Cosmopolitics is an old, barely-used term that has something to do with separating politics from culture in such a way that irrational and unrealistic ideas can be discussed outside the realm of reality.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KH0Rj2xcqQs For reasons that shouldn't be a total mystery, activism is sexy. Whether you're a left wing radical building a pipe bomb to protest war; or an Islamist radical building a bomb out of a pressure cooker to protest a marathon, you'll likely find some naive young dropout or human sexuality major to press your… Continue reading How to Fight for Animal Rights & Not Get Laid
There are a few things we can probably all agree on: America needs to be energy independent, and America needs to decrease its reliance on non-renewable energy sources. Both of those things go hand-in-hand most of the time; but because we can't snap our fingers and magically conjure up a universal new energy plan that… Continue reading Oil Pipeline Protests a Crude Excuse for Tribalism

For those of you who haven't been following the events, they are essentially a rallying cry across the country for accountability from the top 1%, the wealthy, the bankers, the business owners--more specifically--the companies… Continue reading Occupy Philadelphia Pushes Forward: Day 2
If you haven't had your head buried in the proverbial sand the past few weeks, you'd be semi-aware that there's turmoil in the fertile crescent. Is it the fertile crescent? Maybe not, but you understand where I'm going with this, hopefully. The big news is Iran's recent election and I have to say, I'm getting… Continue reading Ayatollah Ali Khamenei Rocks the Casbah

Now, I know what you're thinking, but the invaluable mainstream media has assured me that this has absolutely nothing to do with the practice of delicately dunking one's own Chicken McNuggets into the unsuspecting gaping maw of a sleeping companion.
