Have the Democrats Blown it for a Generation?
Independent’s Eye by Joe Gandelman It would be bittersweet for Democrats to rewatch HBO’s “By the People: the Election of Barack Obama” which details the 2008 election and the high hopes raised — and tears joyfully shed — on an election night seemingly a lifetime ago. Things haven’t worked out according to their hopes and…

The Power and Danger of Talk Radio
Independent’s Eye by Joe Gandelman What’s the real power in America? What has revolutionalized American politics, its direction, tone, even the way political parties interact and politicos talk on the stump, in Congress and in front of cameras?

Anywhere But Here

Of Junk Food and Junk News
Once on a flight I ate a cheeseburger-in-a-bag. It was a wonderfully microwaved beefy dough ball of cheesy-type goo. It tasted amazing! Of course, it’s designed to taste amazing.

In the Past Decade – Extreme Weather Deaths Outnumbered War Casualties
Safe to say, nothing is so bad that a hurricane can’t make worse. Take an existing problem, toss it around in the wind and smack it with flying debris – it’s certainly not going to improve. Shoddy construction is made worse, communication concerns – made worse, a struggling economy – made worse, disastrous Bush presidency…

The Daily Content
You have here what I’d humbly call an “opinion column.” Fact is, you can call this 665-word missive anything you like, as long as you don’t call it “content.” For those who take their creativity seriously, content has become a dirty word. With so much space to fill on the Internet and the cable dial,…
