Upcoming Essays for 2011

It's never too late to say what you think. So this year I will finally finish writing my essays on the Tea Party movement then I will write so much more as time allows. Here are the following titles:

Tea Party Whine
Who are these people? Before it was just another political splinter group, just another lame protest movement that probably thought they compared to the political movement of the 60's but were really just a mockery. Now they've placed Republicans into half of the Senate and pushed the Democrats back into a minority in Congress. Before I thought that there might be some people interested in them and what they stand for. Now I'm filled with unease with these people and the people they support. Stay tuned.

Oh Shit! The revolution was televised!
Who would have bet that there would be a revolution in Tunisa? Not a lot of people to be sure! But that there are three revolutions happening one after another? Amazing! So of course I had to write my take on it. And as soon as I write it you'll see it here first. :)

A fine time to be neutral! Do something Washington!
Of course once the 'Wow' factor had worn off, I couldn't help but to wonder what we as Americans should do to help. Should we help at all? Should we mind our damn business? American Foreign policy is kinda batting at 000 in things that American government shouldn't be involved in. Iraq keeps spring up as an example.
But in the case of Libya the American government should help. If only to clean up the mistakes of previous adminstrations. Although I'm not gunho for another war by any means perhaps a minor distraction of Naval boats just might give some of Muammar Gaddafi's paid mercenaries pause. Further research on my part might pull out some insights that some people might share.

So that's three of my planned essays. Hope I pull it off! Please stop by and read them. Even if you don't agree with my opinions I can only hope for some kind of dialog.
