Interview with Joe, the Most Annoying Person in the History of Humanity (Part I of II)

Below is a word-by-word transcript of an interview with Joe, who insisted on being interviewed as "The Most Fascinating Person in the History of Humanity" but who is anything but.

--I can’t believe I’m doing this This interview is going to be a complete waste of time.

My college friend was always a liberal, but most people become one in college.

I was wired in politics from middle school, but most of my pre-college friends weren't. Yet two months into college, when we got together for the first time since high school graduation, they'd

Joe Michael Sasanuma Obituary

Joe Michael Sasanuma, who earlier today died at the eternal age of 18, never had a moment in which he didn't enjoy life.

He lived by the words "What's the point of living if you can't feel alive?", a line fittingly taken from the James Bond movie "The World is Not Enough".  Of the many things

No, I’m Not Voting for Trump, but I Get the Message

No, I'm not voting for Donald Trump, but I hear the anger, loud and clear.

That's what I have to say about the presidential election this year, and I urge everyone to have the same attitude.

The reasons I cannot vote for Donald Trump hardly require rehashing.  I find troubling his views on Muslims, immigrants, foreigners and women, just to

A Modest Suggestion for the Politically Inclined

I have a suggestion for those who are politically interested: surround yourself with people who are disagreeable.  Surround yourself with a lot of them.

That means that if you’re in college, odds are you should be seeking people who go to meetings of College Republicans (yes, those people exist, in surprisingly large number).  If you’re a working

Principles Do Matter, Which is Why Mitt Romney is So Offensive

I think principles in politicians matter, and I simply don't see how anyone who shares this commonly-held view can support and vote for Willard Mitt Romney.

Mind you, it takes a lot, I mean a lot, for me to be offended by a politician for his perceived lack of principles.  I'm far more sensitive than most to

My 2010 Midterm Election Predictions

This blog has a no politics policy, but there is an exception once every year before the elections.  One of the things that always stuck with me as a political scientist wannabe is the need to make electoral predictions so I can be held accountable for the analysis I make about elections.  Political analysts excel

Distinguishing “Should” from “Could”

I think one of the most troubling flaws of American society is its inability to distinguish "should" from "could." To put another way, we seem to have fatal flaw in saying just because you can do something doesn't mean that you should, and just because you shouldn't do something doesn't mean you couldn't.

Oh How I Love Myself

I love myself.

This blog is all about me, which is why I love it and I need people to read it, comment on it and love it.

If I'm partaking in a conversation, I need to be the center of attention.  I need people to laugh at my stories and show interest in what I say

I Could be Wrong, But I Doubt It

I could be wrong, but I doubt it.

I have gone  through five years of grammar school, three years of middle school, four years of high school, four years of college, three years of law school and nearly two years of work experience.  I have stayed consistently in one side of the political spectrum.  I studied

25 Random Crap About Me

My sister, that bored nincompoop, created Note in Facebook with a list of 25 random facts about herself and then created a "rule" under which an unfortunate soul who was tagged will have to do the same thing.  Presumably this is the most modern rendition of the cursed chain letter so the failure to respond

In Politics, Principles and Bipartisanship Collide

Senator Judd Gregg of New Hampshire withdrew his nomination as President Obama's Secretary of Commerce.  The new president's first month in office has been quite bumpy, with the Commerce Secretary's job increasingly turning into a cursed cabinet post. As rough as it has been for the president, I am still withholding judgment on the Obama

On Liberal’s Acceptance–So Long As It’s Acceptable

I have many liberal friends, an inescapable consequence of attending a post-secondary education institution in Boston, pursuing a post-college degree in Boston, and obtaining a professional job requiring a high degree of education in New York.  While I obviously don't share most of their viewpoints, they and I have one thing in common:  we all
