Today I'm going to be live blogging Inauguration Day. Today we will witness the peaceful transfer of power, a pretty amazing thing that you don't see in many western democracies. Knowing how divisive this election has been and how many rallies are planned, I suspect there might be a few blips, but I don't expect anything horrible to happen. In fact, in just watching a
If you're like a good chunk of the US population, and probably a large percentage of the rest of the world, you probably think that come Friday, it's the end of the world as we know it. Or maybe it will be the end of the world? Who knows, maybe shortly after Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States,
It's been one week since Donald Trump was elected as our next President of the United States. It's still pretty unbelievable. Even more unbelievable is that not everyone is a racist. I know, it's hard to believe, especially if you venture out into social media, but that's the truth. Not even half the population, the half that voted for Trump, is a racist. Ugh, I
If you're like most of the American population you're wondering what the hell happened yesterday. You're also probably wondering how to survive the Trumpocalypse without losing your mind, dignity, friends, etc. You may or may not be wondering how the media and pundits got it so wrong. And if you're like many people you're busy pointing fingers and demanding that those who voted for him
The GOP better get their shit together, and fast. It should have been no surprise to anyone that there will be no criminal charges against Hillary Clinton for the very careless handling of classified information, and unless the GOP really prefers Hillary to Trump, they need to get their shit together. And fast. Hillary was never going to be indicted. Never. The woman is a Clinton
A new Campaign Season has begun. Yesterday Hillary Clinton officially threw her hat in the ring. It was a shocking move since no one was expecting her to run for President. Marco Rubio threw his hat in the ring as well but nobody cared. If you look around any social media sites you can see how the campaign is going to shake out. This time
I received this email this morning. Subject: ..... Name: Maximillian Steel Email: dumbass@hotmail.com Message: You are a mindless automaton who has the audacity to call others lemmings when you support the epitome of lemmings, the GOP. So I assume you are a rich person if you are voting for the rich man's party, If not than your even dumber than I expected. It must be hard
I can't wait until the 2012 election is over. Now don't get me wrong, I've loved all the name calling and bickering on Newsvine and have even participated in a smackdown or two, for that the election has been entertaining. And really, isn't politics like sports now? It's not as if either of the candidates will actually accomplish anything anymore. I'm looking forward to the
I turned on the TV last night to catch the weather, before going to bed (chance of snow, thanks Jonathan), I had been reading an actual book so it took my eyes a moment to focus on the TV screen where I saw "Osama bin Laden Killed". Osama bin Laden had been off my radar for a while. I really didn't think we were
Say what you want about Obama and his health care bill. I'm just glad to see that Emmanual Lewis has recovered from the death of Michael Jackson and has found an even more famous black man to hang onto.
