  • Is Sarah Palin a Woman Of Destiny? - I first heard about Alaskan Gov. Sarah Palin on the AOL movers and shakers headline article last April. The brief article outlined her accomplishments and highlighted what a reformer she was for Alaska. Immediately I thought, will Sen John McCain think to add this woman to his ticket? Would it be the right political move to have a woman Vice President? This thought alone brought a smile to my face as we all expect woman to make headway in politics here in America. Hillary Clinton has paved the wave on the national level and it is a matter of time before a woman is president of the United States or even Vice President. Two of the most powerful positions in the world. When we were formally introduced to Gov.
  • Embrace Office Politics - "Bodacious" means to be bold, outstanding, and remarkable. Take those attributes to work and you're on your way to building a fulfilling, bodacious career. Does having a bodacious career sound exciting to you? It is! After starting as an $8 an hour customer service rep, I rose through the ranks of AOL, accepting four promotions and surviving over six layoffs to become the head of corporate training for 12,000 employees. Along the way I learned I needed to be bodacious to achieve the career I wanted. Out of that experience I created my "cheat sheet" of the essential Bodacious Career Builders. Here's another: Embrace Office Politics I try not to dwell on this too much.
  • The Palin Power Factor - The Sarah Palin frenzy goes on ...... We had another dose at the VP debate of what this governor is all about. She has the good looks, charisma, spunk, intelligience, self confidence, and charm all wrapped into one lovely package. Donny Deutsch of the Big Idea, puts it even better. She has the marketability of a good product. Of a Woman in Power. Here is what Donny has to say about Sarah Palin.
  • Surviving Office Politics - Keeping Your Job And Income - It is often quoted that the first profession or career choice in history was prostitution. If that is so then the second profession must be “politics”. Again and again the specter of struggles of human relationships and indeed of “office politics” rears its head again and again in the workplace. This is in spite of all practicalities and effects on human relationships, efficiency in the workplace and indeed on business effectiveness, profitability of the organization or firm in the marketplace. It is all foolish, counterproductive and indeed stupid.
  • Burgers, Fries And Ignorant Politics: Does Democracy Need An Overhaul? - America has become a confusing place for many people who are trying to decipher through the mess of politics that is inherent in a huge country that touts democracy. The Critical Review’s (No. 1 Vol. 19) article Ignorance as a Starting Point: From Modest Epistemology to Realistic Political Theory states that a new elitist political paternalism may be necessary to counter the general ignorance of the population. In other words, brighter minds need to make decisions for people. The concept of political elite makes some sense but in reality this is already the case. We have in the U.S. a pseudo-democracy in the sense that all of the candidates are known but few, except the elite, know what the candidates stand for. Democracy, in its early American terms, meant that politics was done on a local basis.
  • Gossip In Politics May Deceive You - Before people start to think that I am waging some sort of vendetta against the great Iain Dale, please be assured that I am not! I really like Iain's blog (and comment there far too regularly) and I have more than an ounce of respect for him as a commentator, but I think he is occasionally not quite spot on. I am talking about his criticism of DK/the Libertarian party's policy to abolish income tax. Personally, this wouldn't be my first policy were I to be elected PM but I don't see any reason why a political party shouldn't have it as a policy. A political party is surely free to set its own policies and be judged on them.
  • Cult Leader Calls Obama A Monkey - Just when many Americans believed that Barack Obama’s success in the Democratic primary was a sign that racial divisions were mending, racism has reappeared and threatens to curtail the progress that has been made. Lyndon LaRouche recently compared Obama, one of the most successful Blacks in politics, to a monkey and referred to his mother as a race-mixing slut, comparing her to Margaret Mead, a woman who had various husbands of various ethnic backgrounds.
  • Panama: The Politics - Politics in Panama has been more of constitutional democracy throughout the 20th century. The history of coup led by General Manuel Noriega back in 1968 has brought power to the military as Noriega had manipulated most of the highest officials of the government. It resulted to economic and diplomatic conflicts within Panama which affects the US relation to Panama. When Panama lost efforts to remove the dictatorship of Noriega, the US stepped with intentions to protect its assets established in Panama. When Noriega had slowly lost its power with low civil and public supports, he surrendered to the US. The Panama was then restored to democracy by 1991.
