In response to the Critz winning a key race where the Republicans thought they could win? Here is my image: The scene is Burns kneeling in front of A seated and angry Sarah Palin. =Tim: Forgive me, lord. The faithful tea partiers were not strong enough to sell the whole "socialism" crap...

They just shout out of turn, do not cite facts, and do not show genteel respect for their opponents. When you are arguing with a politician, you should use terms like "sir" and be polite disagree. You should not yell at them. I watched the House debate over healthcare on C-SPAN. They do not...

...between Micro and Macro economics? A lot of Tea Partiers and conservatives state that the government should manage itself like a family. You spend what you earn. Oh, how CLUELESS they are about economics. A household's budget functions and should function COMPLETELY differently from that of...

I imagine that army ants behave in a very similar way to ancient human armies. (i.e. Roman legions) For what I know, they may even have tacticians. Either way, I know that other types of ants will abandon their posts and flee if they are scared. I also know that human armies of large size are...

One of the things that is driving up the cost of healthcare is simply that we are unhealthy. We eat too much junk food, we don't exercise, we drive wherever we go, etc. Now sadly, while you can install universal healthcare and perhaps guide the free market, it is hard to combat unhealthy...

Do you truly think that you can win a debate against a congressman? I was watching the pre-vote house floor debate over Healthcare. While I was listening to some Republican rant about how "Obamacare" was going to ruin our system, then listening to the Dems respond, it occured to me that no...

The 9 members of the hallowed Supreme Court make up my favorite branch of government. They are wise, do not have to report to voters (thus protecting them from the somewhat irrational masses) and only rule on the most important of cases. Yet I see many people who think that its members are not...

I am disgusted by the amount of dumb jocks using Yahoo answers to obtain better grades. This website should not be for that sort of trash, but rather for those who wish to speculate and ponder. Asking a question about history out of curiosity is worthy, but asking dumb questions like "Who were...

It isn't as if we have any major political dynasties that were able to produce 3 presidents in a row. (2 has been the max) Also, a harvard educated person would have a more cosmopolitan/big picture, less localized, view of the world, seemingly making them better for foreign policy. They would...
