    The case against college.

    I would say a 4 year degree is the minimum requirement now for any job. In 20 years a 4 year degree will be the minimum requirement for even a job at a fast food restaurant flipping burgers and a Masters degree for any other job

    Obama's Big Sellout

    Too bad the opposition (teabaggers) are missing the real fight. Rolling Stone made a good point of pointing that out and I agree. With idiots such as Palin as the opposition and the people who follow her they are missing the real problem. Obama is sold lock stock and barrel to the big...

    2010 and 2012 prediction
