Re: Render Unto Obama
Great diavlog.
I think energy will be a big voting issue in the Fall. In summer 2004, people were upset over $2/ gallon gas. In four years, the price doubled! Furthermore, we weren't in a...

Re: Summer Movie Extravaganza
As for why superhero films are the big thing recently, I definitely agree that the simple good vs. evil paradigm resonates with Americans. I do think a bigger cause might be that comic books are...

Re: Michelle Obama's Arms
Unless the titles of the topics are satirical, I don't think I'll be watching this one. I come to BH to get away from the banal dialog about Cindy McCain's cookies, etc... I'm not opposed to a...

Re: Afterthought
Rap music can have a persuasively stylish packaging and some relatively smart messages.

Re: The Good Behavior Game
P.S. I'd love to see more criminal justice-themed diavlogs on here. Really fascinating and the mainstream media does not go deep enough into this subject.

Re: The Good Behavior Game
I hate to join in on the MacDonald bashing-fest (she brings up a lot of relevant points and it makes for a great diavlog, even if you agree more with Kleiman). Nonetheless, I can't let this one...

Re: Science Saturday: Microcosm Edition
Lots of recent blogging heads have been on Colbert lately, Richard Florida, Robert Reich, and now Mr. Johnson. That was a great interview, btw. Congrats. And now I have to add Zimmer's book to my...

Horse Race Politics
I was starting to think, isn't the horse race trend playing into spinsters who don't want the discourse to be issues? Then I realized we have reason to doubt where all of the contenders really stand...

Re: Obama's Problems: FL & MI
What about "Florida and Michigan weren't truly represented by the outcomes in the primaries?" I don't think that's too complex an argument for the general public to latch on to. Not only that, it...

Re: Obama's alleged "cockiness" and "pride"
Is back-paddling and apologizing a wise thing to do politically? I prefer Obama's strategy of clarifying the intent of his statements and standing tall. Kinda like the John Wayne trait: even when...

Re: Calling Obama "Barry"... Isn't this is kind of like calling Kunta Kinte "Toby"?? Have a lot of anti-Obama people been doing this?

Re: Faith, Reason and Happiness
That's a great point. An atheist counterpoint to that would be that one doesn't need religion to reach that kind of life. Bob Wright makes a strong case for helping others and detachment from the...
