Blogs about: Politics

Oh, wowsers: What’s more complicated and controversial than politics? Since the dawn of (relatively) civilized society, we humans have been trying to control each other, either for the common good or personal gain. We’re still working on getting it right, meaning there’s no shortage of hot-button political issues going in the world today, from local city council meetings to debates at the United Nations. The internet, thankfully, has helped level the playing field. It’s now possible to keep tabs on serious issues like government atrocities, the influence of money on politicians, and that all-important topic known as political humor.