  • Dating Relationship Tip: Don't Let Obama or Clinton Screw Up Your Dating Relationship - You consider it nothing less than a minor miracle that you are still in this particular dating relationship. Yes you both really like each other and on many topics the two of you are in agreement or at least capable of understanding the other person's point of view. At times you even get the crazy idea that there is no obstacle either of you cannot overcome on your way to building a deep long lasting relationship. Tonight however was not one of those times. The evening started out pretty good but somewhere between the end of the movie and saying goodnight, you got into a doozy of an argument with your date. What is about commitment, relatives, friends or the quality of the movie?

  • Politics and Elections On a Political Societal Level - Politics and the Law of Attraction definitely mix. When people think of the Law of Attraction (LOA) they tend to focus upon money, health, relationships, employment and generally personal issues.
  • Should Obama Start Drama? - Throughout the Democratic primaries, Senator Barack Obama has dedicated his entire campaign to change. Change from the usual divisive politics and mudslinging that have characterized many presidential elections by putting more emphasis on the issues that are important to voters such as the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and the economy.
  • Chinese Politics, influences of the past, feeling of "déjà vu" - The actual debate concerning the political system in China raises many inquiries, remarks, critics, and observations... To what extent does communism benefit the People's Republic? Is there a democracy model that could be applied to China? What would be its long-term impact on China? On the World? Before discussing these subjects and arguing on details, we should try to have better insights on China's political model true origins. Another interesting point worth addressing is the fact that despite criticisms, most countries are actually keen on developing partnerships and other opportunities on its soil, under its rules.
  • The Role of a Watchdog in Texas Politics - While the slogan "Don't Mess with Texas" is a product of the state's Department of Transportation effort to clean up litter, the adage also applies to those who act as a watchdog over Texas politics. As also holds true in many other states, issues pertaining to the Texas government often fly under the radar and are either unreported or underreported by the daily newspapers and television news broadcasts. When that happens, it's up to watchdog groups and publications to shine the light on political transgressions and hot button issues that can impact Texas and the rest of the country. Traditional Media and New Media The Information Age has opened the floodgates and allowed individuals to gain more access to information and utilize more communication channels than ever before.
  • Political Unrest In Thailand - The situation in Thailand reminds me the old saying “be careful what you ask for you may just get it”. In September of 2006, Thailand went through a military coup. The military “asked” for the Prime Minister to step down.
  • How To Use Office Stress Management Techniques To Succeed In Your Career - Office stress management techniques can be extremely valuable for handling those pesky little issues that come up in your office. You really can cope with office stress without losing your steam or losing sleep every night! The most common types of stress that affects us today is office related stresses.

  • The Politics Of Internet Copywriters. - There have been times when the subject has come up that Internet copy writers were in fact, duplicating different websites. The unfortunate truth was that they were in fact some Internet copywriters duplicating web sites.
  • Character & Morals in Politics that HELP your Child - Mixing politics with martial arts, character, and confidence . Could be a fairly flammable combination. Oh well, a political rant along with a message. I get so sick of hearing about the Democrats and Republicans. I may have already irked some reading this. Am I saying that I'm not a Democrat or Republican I guess I'm for working together and getting the job done. It seems to me that before a politician worries about party affiliations he/she should worry about whether he/she is a person concerned for the goodwill of America and Americans.
  • Barack Obama: Seven Reasons He's The Right Choice - I'm voting for Barack Obama this November 4th for President of the United States. What follows in this article are 7 of the many reasons I am voting for Obama and not John McCain. 1. Obama was against the Iraq war from the start. Very few politicians had the integrity and the judgment to know that the Iraq war was a mistake before it began. John McCain certainly did not. McCain was one of the many politicians who thought Iraq would be a short easy war and that American soldiers would be "greeted like liberators" in Iraq. 2. Obama will lower taxes for people making less than $111,645 per year (that includes me, unfortunately!) more than John McCain will.
  • Is There Anything More Disingenuous Than a Whining, Petulant Political Party in America? - Copyright © 2007 Ed Bagley Presidential elections provide a lot of humor when you can recognize the joke. Every few days some new, outrageous flap kicks another outrageous flap off of the front page of our nation's daily newspapers.
