political scientism | forgetting-me-not

In recognition of this week’s theme — “forgetting” — it would have been convenient had I resorted to contriving a post in list form because I had forgotten about this week’s deadline. But, the truth of the matter is that (1) I read kwilk’s post this week; (2) I liked it; (3) I’m impressionable;...

political scientism | we all scream for flat screen

If I wrote a political column worth its salt, I’d use this week’s theme — nightmares — to talk about the upcoming electoral season. After all, the word night-mares could be tweaked to mean “dark horses,” and I’d use that play on words as a jumping off point for a post about the candidates...

political scientism | there goes the neighborhoodie

I hate controversy. Really, really hate it. I don’t want to think about how many illegitimate children I’ve brought into this world simply to avoid an uncomfortable conversation about taking a relationship to the “next step.” I say this only so that you will understand the dread with which I am approaching this week’s...

political scientism | codes? we don’t need no stinking codes

Are you ready? Well, are you? Are you ready to get boring? If you stick with me, I promise a paradox at the end. (Check out David Cohen’s post at SCOTUSblog to drink the genius water straight from the fire hose.) To get truly boring, we need to go back in time to the...

political scientism | bridge me up, buttercup

Tip O’Neill, former Chairman of the US House of Representatives’ Grammar Committee, once declared that “all politics is local.” Very true, Tip. Here in Miami, it’s also the case that “toda la política es loca.” And I mean crazy in a bad way. As in, “Did you see that crazy drag queen stab that...
