Can Obama bring world peace? Can McCain cure childhood obesity? These are some claims that those politicians followers make.  John Stossel’s latest investigation highlights why people act as if ‘their candidate’ can work magic. He also conducts some very interesting investigation on what the government does for society compared to what ordinary citizens do. It kind of makes you [...]

Today is one of those days that I wished JJ had a cell phone so I could contact him more easily while he’s at School. Between classes, teaching and tutoring undergrads he hardly ever has time to check his email while at the school. I only called the Chemistry Department once to get a hold of him which [...]