  • Republicans Vs Democrats - Currently in the United States there are two main political parties, the Republican Party and the Democratic Party.
  • Technology and Politics - Americans have always had a say in their government, at least in theory. Since the Treaty of Paris was signed in 1783, the United States of America has been the "land of opportunity," where even a lowly log-splitter, exercising sufficient brains and dedication, can raise himself to the highest executive office. The U.S. Constitution safeguards the right to vote for every citizen over eighteen years of age, with few exceptions, ensuring a government of the people, by the people and for the people. Nevertheless, only about half of eligible voters historically vote for their president.
  • Political Games - America is gearing up to pick a new and hopefully improved President of The United States. The stakes are high and yet is anyone really asking the right questions? The media seems to be more concerned with sound bites or slips of the tongue or even a fashion statement to define the right person for the job. The political spin on what America and the World needs is almost a joke.
  • The Sexism Card In This Year’s Presidential Race… What Hillary Clinton Will Need To Win: Should She Cry? Show Her Feelings? Be As Tender As She Is Tough? - No one can dispute… this is an historic year for women in politics. Will presidential frontrunner Hillary Rodham Clinton continue to win primaries throughout 2008, perhaps earning the nomination of her party, and even being elected to the Oval Office? Is the country really ready for a woman at the top of the charts and the free world? Is this the right woman for the “ultimate political CEO position?” As we all explore whether Hillary will be the first woman to ascend to the job of U.S. President… it pays to take a look at the culture and experiences in Corporate America itself.
  • The Knives Are Out - The big guns within the Socialist party here in France are warming up for battle ahead of an election to choose a new leader even though that’s still over six months away. Segolene Royal officially announced her intention to stand last Friday.
  • Politics Headlining Issues We Have Today - Have we been lulled into this sensibility by the period of rapid population expansion we’ve experienced in the historically-recent past? Certainly markets for almost any good have been expanding with the population, and growth has become synonymous with prosperity in almost any endeavor (except when one is fighting cancer. Population can’t continue to increase forever, though. When will the concept of growth be reconsidered in mainstream human culture? Obviously, someday the language, and the context behind it, will change as human civilization approaches natural limits.
  • Rocking The Vote In 2008 - The story arc of Shades of Darkness, Shades of Grace covers five years and three elections. Set in Minnesota, home to the nation's highest voter turn-out, the Pierson family understands that voting is not a right but a privilege, and one they exercise regularly. With 2008 a presidential election year, readers of the novel might view Minnesota as an example for the rest of the country to follow. Nationally between 1960 and 2004, voter participation in presidential election years declined from 63.1% in 1960 to 55.3% in 2004. There were encouraging blips, as percentages rose between 2000 and 2004, from 51.3% to 55.3%. Still, that pales in comparison to Minnesota where a whooping 76.8% of the population voted in 2004, leading the country in voter participation. The decline in U.S.
  • Technology and Politics; The Internet's Influence on Politics - Can, and will, the next generation of politicians exploit the communication mediums available to them? Will the new communication mediums have the power to influence public opinion? Will politicians be the victims of technology, or will they use it to their benefit? Will one party benefit from the use of the technology more than another? All reasonable questions, considering the role technology plays in today's society. The staggering distribution numbers, through channels like iTunes, YouTube, or podcasting websites, indicate that technology could play a critical role in the upcoming elections.
  • Talking Politics With Teens - It can be challenging to discuss politics across generations without someone melting down (usually you) or tuning out (usually them), but it's not impossible. Here are six traits of adults with the power to engage teens and inspire them to activism. Be teachable. A conversation isn't about one person sharing knowledge and information with another. That's better known as a lecture (or so I've been told). Listen to teens, allowing them and others to inform your opinions. Be honorable. It's okay to take issue with a candidate's positions, but disparaging his or her character is a definite turnoff to teens and twenty-somethings.
  • It’s All In The Mind - A Psychiatrist’s Take On The ‘08 Presidential Race - McCain’s anger is well known, but it’s understanding what led to it that really helps you predict where it might take him. Similarly, we are all familiar with Hillary’s do-anything-to-win persona, but only when we learn what fuels it can we understand its power and, therefore, her ultimate fate. This is an understanding that I have gained through a year of study, and that’s what my book is all about. Clinton’s recent fanning of the flames around Obama’s pastor controversy is, I believe, a good example of an increasingly prominent aspect of her psyche: her self destruct button.
