Form what I can make of the news, former Senator Chuck Hagel is apparently being grilled by every Republican ever up on Capitol Hill, despite being a well-respected Republican, and a veteran with that oh-so-important badge of honor called service in the Vietnam War. It seems to me that what republicans reek of isn't petty revenge, but desperation. What they see is a white, war veteran, who has been ostracized from their supposedly perfect party. And so they fight, till the bitter end. They continue to knife their former friend in the back, all because he thinks it's wrong to send innocent men and women off to die on some god-forsaken pile of sand and bombs, just for lower oil prices? It's nothing more than a smear campaign, and a haunting warning to any elephants watching this go down. Your party is eating itself alive, and unless you want to go down with the ship, come to your senses. Realize that you haven't left the party, it just left you.

Inauguration Day
Congratulations to Barack Obama, who will be sworn in today as the president of the United States. President Obama defeated challenger Mitt Romney by winning the U.S. Presidential Election in November of 2012. Obama will be the 3rd consecutive president to win a 2nd term. Romney eventually ended up with 47% of the popular vote, and proved that the universe has a great sense of humor. Obama has already been officially sworn in as of yesterday, but today is the larger ceremony. Once again, this blog would like to congratulate President Obama for winning reelection in 2012. Have a safe and happy new year, and stay informed, because they can never take knowledge away from you.
Sincerely,
K

Al-Assad must go.
Bashar Al-Assad is a menace to the plan of middle east peace. Since the arab spring came to his country, it has stalled, leaving behind an empty shell of a country, and over 60,000 dead since 2011. It is a mystery to this blogger how he has managed to hang on to power, but I say that it should stop here. The US has failed time and time again to stop mass civilian deaths in the past. What ever happened to all our concern for Darfur and Sudan?
This is not a fair fight. Assad has planes, tanks, and high-grade rockets, while the people he mows down have nothing more than trucks, and AK 47's. We can do more, and we should do more. Sanctions do nothing, and it's time for real action. Work with the rebel government, and help to foster in a new government in Syria. One that will appreciate us for helping them.
These opinions may be taken lightly by some. But mark my words, humanity is a powerful thing. If we all come together, and let congress know that now is the time, more than ever, to act, then we can get the full support of our country. And then, we will be the change that we wish to see in the world.
Sincerely,
K
