On Aug. 1, 2011, the collective voice of 6,657 American University undergraduates let forth a horrifying cry. The source of pain and suffering? Our school had just lost its claim to fame, its joie de vivre, its mojo: the title of “Most Politically Active” campus.

In mid-March of 2004, the government of Angola was preparing to welcome a cohort of foreign dignitaries. Government officials deeply desired to impress their guests. After all, the ambassadors they were welcoming had just provided Angola with a $2 billion loan. In a world that has all but forgotten the African continent, foreign investment is especially appreciated by the few nations that receive it.

In 2001, Republicans were on an electoral high. After crafting a shrewd GOP victory in both the presidential and legislative elections, Karl Rove made the now infamous promise of delivering a permanent Republican majority. Had someone reminded Rove of Albert Einstein’s description of politics as a swinging pendulum, he might have tempered his guarantee. Sure enough, a mere five years later, Democrats overtook both the House and the Senate.

As if President Obama’s opponents didn’t have enough ammunition.

President Jimmy Carter, I have a request: sit down and shut up. Please. We all know you were well intentioned, but saying that anti-Obama protests is fueled by racial tensions serves no constructive process. In fact, since the comments were aired the hostility has only grown. So for the sake of all who are sick of the partisan vitriol in Washington and want results, please keep your thoughts to yourself — or at least think about the consequences of voicing them aloud. Thank you.

It takes a certain audacity to call oneself a political moderate. I don't mean the type of person who calls himself or herself a moderate in order to either straddle the political fence and appear amenable to everyone or shroud their true ignorance of politics. The people I'm writing about are politically active, pragmatic individuals whose beliefs cannot be easily clustered to the left or to the right. While the Ann Coulters and Bill Mahers of the world predictably face intense disdain from the opposite side of their political spectrums, those of us in the middle expect to be in the center of a delicious sandwich of political contention.

The nation's economy has little chance of a recovery. That is, according to a recent FOX News article published last week. Citing numerous statistics, FOX News paints a dire picture for the United States, concluding that "the worst is yet to come." This information is enough to make even a seasoned economist frantically retract into the fetal position.

Clarity is often found in bizarre places. When watching stand-up comedy, I hardly expect to gain insight into an issue that has baffled politicians for decades. But that is exactly what happened while watching comedian Chris Rock.

Pennsylvania judges Mark Ciavarella and Michael Conahan can hardly be described as honorable. Despicable is the word of choice. Last month the two pleaded guilty to federal fraud and conspiracy charges. But theirs is no ordinary crime.

Sometimes, political irony is just too much to handle. Need an example? In 1986, voters in South Dakota were treated to what seemed to be your average congressional reelection campaign ad. On the television screen, a 1971 Pontiac cruises along the D.C. streets. A voice narrates:

Through all the debacles associated with the previous administration, there was always that puzzling 25 percent of Americans who insisted Bush was a decent head of state. But with Barack Obama inaugurated as president, the remaining 75 percent, including myself, are expecting a significant shift in substance and policy. In one of his first executive orders, the new president did not disappoint.
