tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61836152012-01-02T15:11:13.808-05:00This is where I very infrequently post my ramblings about politics. If you are looking for concise and incisive thinking, I suggest your time would be better spent at other sites. On the other hand, if you are perfectly willing to be led wherever I lead you to, you will find this blog a happy home. Dont try to look for an overarching theme to this blog. It doesnt have one.iamcool388noreply@blogger.comBlogger161100tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6183615.post-44238751748220546412009-01-17T03:38:00.001-05:002009-01-17T03:39:36.798-05:00

I'm not sure if I am going to be posting often here, or at all for that matter. Just popped in to reclaim my account from an old email, and thought might write a post just for old times sake.iamcool388

There are rumors about an upcoming Supreme Court Vacancy. Justice Stevens is all set to step down at the end of this term of SCOTUS. However, according to many sites, it is possible that if Justice Stevens decides to NOT retire, Justice Souter might step down. He is known to dislike DC and, according to people who know him, wants nothing more than to live in his hometown in New Hampshire.So much

A cowboy was holding his herd in a remote pasture when suddenly a brand-new BMW advanced out of a dust cloud towards him.The driver, a young man in a Brioni suit, Gucci shoes, Ray Bansunglasses, YSL tie, leans out the window and asks the cowboy "If I tell you exactly how many cows and calves you have in your herd, will you give me a calf?"The cowboy looks at the man, obviously a yuppie, then

I was called a "bloody racist" today by a person i considered to be a friend.We need some context here. NYU College Republicans had a bake sale recently in which a cookie could be bought by a white male for 1 dollar... for a black male for .75... for a white female for .50 and a black female for .25. This was to highlight the inherent racism in Affirmative Action (Only its not called racism

This is my assessment of the State of the Union.I am going to take it one topic at a time. We will start of with International anf foreign affairs topics and move later on to domestic affairs in my next post. While I have my reasons to be cynical about the propaganda being put out by both the parties, on the whole i am optimistic about the general path America is treading upon.FOREIGN AFFAIRS :-1

I've been trying to add a site counter to this blog for some time now... nothing seems to be working.Anyways, i've not been posting for some time but that situation should be rectified soon. As for my recent wavering in my faith in conservatism, i'm still on solid ground. The ideals are correct... the idols might not be.Will post more later.UPDATE : The counter is finally up and running. Thanks

I was a little surprised to find out that in every meeting of IMF and WTO, there are thousands of protestors who are absolutely enraged at them. I knew there were protests, just not that they were so widespread and that they occured in EVERY city the meetings were held. I was even more surprised to find out that these groups congregated to protest against globalization, more particularly

So i met chhavi's sister today. She is against Bush... as usual. But its good talking to her... At least we dont argue about ''Bush lied, kids died.' And anyways, i like her.

I was in Stern Lab talking to two girls... and invariably, the conversation turned to the recent election. And as usual, they were both Kerry supporters. So i asked them the inevitable question... Me: "So give me 3 good reasons why John Kerry should have become the President?" Dina: "I've got work to do." Me: (Exasperated) "Why is it that everyone suddenly remembers some urgent work which they

So i'm in Miami. Its been about 2 hours since i reached here... and i've already made some preliminary conclusions about the place. The latina girls are hot... the indian chicks are slutty... and this place is heavily liberal too. Tons of Kerry supporters. Including all the people in the house i'm living in. Guess i'll just keep my politics to myself f0r the next 5 days. Not that different

Well, well, well. I cant seem to stay out of controversy. Here is a guy against whom i have many reasons not to room with next semester in London. He wants to room with me. I do not know why, since he is supposed to be a big *networking* guy. If he has so many friends, why the hell is he interested so much in rooming with me? (All gays secretly touching themselves, LEAVE.) So he tells me to

Guess what? I cant have coke from a university vending machine any more. It is being banned from the campus. Well, shortly will be. This leads me to believe that the student council people have too much time on their hands... If the best they can do is come up to fill their time up is ban coke movement. I am thinking of writing a letter to the next student council voting on this issue, something

The 9/11 commission... Today i went to listen to Mr. Thomas Kean and Mr. Lee Hamilton, the Chair and Vice Chair of the 9/11 commission, in Vanderbilt Hall. I had expected it to be full of rhetoric and venom against the government and Bush, which i thought they had adopted as their job... Or at least that is the idea i had received from the media portrayal. I was pleasantly surprised that in

I had stopped writing my blog on this site... but decided that i needed more blogs to fill up the tons of empty time i get by purposely not studying. This blog will be more about my views on politics, economics and society in general. My other blogs will deal with my personal life. If you would like to know about the other blogs, lemme know... I'll be back. Piyush.

Hi people... This is my first post, so i will keep it short and sweet. I am an abnormal guy, living an abnormal life... a delusion everyone harbors :) ! However, i do have some events in my life which cannot be called normal by any definition of the word, as many of my friends would know ;) Talking of friends, i have great ones... As Walt Whitman said, "I no doubt deserved my enemies, but I
