What are Moonbats and Wingnuts (Part I of II)
I’ve received quite a few emails lately asking me about moonbats and wingnuts. I guess I have used these two terms freely while writing articles for TheCandidacy.com and never stopped to consider if my readership was even familiar with them. In this two-part post I will define and give examples of each. This is Moonbats [...]

The War on Drugs. Should we Legalize all Drugs?
In my post about why I’m not a Libertarian I mentioned that I agree with much of the Libertarian Party’s platform on drugs, at least in theory. Here’s the jist of it – people should have the fundamental right to control what they put in their own bodies. Ok, since much of the pro-choice movement [...]

The Audacity of Dominican Politicians. How Much do Dominican Senators Make?
In the past, I described the U.S. Senate as a quasi-ruling class. I noticed that nobody cared to disagree with me. In this post I plan on calling Dominican politicians shameless. And I’m pretty sure that anybody with any knowledge of Dominican politics will agree with me without hesitation.

The Dominican Reality
In the ABOUT THIS SITE section of TheCandidacy.com I use some pretty strong words to describe the geopolitical situation here in the Dominican Republic (where I have lived for 5 years and currently blog from). In particular, I mention “wide-spread political corruption, abysmal public education, environmental degradation, inadequate healthcare, and alarming crime rates”. I stand [...]

A Question for the Presidential Candidates
There is nothing like a good debate. I like the tension and the pressure it puts on candidates. It’s a rite of passage that all politicians must go through. However, as much as I like watching the candidates, I watch the moderators even closer. It is ultimately the moderator who determines how good a political [...]

Oliver Stone is Planning a Film about George Bush.
According to The Daily Variety’s Michael Fleming, Oliver Stone is planning a film about George Bush.
During the interview, according to Fleming, “Stone declined to give his personal opinion of the president”.
“I can’t give you that, because the filmmaker has to hide in the work,” Stone said. “Here, I’m the referee, and I want a fair, [...]

Like Herpes, the Clintons are Forever
The Many H’s of Hillary
Does ANYONE actually think that Hillary (the) Clinton(s) will go away on her/their own? And what would the Mainstream Media DO if they did? Obama and McCain don’t have enough baggage to keep the media entertained. Rev. Wright, McCain’s age, and any future scandal from either one can’t hold a candle [...]

Three Ways Barrack Obama Could Improve his Popularity with the Military
In January of 1993, I was in my final months of college and Army R.O.T.C at Norwich University. I already had my assignment in hand and would be shipping off to South Korea after training at the U.S. Army Field Artillery Training Center at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. Life was good and those times were exciting. [...]

Three People who Need a Shower More Than Most
Third place belongs to moonbat-extraordinaire Cindy Sheehan. She’s spent so much time sleeping outside over the past few years that you get a feint whiff of livestock after just seeing her image on TV. In addition, those who snuggle with macho-dictator wannabees like Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez have to work extra hard to rid themselves [...]

Four (4) Reasons to Hate Dick Morris
Dick Morris used to be mildly amusing and, no, I’m not referring to his toe-sucking trysts with prostitutes (whom he would often let listen in on conversations he had with President Clinton). He used to be a reasonably well-respected political consultant – not for his ethics or service, but for occasionally getting things right. [...]
