As we continue to fight this global war on terror (actually, let me rephrase that), as we fight this war in Iraq it is alarming how many American’s have no idea of the power struggles between Sunnis and Shiites.

Could our two oil executives who are running America actually have some impact on gas prices? Recent polls seem to suggest this idea, with the majority of American believing that the recent uncharacteristic dip in gas prices is the basis for some conspiracy theory. And why not?

Study on the number of Iraqi deaths
| October 12, 2006 | Posted by Matthew Anselmo under Middle East |
There is a new report being published today trying to determine how many Iraqi lives have been taken by the war. The figure of 655,000 deaths might shock you, as they did me, largely due to the poor reporting of today’s media. The writeup can be found in the Washington Post.

Ever wonder how reliable your news source is? A couple years back there was a study conducted on news sources and the viewer’s/reader’s knowledge of current events. Very interesting read especially when the report begins to detail cable and network news programming. Ever wonder which viewers have the most distorted perception of current events? Read…

| October 6, 2006 | Posted by Matthew Anselmo under Republicans |
This paper was written as the first of two parts. This one explained why Bush would not receive my vote in the 2004 election, while the other explained why Kerry would.
