It is amusing to see Newt Gingrich attacked by Conservatives in Iowa. The funny thing is what got him in trouble is a true statement. Newt Gingrich called Paul Ryan’s Healthcare Plan tantamount to a far Right Wing plan. He eluded to it being a voucher system that would kill Medicare. Ironically, Newt Gingrich in […]

The premise of Eli Pariser’s speech at TED really made me think. While I do not think Facebook or Google are trying anything other trying to improve the user’s experience and provide relevant information to the user, Eli shows the limitation of the current filtering. While we want personalized data, we do not want only […]

This was a shocker. Don Lemon dispels all the stereotypes about gay men. I am watching him on CNN now explaining that he is coming out given that he normally asks much of his interviewees pertinent questions and they deserve the truth as well. He was visibly nervous in his interview as he does not […]

I really do not care about Gingrich’s extramarital affairs or the character of his current wife as she cheated with the husband of his sick wife. What I do care about is the hypocrisy of not only Gingrich but the Conservative media that covers him. That Common could have had such a long week on […]

Only by knowing the facts and mitigating these in a pragmatic but not necessarily ideologically pure manner will the immigration issue be […]

Fallacies and false narratives are like cancers in a society. Just like a cancer can go undetected for years without causing any real damage to the body, so can fallacies and false narratives destroy the fabric of a nation. In fact some cancers even when detected can be managed for an indefinite amount of time […]

The monumental hypocrisy of Newt Gingrich is evident from the video below. He attacks the President on the individual mandate that forces every able bodied American to purchase insurance even though he supported it in the past. Moreover the value of having an individual mandate is demonstrably a fiscally responsibility stance. Newt Gingrich proves exactly […]

I received this email from my mother earlier today. I was taken aback because most of the times I get any chain letters with President Obama in the title, it is usually a hateful misleading chain letter intent on misinforming Americans into doubting arguably one of the most thoughtful, thinking, pragmatic, and effective presidents we […]

If I were cynical I would think President Obama kept the immigration issue simmering without major attention to make it an issue in the 2012 election to ensure the Hispanic population, a population that votes below its numbers, get fired up to vote this time around. Irrespective, the case he painted puts both himself and […]
