The kids I know have a lot of opinions about race, but I’d say that in my HS, only about 30% of the kids care at all about politics, and most of them don’t know a lot about the issues. Most opinions are no more complicated that “Dude, that ain’t right.” or “Well he’s a […]

Over the weekend, I took part in the first Nebraska Democratic Caucus in over 40 years. I have to say, despite a lack of funding from the Nebraska Democratic Party and the ill-preparedness of the caucus sites, it was a very unique experience.
Early estimates put the turn out at my site as only 17 […]

In 2004, Barack Obama was apparently not thinking about the 2008 presidential race, so, in hindsight, I think that Obama wished that he had never visited a small coal-mining town 300 miles from Chicago.

In the speech, the presidential hopeful promised that, if he were to be elected in 2008, he would put forth more effort and more funding […]
