has prompted me to look around. I even wrote a post on Lindsay Lohan. Hannah Montana’s name came up recently because she was selling out a concert in Kansas [...]

Posted by michaelscherer

work in the James R. Thompson Center and has met with staff to discuss
the state budget and short term loans to help alleviate some of the
state’s money pressures. Guerrero said Blagojevich is working on [...]
Obama’s New World Order
By Karen Tumulty and Mark Thompson
It was hard to miss the message that Barack Obama was sending with the powerful tableau lined up behind him onstage in Chicago. “I assembled this team because I’m a strong believer in strong personalities and strong opinions,” the President-elect said of his national-security picks. The top three members of [...]
Barack WHO?
Posted by Karen Tumulty
After Sarah Palin got fooled by a prank call from “Nicolas Sarkozy,” you can see why a politician would be skeptical:
WASHINGTON (CNN) –A Florida congresswoman – convinced she was being prank-called by a Barack Obama sound-alike – hung up on the actual president-elect Wednesday.
Florida Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen was told by an aide [...]
Feminism and The Three Arguments Against Gay Marriage
By Michael Scherer
Arguments against gay marriage tend to fall into three broad categories: it is a threat to tradition (the idea is historically not sanctioned; the bible does not approve); it is a threat to children (kids will learn about homosexuality in school, confuse gender roles, or even become gay themselves); and it is a [...]
Obama Announces More White House Picks
Two of these we sort of knew: Ron Klain will become Vice President Joe Biden’s chief of staff and Valerie Jarrett, longtime friend and confidante of both Barack and Michelle Obama, will have the title Senior Advisor and Assistant to the President for Intergovernmental Relations and Public Liaison (which looks like a very broad troubleshooting [...]

David Brooks Admits Defeat, For Now
By David Brooks
As the election came to a close, I wrote a story about the dismal aftermath for the GOP: A leaderless party, a battered brand, an issue set that seems outmoded, an abandonment of bedrock principles, etc. The list goes on, and depending on which Republican you are talking to rather varied. On one [...]
A Brief History of the “F-Bomb”
A Brief History Of
The “F-Bomb”

Comedian George Carlin performing his infamous 1973 monologue “Filthy Words”
“The F-word is one of the most graphic, explicit and vulgar words in the English language,” U.S. Solicitor General Gregory Garre proclaimed last week during a Supreme Court hearing on the First Amendment case Federal Communications [...]
First Press Conference
Well, if the presidential campaign didn’t convince you that Barack Obama is one disciplined fellow, his first public appearance as President-elect certainly should have. The press conference was notable for several things:
–he did not stray from or change a single position that he took during the course of the campaign. He emphasized his previous stated [...]
First Dude
It turns out Todd Palin is a closet metrosexual:
On top of the $150,000 first outlined in Federal Election Commission filings, Palin spent “tens of thousands of dollars” on additional clothing, makeup and jewelry for herself and her family, including $40,000 in luxury goods for her husband, Todd, our colleague Michael Shear reports. The campaign was [...]
To The Mountaintop
By Joe Klein
Word comes that Barack Obama’s grandmother has died. The timing is ridiculous. But think, for a moment, if you will of Madelyn Dunham, a white woman from Kansas, strolling the aisle of a supermarket, or having lunch in a coffee shop, with her grandson–way back at the turn of the 1970s, when such [...]
Signs, Signs, Everywhere Signs
NEWPORT NEWS, Va.–The McCain campaign makes signs for its crowds, usually simple messages painted in broad strokes with the sort of gritty red and blue paint they give to grade school kids. The messages are pretty standard: “We [Heart] McCain”; “Women 4 McCain”; “Keep Virginia Red”; and “McCain =The Hero America Needs.”
The crowd’s own handmade [...]
McCain in the Gutter
By Joe Klein
There is so much desperate, crapulous spew from the McCain campaign right now that it’s hard to keep track of it all–but this ad, via Andrew Sullivan, marks some sort of low. Yet again–in a last, desperate attempt to scare the elderly Jews of Florida–McCain posits Mahmoud Ahmadinejad as the “leader” of Iran, [...]
McCain has a Plumber; Obama has an Army
Or, rather, an Air Force pilot:
The convention in Denver was Mr. Finan’s introduction to big-time politics, and he quickly found himself doing broadcast interviews for the first time.
Between events he and about 25 other Iraq and Afghanistan veterans became like a small platoon.
They slept on supporters’ floors. They hung out. And they shared stories about [...]
