In your face.. Foxy!

This was certainly one of those nights that I seriously wished I had cable at home, I was struggling to keep up with the election results online by juggling between different sources. Most of the news outlets did a decent job in trying to present the results as they came, what I missed the most is the comments and reactions from the political punditry. As soon as I saw Ohio tip towards Mr. O, I was thrilled and started cheering while my son was sincerely doing his homework. I really wanted to tune into Fox news to see their reaction but was able to catch a glimpse of the mockery between Karl Rove & the decision desk about declaring Ohio. It was quite evident that it was very hard to digest for Mr. Rove, who tried to exploit the new rules of the Citizens United to oust President Obama.

What really is 'Thanksgiving'? What is the significance behind a 'Turkey dinner'? Why is it celebrated on the last Thursday of November? Please understand that my intention is not to point out my finding but only to make us all realize that we do a lot of things not really understanding the real significance. This ...

Message on Syria

When the President addresses our Nation on any crucial issue like the crisis in Syria, in this case, there are some unsung heroes that are seldom recognized. I am not talking about the Secretary of State Kerry or Secretary Hagel for floating an idea requesting a surrender of Syria's chemical arsenal nor am I referring to Mr. Putin who will eventually claim the credit for diplomacy due to his connections with the Assad regime, I am referring to guys like Cody Keenan or Jon Favreau , President's speechwriters, they are the real unsung heroes. When the stakes were so high and everyone was eagerly waiting to understand what the next critical move would be, last night's speech was pretty impressive. Often, It is about how you package the message, obviously a big part of it goes to delivering the powerful message but most of the public don't even realize that the person delivering the message was not t...
