A First for America??

Aggregated from: Hypnotic Verses

Will the U.S. see its first African American President this November? I've talked to friends in the States, who are for Obama, but feel he doesn't stand a chance up against McCain. One friend said that she read some poll months ago saying that 70% of Americans didn't believe in evolution... there...

The Assassination of Barack Obama

Aggregated from: Mahmood's Den

No he’s not. Yet. And I hope that he never falls as a victim of violence of any sort, as I wish the rest of humanity. This is just a hypothetical question as I have heard it repeated over the last few days as it seems people are flabbergasted at the possibility of a black man becoming the most pow...

Skype conference with American high school students

Aggregated from: Mideast Youth - Thinking Ahead » USA

Sometime this week (or early next week) a few of us are going to be joining several high school students from Pennsylvania in a Skype conference. It will be moderated by their teacher, and it’s to help with their global studies class, so think of it as a cultural exchange as well as an educat...

an indefatigable politician - and linguist

Aggregated from: bint battuta in bahrain

So Nader's running again. He just doesn't given up - you've got to admire him for that. Away from politics, I started wondering whether he is the most linguistically accomplished candidate for US president there has ever been. He speaks English and Arabic, of course, but also Chinese, Portuguese,...

A Frustrated Hillary

Aggregated from: Ammaro.com

Barack Obama has won 11 primaries and caucuses in a row, diminishing Hillary Clinton's chances of a victory. She still has a chance, mind you, if she wins both the upcoming Ohio and Texas primaries. Overall, however, the future doesn't look too bright for her, as both of these races seem pretty clos...
