Political Readings of the Week (weekly)

• The New Yorker’s Endorsement of Barack Obama : The New Yorker

  2012 offers nothing like the ecstasy of taking part in a historical advance: the reëlection of the first African-American President does not inspire the same level of communal pride. But the reëlection of a President who has been progressive, competent, rational, decent, and, at times, visionary is a serious matter. The President has achieved a run of ambitious legislative, social, and foreign-policy successes that relieved a large measure of the human suffering and national shame inflicted by the Bush Administration. Obama has renewed the honor of the office he holds.

Political Readings of the Week (weekly)

• Two Presidents, Smoking and Scheming - NYTimes.com

  This. Is. Awesome. Bartlet for President!

  • Mr. President, your prep for the next debate need not consist of anything more than learning to pronounce three words: “Governor, you’re lying.”

• Don’t Mess With Big Bird - NYTimes.com

  Big Bird is the man. He’s 8 feet tall. He can sing and roller skate and ride a unicycle and dance. Can you do that, Mr. Romney? I’m not talking about your fox trot away from the facts. I’m talking about real dancing.

Sharing Political Links in Absentia

Since I haven't been posting to this blog for some time, except for the occasional political bookmark in the right sidebar, I decided to set Diigo to auto-post my political links as weekly blog posts. I have not had much time to keep up with things, since I am in nursing school full-time, but the auto posts should at least give some interesting reading! (If anyone but me actually reads this blog - ha)

Enjoy!