  • Viewing American Politics From The Perspective Of Martians - I'm being silly, but indulge me here as I veer off into the realm of fantasy. Not *that* kind of fantasy, but the world from a Martian’s perspective. Say we're explorers from Mars sent to Washington D.C., in human form, in the year 2007. What would be our conclusions about American politics were we to come down fresh, understanding very little of the political system?
  • More Guidance Counselors Would Help More Children Get Ahead - Before becoming a writer, I spent ten years marketing Web-based job posting and resume tools to college career centers. One outcome of this experience is that I gained considerable appreciation for career counselors and guidance counselors at the high school level.
  • Should The High School Military Test Be A Mandatory Test? - High school students interested in serving in our armed forces must take an entrance examination called the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB). The ASVAB is used to not only assess a recruit’s aptitude for military service, but also help identify their Military Operational Specialty — service-speak for job — if they choose to serve. According to the U.S. Department of Defense, over 722,000 high school students took the ASVAB during the past school year The ASVAB is also used as a mandatory test for high school sophomores and juniors at hundreds of schools in 34 states. The schools that make the ASVAB mandatory share the results with the military and assist their students in their career development, regardless of whether they decide to enlist. There are problems with this practice.
  • Endowment Tax is Unsound Public Policy - I just read in the May 19 Christian Science Monitor that a Massachusetts legislator proposes a 2.5 percent tax on college endowments over $1 billion. The Commonwealth State has nine such institutions including Harvard, MIT, Williams, Boston College, Amherst, Wellesley, Tufts, Smith and Boston University; all of them are among the most selective schools in the United States.
  • How To Utilize Your Co-Workers To Get Ahead: Nice Office Politics - Nice office politics may sound like an oxymoron, but only a fool will try to get ahead by acting like a contestant on Survivor or any of the other shows...
  • Oil Drilling and the Election - So you think the politicians are pushing the Offshore Drilling idea because it is something that will make the price of gas go down? I guess you also believed that in the 2004 election, that this Administration was going to do something about Gay Marriage? The reality of what this Offshore drilling talk as ONLY about is a hot button issue to get people to vote a certain way.
  • The Forgotten Reformer - Sometimes, one person is so identified with a movement that he or she becomes the movement, especially for historians. Such is the case with Oregon City lawyer William S. U’Ren and the Oregon System. In the late 1800s, U’Ren, a resident of Colorado, participated in Republican politics, studied book-keeping, read the law and edited a newspaper. Along the way, he grew disgusted with politics, abandoned any idea of serving in Congress, and, became a true believer in Henry George’s “Single Tax” - a confiscatory land tax that smelled of socialism and sought to put land speculators out of business.
  • The Career in Politics - Why do candidates for Congress spend millions of dollars for an office that pays $169,200.00? Between 2004 and 2006, members of Congress' net worth increased an average of 84% - book advances, speaking engagements, stock and land deals, privileged mortgages, etc. The United States is no longer the representative democracy our founders conceived because of a glaring flaw in our Constitution: it allows individuals to make a career of public office.
  • Achieve Political Success Through A Promotional Product Political Campaign - All political candidates may not agree on political, societal or economic issues, but it is safe to infer political candidates agree that a successful political campaign builds public support and success.
  • Politics in the Media: Reading Between the Lines - A vast amount of information is being thrown at the American people at break neck speeds these days, with the election race being at the top of the agenda. One minute we're hearing about this senator, that senator, this mayor or that governor. The human brain is good, but it isn't that good. It quickly uses what's available which draws upon our individual experiences--our maps. It is now more critical than ever to learn how to adequately sort through all of the information and draw rational, sound conclusions allowing us to take decisive action. The reason it is more important than ever is because we have been at war for quite some time now, and there seems to be yet another war on the horizon--Iran War.
  • Martine Aubry – The Lady In Waiting. - She might have been absent from national politics for the past eight years, but now a one-time leading light of the Socialist party, Martine Aubry, appears to be back in favour. Aubry is being touted – not least by herself – as a figure behind which activists could unite in the tussle for the leadership of the party due in November.
