The end of History and the last (wo)man
In the early 1990s, Francis Fukuyama wrote a book called the End of History and the last man, making the argument that all people would eventually live in liberal democracies with the demise of the Cold War.

One step closer to the White House: McCain wins FL GOP race and Fox News is a little less dead to me…
Today was my last day in Florida. In mere hours I will be making my way to the Tampa International Airport. Boo. This has been one of the most fun and amazine experiences. I’ve made friendships that I believe may last forever. I learnt first hand how a campaign works to generate support from a […]

Today, I got up at 5:30. Mary Kay was picking me up at 6:15. We were heading to Catholic churches with really nice flyers geared towards Catholics who might be interested in supporting the Senator. The leaflets pointed out that McCain’s kids went to Catholic schools. He’s […]

The Legendary Town Hall Meeting
Governor Crist supports McCain! This is breaking news and this is great news. Crist is a Republican Governor for Florida and he is very, very popular. This means that McCain is now the candidate of the Republican establishment. Senators, Representatives, Govenors, and former Secretaries are all supporting McCain. But McCain is a hated man by […]
