1 FaverShareViewed: 2 TimesQuoted: Another hyperbolic, conservative rant about liberals in academia? Perhaps I should confess my biases. I do dislike extremism of the Left and of the Right. But I have never been conservative enough to vote for a Republican presidential nominee. And the academics whose growing power and abuses of power concern me are far to the left of almost all congressional Democrats.
click to playKeith Olbermann perfectly very eloquently addresses many of the inconsistencies that the Clinton campaign has had over the past 6 weeks.

She gets absolutely crucified in the comments section. For a CNBC anchor that presumably makes a better than average salary, she is f*cking needy and high maintenance.
And as far as hot TV news anchors go, she isn't even in the top 10. Melissa Theuriau? Okay I might reconsider my position for her. Erin Burnett isn't even a Jane Skinner or Mika Brzezinski.

Interesting read. I think there is some truth to it. However part of the credit for this resurgent interest in politics among "independents" and casual observers is owed to the circumstances of this election. You have a lame duck that has become increasingly incompetent and is a poster child for the spite-inducing Aristocratic facets of our country and our government. Its only natural for people to look to someone that seems to be the complete opposite of what we currently have.
I will admit that I have been waking up at 9am on Sundays for the past month or so to listen to the talking heads summarize the week in presidential politics.

Obama is the first candidate of his generation truly to be an agent of change who inspires, motivates and ignites the passion in a large segment of Americans who had ignored politics because it was unseemly and didn't move people to action. My e-mail inbox and my talk show lines filled up with people who say that listening to Obama empowers them to get involved, that he is able to connect with them on an emotional and spiritual level that is reminiscent of John and Robert Kennedy and the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.

2 FaversViewed: 5 TimesQuoted: There are two dominant modes when it comes to the study of cross-cultural procrastination. The first takes the form of the international managerial missive—an ancient narrative that delineates the work and business practices of people from one culture, so that a person from another culture can do business with them. The second mode seeks to quantify, in scholarly terms (i.e., with percentages), just who in the world procrastinates and for how long.
