Tony Blair has hit back at his critics saying that 'not everyone' hates him, and that abroad, he remains highly popular. Blair has been mercilessly attacked for the riches he has attained post Downing Street and criticized for hiding his earnings from the eyes of the public through a

Tony Blair's stunning admission to the BBC that he would have invaded Iraq regardless of whether there had been Weapons of Mass Destruction revealed the true nature of the U.S -U.K military adventure in the Middle East.

The ugly truth behind the political charade was that the decision...

It is sad to say that Barack Obama has cowardly allowed himself to be bullied by the military and the hawks in his own party and the Republicans. In choosing to send 30,000 more troops to the endless black hole that is Afghanistan, Obama has shown he has...

I try to make it a point not to blog about celebrities as I think their dominance in modern culture is immensely damaging to people, particularly young teenagers. Beauty Pageants like 'Miss America' perpetuate the myth of physical perfection and objectify women as commodities rather than human beings. Parading around...

Mark Evison, a Lieutenant in the British Army, died in May of this year in Afghanistan from a bullet wound to the shoulder. He commanded his men to safety before losing so much blood that he fell unconscious.

Unfortunately, he never woke up.

The reason I am writing about...

As money has slowly but surely taken over the political process in America, it is no longer possible for a candidate to achieve mainstream recognition unless they have several powerful industries behind them. The banks, oil, defense and insurance industry have ensured mainstream candidates never threaten their bottom line. As...

According to Tech Crunch, Internet giant Yahoo tripled its profits this quarter, boosting its income by $130 million.

As a share holder, you'd be pretty pleased, and as part of management, the picture is decidedly better than it was last year when its share price plummeted after...

It is always good fun when beltway hacks attack each other, although at the higher end of the spectrum, the arguments are a little harder to decipher. When you boil it down though, debate generally revolves around the following topics: Is America the best country ever, or is it just...

Rupert Murdoch is a smart man. In the U.K, Murdoch aligns his newspapers with the popular political party and helps them enact their policies by giving them favorable coverage. For the past 12 years, he supported the Labour Party. Now they are out of favor, Murdoch switched seamlessly...

Things do not look rosy for Gordon Brown in the U.K. Having inherited the mother of all messes from his predecessor (which he admittedly helped to create), Brown never really had a chance to begin with. The Tories look set to win the next election, and Labour really...

The revelation that Michael Jackson's death was ruled a homicide threatened to derail media attention on the vitally important health care debate. One could almost hear the cogs begin to turn at CNN/Fox/MSNBC as they geared up for a media love fest that would have them pour millions of dollars...

It has become increasingly clear that the president and the Democratic Party have done a poor job of articulating why we need a public option in the next health care bill. The Republicans and centrist Democrats have successfully managed to dictate the terms of debate, casting the push for a...

The gang of corporate organized health care protesters, senior citizens opposed to extending medicare, and Right Wing loud mouths dedicated to crushing meaningful health care reform have finally gone too far.

Barack Obama has been compared to Adolf Hitler, accused of plotting to bring eugenics to America, wanting to...

After publishing a piece on the absolute idiocy of the Obama Birther movement and its potential to turn nasty, I've been inundated with literally hundreds of emails decrying my comparison of the Birthers to the 9/11 Truthers.

The offending paragraph:

The 9/11 truth movement was enormously helpful to...

The following video came from a Town Hall meeting with Mike Castle (R-DE). A woman stands up, barely able to control her emotions, and furiously demands Barack Obama prove he is a United States citizen:

It's...

While I'm fairly sure whole scale fraud occurred in the recent Iranian elections, the level of coverage and scrutiny of the Ahmadinejad regime has been somewhat bewildering. I touched on this in a previous article, but I think it is worth exploring some more.

The American media...

Poor Pat Buchanan. A failed political career born out of a platform that only appeals to other grumpy white men, Buchanan is stuck in an endless circle of self induced rage and irrational fear....

Abortion is a topic I rarely discuss, mostly because I have no idea where I really stand on the issue. I personally find the notion of destroying unborn fetuses very troubling, particularly in the later stages of development. I'm also pro-choice, because the issues surrounding pregnancy are so complex that...

I've always been a fan of British Zoologist Matt Ridley, and have read several of his fascinating books (The Red Queen: Sex and the Evolution of Human Nature is particularly good). But outside of scientific issues, Ridley is about as clued up...