  • Jon Corzine’s Compassionate Conservatism - Here in New Jersey, the Garden State, we have a governor who has just proposed to make $500 million in permanent spending cuts, refinance state debt, reduce municipal aid, eliminate two cabinet departments, and introduce tougher standards in math and science education. These are proposals that you might expect from a Republican, but Jon Corzine is a fiscally conservative, moderate to liberal social issues Democrat. Corzine, a former chief executive of Goldman Sachs, one of the oldest white-shoe Wall Street investment firms, governs New Jersey as if he doesn’t need the job. He's taken his budget on the road to the voters;
  • The Holiday That Was, Then Wasn’t And Now Is - This is the rather muddled tale of the public holiday that disappeared from the French calendar four years ago when it became a quasi-working day. But lo and behold, and hallelujah, everything’s back to normal at last and lundi Pentecôte, or Whit Monday, is once again a day off. Up until 2004 it always was. Whit Monday was Whit Monday clear and simple – and nobody worked (just for a change). But the seeds of confusion were sown in 2003 though as the government sought a knee-jerk response to the fatal heat wave in June of that year, which killed more than 11,000 (mainly) elderly people.
  • To Give Respect When It's Due: Charles Rangel - No one currently in the United States Congress has the guts and might to say what is truly on his mind except Harlem's own Charles B. Rangel.
  • 18 In ’08 Gets My Vote - On October 1, I had the privilege to come to Rutgers to see a screening of 18 in '08, a documentary produced by David Burstein, a Haverford College freshman.
  • It's a Gas, Gas, Gas - In today’s Article we will be discussing oil. Well, where to begin. It’s not just to run cars on. There is a serious dilema in the world right now, and we humans sum it up to how are we going to drive our cars around town, to buy shit we really don’t need, but do, ourselves, need something to do. Wow, dyou get that. Well everything you pretty much come into contact with is fossil fuel based. Oil Baby. All the plastic, dyes, synthectic materials of different colors, fake wood, every different kind of resin imaginable, and even some food products, and yes , most invaluably, to run our engines. Right now the technology is here to power the world electrically. Water, Wind, Sun, and Heat.
  • 5 Benefits You Get By Learning Spanish - Spanish is one of the most widely spoken languages in the world. Aside from English and the Asian languages, Spanish is spoken on several different continents and is one of the most adopted languages for international commerce and politics. That said, it is hard to understand why Spanish is so frequently overshadowed by English as the one and only language to know. The benefits of learning any language are profound. As well as gaining the ability to write and converse in a foreign tongue, you also learn about the structure of language, syntax and grammar, and how these interact with your own natural language.
  • Can A Black Man With Power And Influence Survive In America? - A once popular Black Major of the city of Compton, Omar Bradley, was taken down. After media assassination, many dismissed his fate as justified, accepting his guilt. Others claim he was railroaded. "The King of Compton—The Assassination of a Dream," reveals Bradley's account of his own drama filled life, reared in Compton, and his ultimate exile from Compton's government.
  • The Last King Of Spain? - A young King Juan Carlos helped steer Spain from a dictatorship to a modern democracy after he came to the throne some 32 years ago, and his achievements include defending the fledgling democracy in 1981 from an attempted coup. Once popular and regarded as a man of the people, recent times have been more troubling for the king as political groups on both the left and right have called for an end to the Spanish monarchy. 1981 it could be argued was the height of the King's popularity when some army officers stormed the Spanish Parliament.
  • 10 Tips to Maintain your Visibility at Work - Whether you work in education, for a corporation or a non-profit organization, you will need to let people know your work.

  • Simba Makoni For President 2008 – A Chance For Zimbabwe To Move From The Polarization Of The Past And Make Zimbabwe To Work Again - Zimbabwe’s defining moment In 2 weeks time, on March 29, 2008, Zimbabweans have a chance to stop their suffering by rejecting the dictatorship in favor of a new dawn in the way they want the affairs of Government to be conducted. While local Government and legislative elections are also very important, the most crucial elections will be that for the Presidency. Since the 2000 parliamentary elections, Zimbabwe has been a polarized nation – ZANU-PF activists on the one hand and MDC activists on the other.
