Obama's Nobel Peace Prize: Deserved or Premature?
This morning, a humbled President Obama said he did not expect to wake up to the news that he won the Nobel Peace Prize. Maintaining that he did not feel that he deserved to be in the company of the transformative figures previously honored by the prize, Obama said he would accept it as "a call to action, a call for nations to confront the challenges of the 21st century."
The Nobel committee cited Obama's rare ability to have "captured the world's attention and given its people hope for a better future."
Do You Buy Meg Whitman's Excuse For Not Voting?
Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman wants to be governor of California, but it took her until the age of 46 to register to vote. (Reminder: the voting age is 18!) Whitman has apologized for the 28-year oversight while offering an explanation. She said:
"I was focused on raising a family, on my husband's career, and we moved many, many times.
Will Your Pet Rock the Vote at Your Local Polling Place?
North is six years old and it's high time for him to get a taste of our political system! Now I've already found a couple ways for him to rock (and eat) the vote, so I may just bring him along to the local fire station polling place next week. Have you ever done this with your furry friends or do you simply share the results with them later on?
Would a Female Politician Get Away With This?
On Saturday, Republican State Senator Scott Brown of Massachusetts announced his candidacy for the US Senate, desiring to fill in the spot left open by Senator Edward Kennedy's passing. He is branding himself as a fiscal conservative and Washington outsider.
But as political blog Wonkette uncovered in 2007, Senator Brown had a nude centerfold spread in a 1982 issue of Cosmopolitan magazine when he was 22.
Carly Fiorina's Spotty Voting Record: Shocking or So What?
Former eBay CEO Meg Whitman isn't the only businesswoman gunning for a political career in California. Republican Carly Fiorina, once the head of Hewlett-Packard, wants to challenge Barbara Boxer to her senate seat. Just one problem: she has a very spotty voting record.
Do You Care If People Like You?
Nancy Pelosi might be one of the most powerful women in the United States, but she's not the most well liked. The Speaker of the House's favorability rating sits at 32 percent, while her unfavorability rating comes in at 48 percent. In other words: more people dislike Nancy Pelosi than like her.
Hillary Clinton For President?
What did Hillary Clinton say when she was asked yesterday if she still wanted to be America's first female president?
"That's not anything I'm at all thinking about . .
Do You Think Sarah Palin Has a Political Future?
I'm still trying to make sense of the bombshell Sarah Palin dropped over the weekend. At first I thought Palin must have her eyes set on political office outside of Alaska and doesn't want her duties as governor to hold her back. No longer stuck in Alaska, she'll be able to travel the country if she decides she wants to run for president.
Blago Haircare Products: Funny or Lame?
Disgraced former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich seems to have spent more time obsessing about his hair than his ethical behavior or political reputation. So the makers of Blago Hair have attempted to cash in on his hair obsession with a volumizing shampoo and conditioner. Given how brief his notoriety, and how unappealing a character he was, I think a quickie t-shirt would have made more sense.
Are Some Employees More Popular Than Others?
Research in the latest issue of the Journal of Applied Psychology shows that workers evaluate their colleagues in terms of popularity. According to The Wall Street Journal, those who are considered popular are treated more favorably by their colleagues, and the study suggests that these workers aren't necessarily favored because of job merit. The researchers conveyed their opinion of the findings and wrote, "By valuing popularity, organizations may be promoting a certain ‘clubby’ atmosphere that mimics school culture."
