Make America Fake Again


If Hillary got indicted by that right-wing FBI

And good ole Bernie’s heart had him lying down to die

If all the other candidates were thrown into a ring,

And killed each other off with straw-man weaponry

If that thing called ‘foreign policy’ was really just a game

And experience was more about reality tv show fame

If Muslims were all evil and the refugees a scam

Or the terrorist threats a joke and the Arab Spring a sham

If Americans were morons, duped on marijuana dreams

Or Mexicans were rapists, building our walls to stop their schemes

If the poor could be delivered by a real estate tycoon

And illegals could be rounded up, like animals two by two

If truth were merely relative and anything could fly

And insults were called speeches—substantive, not denied

If the moral compass of the land were broken right in two

And intellectuals deported for revealing what is true

If the world became a fantasy shrouded in lies and sin,

Then I’d give my vote to Donald as shoo-in for the win

My Epiphany: The Power of Choice

So it’s finals week. Probably not the best time to be blogging out my thoughts, but let’s just say I’m not really in the studying mood right now. I’ll pay for it later. In a way, this blog is my release. It lets me get everything out of my mind that threatens to overwhelm me. I think too much. I’m slow of speech. But I can write. I love to write. So, when you have the sort of epiphany that I think I’ve been experiencing over the last month, it’s not something you just ignore. So...I'm releasing it. I live inside my own head most the time. Often it’s the case that I prefer observing to speaking, but that’s not socially conducive. Still, I generally only like talking to people who I feel close to. The reason? For better or worse, when I actually get to talking, it’s exactly what I’m thinking. I may not enunciate it correctly (I’m pretty horrible at that), but there’s no doubt that I’m going to be honest.   It’s like trusting someone with my inner self. Who I reall...

The good, the bad, and the awkward: The life of an American Heritage TA.

American Heritage Teaching Assistant: Basically I get to teach labs of students once a week on principles dealing with American politics/ethics/economics, particularly in relation to the Constitution. Sounds boring right? Well, it’s anything but boring. And for a political geek like me, it’s the best job out there. So here’s the good, bad, and…well, awkward. All part of why I LOVE my job. THE GOOD: Oh there are far too many to write them all, but I thought I should give a quick highlight of five experiences that remind me just how much I love my job. 1. The People. My first semester of being an American Heritage TA was particularly fun, I somehow was able to develop a pretty good relationship with all my students. I really loved having them come into the review room. It is a lot more laid back and I get to talk about their lives and interests as I try to figure out how to best help them succeed in class and beyond. So often, our conversations drifted from the actual c...
