The Political Blog For Cynical Millennials: My Dad is Mr. Letter to the Editor
http://the800lbsgorilla.blogspot.com/2008/12/my-dad-is-mr-letter-to-editor.html
Monday, December 22, 2008. My Dad is Mr. Letter to the Editor. There's something revolutionary in writing a letter to the editor of a local newspaper. Last quarter, I took History of American Journalism and heard lecture upon lecture on how the opinion pages of newspapers thrived as dialogue between editorial boards and community members. Sometimes I feel like James Franklin. My dad, who has recently embraced the digital replacement form of letter to the editor in the company blog. This ran in print.

The Political Blog For Cynical Millennials: Bye, Bye Voinovich, Hello Democrats!
http://the800lbsgorilla.blogspot.com/2009/01/bye-bye-voinovich-hello-democrats.html
Monday, January 12, 2009. Bye, Bye Voinovich, Hello Democrats! Note: This first story affects me emotionally because I despise Rep. Tim Ryan, who is mentioned as a possible replacement for Voinovich.

Voinovich retirement could set up tough primaries. Contributed by Reid Wilson. 01/12/09 10:13 AM [ET]. Voinovich, the 72...

Wednesday, December 3, 2008. Renegotiate With UAW And I May Be OK. So my dad recently engaged in a dialogue with a certain future professor of mine (he teaches a required course I need to take in the spring) after said professor wrote a Plain Dealer column. And apparently in the Dispatch as well) promoting the Detroit bailout. And he loves to attack unions. Because I can only attest a knowledge of the basic when it comes to labor unions (a group of employees of a certain occupation or industry who come t...

Friday, December 5, 2008. Come On Stewart, Do Two Wrongs Make A Right? I love the Daily Show and will continue to watch it no matter what Jon Stewart says or does. If he goes out and says he is pro-Cancer, it won't change my opinion that he's funny because the two would be completely unrelated. But he said something stupid last night and I feel the need to comment. Here's the clip:. The Daily Show With Jon Stewart. M - Th 11p / 10c. That the UAW concession.

But on the eve of the Inauguration and after only generating one comment in weeks, I have decided to write an op-ed. The topic is foreign policy and why a less intrusive American approach benefits the millenials. Here's the article that spurred this action:. America: What in the world does it want. By TED ANTHONY – 1 day ago. When 21st-centur...
