America
Feel the Bern on Hillary
Even though I’m in Italy, I feel obligated, as a Political Science major, to talk a little bit about what’s going on in the American political realm. The two democratic front runners, as you may know, are Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton. Personally, I have no idea which one to vote for quite yet. Bernie […]
Hillary’s “Secret”
You don’t really have to watch this video to know what Hillary is announcing. Surprise, surprise, Hillary is running for president! And as many have said, it has probably been the world’s “worst-kept” secret. Besides the obvious confession, if you take the time to watch her announcement video, it is probably one of the most […]
Hillary’s “Scandal”
*When I refer to Clinton, I mean Hillary Clinton, NOT Bill Clinton. Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton: we know a lot about her and her promiscuous husband don’t we? But is that who Hillary is? The common adjectives that I’ve heard her described as include: bitch, head-strong, arrogant, wife, lesbian, mother, strong, leader, stubborn, hypocritical, unsuitable, […]
Land of the Free, Home of the Racists (Part II)
Can you hear them? Our justice system can’t breathe. Or was that Eric Garner? Oh, it’s both. What’s going on in America? Riots, police brutality, more riots, lives lost, some rallies, some government walk outs, and who knows what will come next. Will the PEOPLE get what they want? What exactly do the PEOPLE want?

Watch this 2-minute video: The Difference Between US and UK Ebola News Coverage (YouTube) So what exactly is Ebola and what does it look […]
The Free Man’s Burden
A – M – E – R – I – C – A Don’t you feel as though you should start singing West-Side Story’s “America” – “I want to live in America,” or is that just me? “Okay by me in America . . . Everything free in America . . .” Sing with me […]
Osama Bin Laden Got Away Easy
Osama Bin Laden was killed in an operation led by American forces in Pakistan, early Sunday, May 1, 2011. He was shot in the head, and you guess it right, died as a result. But I believe he got away very easy, given how notorious he was. I think some people should NOT be killed. […]
